Committee approves Change Order 16 to add medical call buttons, cameras, guardrail and electrified door hardware
The Bridal School Building Committee on Jan. 13 approved Change Order 16, which staff said included several project change orders (PCOs) to address owner requests and coordination corrections.

Staff described four PCOs included in the change order: PCO 8122 (PR 58) to add four medical call buttons at locations such as the band room and choral room and to add owner‑provided cameras to monitor rooms storing medical supplies; PCO 8129 (PR 64) to reconcile paperwork tied to deletion of a fire‑alarm master box that had been excluded when the project changed fire‑alarm manufacturers; PCO 8125 (PR 57) to install a timber guardrail along the north parking lot adjacent to a retaining wall between the parking lot and tennis courts (staff said the timber guardrail will replace temporary jersey barriers); and PCO 8158 (PR 5522) to add electrified door hardware at two doors where documents had been inconsistent across disciplines.

Staff presented a subtotal for these items in the meeting materials (the presentation lists $52,635 as the total from those PCOs). When a committee member moved to approve the change order the motion was recorded as "Change Order number 16 for $52,141" during the motion reading; the committee approved the motion by unanimous roll‑call. The transcript shows the two different totals as read at different points in the meeting and no on‑the‑record correction was made during the Jan. 13 session.

Committee members recorded voting yes included Matt Lane, Paul Riccati, Jason Adams, Bob Donnelly, Tim Luff, Theresa Stewart, Tony Mazzuco, Dave Hiltz, Margo Frasick, Gary Palatier and the chairman. No members recorded opposition or abstention.

Staff said the timber guardrail replaces temporary jersey barriers and that the added electrified hardware had been coordinated but missed on one set of documents; staff also noted the medical‑button and camera work is intended for safety and monitoring of medication storage.

The committee asked a few clarifying questions about timing of panel installation and auditorium ceiling maintenance earlier in the meeting; those topics were addressed by staff separate from the change‑order vote.
