Athletic‑field project runs about 2.25% over contract after regulated‑soil change order, facilities committee says
Summary
The district’s facilities committee reported a change order related to regulated soil removal that increased costs for the athletic‑field project; the committee also approved a net‑zero change order on a new elementary school vestibule and discussed closing out earlier capital projects.
The Tredyffrin‑Easttown facilities committee reported a change order for the athletic‑field project that increased costs because regulated soil had to be removed and placed above the water table at a different facility, leaving the project about 2.25% over its contract amount.
Facilities committee chair Dr. Robert Singh said the regulated soil required special handling and transport to a different facility, which led to the increase reflected in the approved change order. The committee also approved a second change order on the new elementary school that deducted glazing and removed a wood door; that item resulted in a net‑zero change to the contract amount.
Committee members briefly discussed capital sources and uses and closing out prior projects including Conestoga expansion and network upgrades. The facilities committee’s next meeting is scheduled for March 11.
