Board awards modular classroom purchase and job‑order contract for renovations; Nabholz GMP amendment totals $2.06 million
Summary
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price amendment of $2,063,629.43 to Nabholz Construction Corporation for a modular classroom building (one building comprised of eight sections) and awarded a job‑order contract to BT Builders LLC with an initial funding cap of $500,000 for smaller renovation projects.
The Union Public Schools Board approved construction actions to support an upcoming grade‑center renovation, including the purchase and setup of temporary modular classrooms and a job‑order contract for minor renovations.
Doctor Robinson, a district staff member, described the modular purchase as the temporary‑classroom phase: a single modular building assembled from eight trailer sections and associated site and utility work to house students during an interior remodel. Robinson told the board the district hopes the modulars “are delivered, set, and ready to receive kids by January of 2026.”
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment No. 3 to Nabholz Construction Corporation in the amount of $2,063,629.43 from bond funds for the modular classroom and related site work.
Separately, the board accepted bids and awarded a job‑order contract (JOC) for multiple minor renovations and small capital improvements to BT Builders LLC with an initial funding cap request of $500,000 from various funds. Doctor Robinson explained the JOC is a delivery method that allows rapid procurement for small projects using unit pricing tied to the RS Means guide; the contract approval does not itself encumber the entire cap but enables future orders under the contract.
Both items were approved on voice votes; board members voted in favor. District staff said the modulars are intended to free interior space so the renovation can proceed and mitigate long lead times for new school construction.
