Board approves guaranteed maximum price for Bountiful High CTE project; one trustee recuses
Summary
Trustees approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $19,377,498 for the Bountiful High School CTE addition; a trustee recused from the vote out of caution due to a potential personal connection.
The Davis County School District Board on Jan. 21 approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $19,377,498 for the career and technical education (CTE) addition at Bountiful High School and authorized proceeding with construction under the previously selected general contractor.
Chief operating staff reported the project is part of the district’s 2022 bond program and that Hughes General Contractors submitted the GMP. The board voted to approve the GMP after a motion; one trustee, Miss Mercer, recused herself from the vote citing a potential distant personal connection that she wished to record for the public record.
Why it matters: the CTE building is a bond‑funded construction project intended to update technical education facilities at Bountiful High School. Approving the GMP allows the district to proceed with the construction contract under the stated maximum cost. Board members thanked nearby neighbors for their input on the project and noted ongoing communication as construction begins.
The motion to approve the GMP passed by voice vote with one recorded recusal; staff will proceed with contract administration and construction oversight.
