Contract review board approves $212,275 change order for Robinson Construction

The Lake Oswego School District 7J contract review board voted to approve a $212,275 change order for Robinson Construction, the board chair announced at the meeting's opening. The board approved the change order by voice vote after staff described the work and the total cost.

District staff described the change order as covering a series of adjustments discovered during recent summer construction work, including over‑excavation on site work, framing changes, landscaping and fencing revisions, and added lighting and communications circuits. “This change order is a result of numerous smaller, some larger changes throughout past couple of months that we've encountered throughout, summer construction,” a district staff member said, adding that the total requested is $212,275.

Director Wallen moved to authorize the clerk or deputy clerk to approve the change order; Director Bills seconded the motion. The board voted by voice; the chair called for ayes and then announced the motion carried. No opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The board concluded the contract review board portion of the meeting and moved immediately into the regular school board session. The contract change order was taken up at the meeting's start and finalized before the regular session began.

The transcript does not specify an ordinance, contract number, or the precise school site name beyond the project reference presented by staff. The change order amount, the mover and seconder of the motion, and the board's approval are recorded in the meeting minutes and transcript.
