December 2024 change‑order report returns $93,447 to district, overall reductions free up about $175,000
Summary
The construction change‑order report for December 2024 showed no direct material change orders, about $93,447.92 in non‑direct material purchases returned and contract reductions that returned roughly $175,000 to the district, presenters said.
District construction staff presented the December 2024 change‑order report Feb. 4 and described contract adjustments that returned funds to the district and reduced some vendor purchase orders.
Tina Silcox and Melissa Rivera presented the report. They told board members there were no direct material change orders for the month, $93,447.92 in non‑direct material purchases, and no contingency adjustments. The report also listed eight change‑order items, including two zero‑dollar extensions to substantial completion dates, five contract reductions that together returned about $175,000 of unused funds to the district, and one reconciliation related to a direct material purchase order.
Board members asked clarifying questions about Riverdale and how returned funds would be handled. Silcox said the funds saved from canceled direct material purchase orders (for example, unused kitchen equipment items) would be returned to the district budget and could be moved into contingency or reallocated for other needs. Board member Jordan expressed relief that unused funds would be returned and asked for transparency so the public understands how money is being used at project sites.
Ending: The board did not take formal action; staff said they will move refunded amounts to contingency or return them to district funds per standard procedures and will continue to provide change‑order reports to the board.
