The Lyon County School District Board of Trustees voted at its Oct. 28 meeting to approve
CORE Construction as the construction manager at-risk for the Fernley High School single-point
of entry and culinary project, and Miles Construction for the single-point of entry project at
Dayton High School.
The Trustees had voted in August to proceed with the projects at five district schools using bond
funds. At that time, the district’s Executive Director of Operations Harman Bains said a state law
changed by the legislature in 2023 requires each project to be bid separately. Bains said that law
only allows school districts in counties with populations of less than 100,000 to use a CMAR for
two projects a year. Because the Fernley and Dayton High School projects are the most
expensive, the Trustees opted to utilize a CMAR for those.
The district will solicit bids from general contractors for the other projects, at Silver Stage High School,
Yerington High School and Silverland Middle School, and will be required to accept the lowest
bid as that law requires.
Bains said a CMAR gives the district a guaranteed maximum price for the project and the
CMAR is responsible for any additional costs.
Construction on the projects is expected to take place over the summer break of 2026.
