Board approves second guaranteed‑maximum price for Troy Gilbert Elementary; early site work to begin
Summary
The governing board authorized Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) No. 2 for Troy Gilbert Elementary to begin early construction activities, including temporary fencing, site clearing and ordering long‑lead items; the district expects to present a third GMP at the next meeting.
The Litchfield Elementary School District Governing Board approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) No. 2 with Core Construction for Troy Gilbert Elementary School, allowing the district to begin early construction activities such as temporary fencing, site clearing and procurement of long‑lead items.
CFO Vaughn told the board that the first GMP had enabled ordering of long‑lead materials and that GMP No. 2 covers temporary fencing and additional preparatory work in advance of full construction. The district said it expects to bring a third, likely final, GMP at the next board meeting.
Why it matters: The approved GMP permits early site work that helps keep the construction schedule on track for the new elementary school. Early procurement of long‑lead items was described as necessary to avoid schedule delays.
Action and vote: Mr. Mikes moved to approve Guaranteed Maximum Price No. 2 with Core Construction and authorized the CFO to execute the contract agreements; Mr. Owens seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
What’s next: Administration will proceed with the early site work and prepare the third GMP for board consideration at the next meeting. The district described the vote as an important step toward ground‑breaking and construction phasing for the new school.
