Board approves change orders for fence, Reed project and other bond items
Summary
Trustees approved a set of change orders and agreements tied to the 2023 bond program, including six‑foot safety fencing for elementary playgrounds and a $129,104 change order for Reed building project.
The board considered change orders and agreements under the 2023 bond program and approved the listed expenditures on March 25.
Staff summarized the first four items as safety fencing — six‑foot fencing around elementary playgrounds — and described a change order package for the Reed building project that totaled $129,104. Changes to the Reed project included multiple items: a missed mechanical shaft and one‑hour enclosure, knee wall supports for exterior window ledges, a request to extend a wood dance floor continuously across Room 202 (a district‑requested scope change), and the reinstallation of auditorium wall pack lighting that had been value‑engineered out of earlier drawings.
Trustees asked whether missed items should have been caught by the design consultant (Navigate); staff said Navigate did not catch two of the missing items and noted the district will apply lessons learned to upcoming projects such as Pipkin. The motion to approve the expenditures passed 7‑0.
Ending: The board approved the listed change orders and directed staff to carry lessons from Reed into future project oversight.
