District hears progress report on Evergreen Elementary; GMP 3 to come to the board
Summary
Project consultant reported footings and formwork are in place and contractors have executed three contract amendments. The board was told 90% construction documents are due Oct. 19 and 100% CDs by mid–late December; GMP 3 (full project GMP) will be presented at the next meeting.
A presenter updating the board on the Evergreen Elementary project said construction is moving ahead and the district will receive a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP 3) covering the full project at the next board meeting. The presenter said the team has executed three contract amendments so far and that footings have been poured in most areas.
“The project is moving along extraordinarily well,” the presenter (speaker 5) told the board, noting that the 100% DD set has been received, formwork is in place and some walls will be prefabricated on site. The presenter said the school's capacity will accommodate about 600 students and that 90% construction documents are scheduled for Oct. 19 with 100% CDs targeted for mid‑to‑late December.
The presenter explained the team is completing OSPI‑required constructability and value‑engineering reviews as part of the district's progressive design‑build approach, and that early buyouts for long‑lead mechanical and electrical items are underway to limit schedule risk. Board members pressed about commissioning plans; the presenter said commissioning will occur substantially before occupancy and continue during initial occupancy to tune systems.
Board members were also reminded that the district's occupancy window is tight and staff continue to monitor risk factors such as weather or permitting that could affect the timeline.
