USD 475 Board of Education members have approved a request to approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Package #2 for the new Fort Riley elementary school. In December, the Board approved the early release of GMP Package #1 for $3,995,987. During the bid opening on Jan. 5, the competitive bid pricing was secured for GMP Package #2 from Hutton Construction at $7,616,417.
