Board approves $90,000 change order to speed LHS cafeteria work
Summary
The board approved a $90,000 change order for Libertyville High School cafeteria work to add labor and a second shift, an expense handled within project contingency and previously bid allowances.
The board approved a change order for construction work at Libertyville High School’s cafeteria on April 28, authorizing an additional $90,000 to accelerate work and limit disruption to school operations.
District staff explained the change order will allow the contractor to add labor and additional shifts so work can progress outside of the loud daytime hours that interfere with instruction. The contract paperwork referenced a $140,000 total trade change but district staff said $50,000 of that had already been allocated from another bid allowance, making the net additional amount $90,000. Staff said the change is within the project contingency.
Don Carmichael moved approval of the change order ATP‑002 in the amount of $90,000; Midlesh Kotwal seconded. The board approved the change order by roll call.
District staff said further change orders are likely as the project continues but that this request is a time‑sensitive measure intended to keep the cafeteria project on schedule for school use.
