Board approves $345,400 change order for A&M Consolidated High School roof; $145,576 credit will be applied later
Summary
Trustees approved a $345,400 change order to replace an omitted portion of the A&M Consolidated High School roof; district staff said a $145,576 credit will be applied later, and the contractor is responsible for electrical distribution work in the affected area.
The College Station ISD board approved a change order Aug. 7 to cover additional roof work at A&M Consolidated High School after project managers identified a small section excluded from the original bid.
District construction staff said the roof project is approximately 90% through tear‑off work and that a portion of the roof – described as a pool‑type area with chilled‑water lines, hot‑water lines and one main electrical distribution panel – had been intentionally left out of the original project scope to avoid delaying the overall schedule. The district determined the electrical distribution equipment must be raised to meet code, and the contractor provided a targeted change‑order price to complete that area.
The roofing contractor’s change order for the omitted section is $345,400, and the board voted 7‑0 to approve the additional work. Project staff later clarified there is a $145,576 contractual credit the district will receive; the credit will be assigned on the back end of the contract rather than deducted before the contract was executed. Project management said the credit was included in the GMP discussion but will be applied later in the project accounting.
District staff said the goal remains to complete the noisy, disruptive tear‑off work before the first day of school, and that skylight installation and remaining roofing activity will continue out of the main student schedule.
Ending: The change order was approved; staff will continue to track project costs and report credit and final GMP accounting to the board as the project closes out.
