Board of Regents

Notice of Hearing

Pursuant to K.S.A. 76-7,131(e), on behalf of the Kansas Board of Regents, Wichita State University gives notice that the State Educational Institution Procurement Committee will conduct a public hearing at 11:00 a.m. Monday, February 5, 2024, in Room #251 of the Rhatigan Student Center, 1845 Fairmount St. #56, Wichita, Kansas. Visitor parking is available in the parking garage located south of the Rhatigan Student Center off WuShock Drive.

The purpose of the hearing is for the public to have an opportunity to comment on a request from Wichita State University to utilize Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) alternate project delivery method as authorized by the state educational institution project delivery construction procurement act (K.S.A. 76-7,125) for the University Stadium Project Phase 1A and 1B.

The University Stadium project is a replacement for Cessna Stadium. Phasing has been developed around maintaining the spectator seating and other infrastructure required for the Wichita State Track and Field teams as well as the annual Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) Track and Field Championship. Demolition of the east stands of Cessna Stadium has been completed outside the scope of this project as a separate small capital project. Phase 1A includes improvements on the east side of the existing track (a seating area, new free-standing field lights, ticket pavilion, restroom/storage buildings, and plaza). Phase 1B widens the existing grass field to accommodate a regulation-sized soccer field and reconfigures the 8-lane track around the widened field. This phase also includes new aluminum bleacher seating at the north and south side of the track. Future phases, 2A and 2B, will be conducted under a separate contract.

Construction costs are estimated at $9.6 million.
