Board accepts reports and authorizes guaranteed maximum price amendment for Inglemore High School Phase 1
Summary
The North Shore board accepted a value engineering report and a constructability review for the Inglemore High School Phase 1 replacement project and authorized Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 3 to allow summer procurement and subcontractor scheduling.
The North Shore School District Board of Directors accepted required state reports and authorized a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment for Phase 1 of the Inglemore High School replacement project.
Superintendent Michael Tully told the board that state law requires a value engineering study and a constructability review for state-assisted projects larger than 50,000 square feet. The board accepted both the value engineering report and the constructability review and their accompanying responses.
The board also authorized Guaranteed Price Amendment No. 3 to the GCCM (general contractor–construction manager) contract. Dre Roth, executive director of capital projects, described the amendment as a “mini-max” that allows the district to procure essential materials and contract several subcontractors in advance of the final GMP while keeping the schedule moving. Roth said the district expects the final GMP to be presented to the board in August.
Why it matters: the actions allow the district to secure critical equipment and schedule demolition, abatement, geothermal, fire-protection and electrical trades for this summer’s work, an approach district staff said will help keep the project on schedule and control costs.
Director Jacqueline McGourty praised the capital projects and facilities teams for careful review of value-engineering options that considered student benefit and green-building commitments while delivering savings. The board voted to accept the reports and approve the amendment.
