USD 475 and Fort Riley would be involved in a proposed construction work support agreement. The school district's Chief Operations Officer, David Wild, described it to Military Affairs Council members as a $10 million pass-through. He told JC Post, "That's an initiative we're working on with Fort Riley. We're in a pilot program under intergovernmental support agreement for a little bit of construction work done by district contractors on behalf of Fort Riley Public Works. "
Wild said that program has proven to be successful so they're looking to enlarge it out of a pilot to a sustained program. "Where the district contractors under state procurement rules will be doing work for Fort Riley.
Wild noted that it could be a program of up to $10 million dollars per year. "The district receives a fee for handling that process, again it's still under development, but something I think it's going to be a go."
