District reviews guaranteed maximum price for Gifford K–8 expansion; $16.7 million budget cited
Summary
Staff presented a guaranteed maximum price from Shear Construction for Gifford K–8 renovations, including a new gym and locker rooms; the project is listed in the district long-range budget at $16,678,611.
Racine Unified School District staff presented a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposal from Shear Construction Company Inc. for renovations at Gifford K–8, including an additional gymnasium with locker rooms and staff office space and improvements to portions of the original 1960s building.
District staff noted the project appears in the long-range budget with an allocation of $16,678,611 and said the GMP aligns with that planning figure. Board members asked whether previously added areas would receive cosmetic touch-ups and confirmed that the school will continue to use the existing smaller gym for some elementary activities while the new gym serves middle-school programming.
One board member urged staff to incorporate identified surface and finish repairs into the project as budget allows and encouraged principals to submit maintenance work orders for items that can be handled through operations. No formal board action on the GMP was recorded during the work session.
