Summary
Board approved $9,358 from bond proceeds to cover unexpected costs on the LRIP scoreboard project after crews encountered saturated soils that increased installation expenses.
The Dexter Community School District Board of Education approved an additional $9,358 to complete the LRIP scoreboard project, using proceeds from the district’s bond funds.
A district presenter said the project’s contingency did not cover all unexpected site conditions. "We had soil conditions because it was full of water where the posts had to go, which caused us to have a bill left," the presenter said, and the district requested the extra funds to pay for filling and concrete piles necessary to stabilize the scoreboard posts.
The board voted on the motion to approve $9,358 from $20.17 bond proceeds to close out the project; the motion passed on a roll call vote with all members voting aye.
Staff said the electrical work had been procured and that the additional costs were related to subsurface conditions and not the original electrical bid. The board did not schedule further action on the item beyond the vote to approve the funding.
