The School Board agreed Monday to hire the Gilbane Building Co. as project manager for the referendum’s construction and remodeling projects.

Gilbane, which will receive 4 percent of the projects’ cost, will only be paid if referendum is approved.

“It may seem premature, but to be successful, we want to be able to hit the ground running,” said Hazen.

Gilbane will serve as adviser to the projects, manage all contractor bid packages and make sure there is community and minority participation.
