Board approves demolition at former Pipkin site and multiple change orders; several routine votes pass unanimously
Summary
Springfield R-XII trustees approved change orders and a demolition contract for a purchased Pipkin Middle School parcel, with all motions passing by 7-0. The actions were procedural approvals to move capital work forward; several informational items will be returned for vote at the Feb. 25 meeting.
The Springfield R-XII Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a set of change orders and to accept the low bid for demolition of a former Pipkin Middle School building on property recently purchased by the district.
The approvals allow the district to move forward with material testing and security work identified in the packet and to begin demolition on the purchased site. The board recorded each motion as passing 7-0.
Board members were told the change orders include material testing at Cowden and safety and security work at KAC. No additional dollar amounts for the individual change orders were provided at the meeting; staff said details had been provided in the board packet and would be available for members to review prior to the next meeting.
For the Pipkin Middle School demolition, staff reported four bidders; the low bid was Courtney Construction at $1,195,000. The recommendation presented to the board was to approve that bid so site demolition could begin.
