Contractor reports Lavec project near closeout; high school renovation about 80% complete
Summary
Ross Tarrant construction representatives reported the Lavec (Chanel) project is in closeout with punch-list work remaining, and the high school renovation is about 80% complete with major gym work slated to begin in March.
Pax Walker, representing the construction team, updated the Bath County Board of Education on Dec. 16 that the Lavec (Chanel) building project is in closeout and that punch-list items remain. Walker said a change-order proposal (PR 23) related to that project was on the agenda for consideration.
On the high school renovation, Walker said the project was about 80% complete. Work was occurring in Phase 6 classrooms and Phase 7 adjacent to the auditorium; Phase 9, the gymnasium portion, is a larger phase expected to start in March and finish toward May, with final wrap-up in early July if no unforeseen issues occur.
Why it matters: The update sets expectations and schedules for construction phases affecting school operations and extracurricular spaces. Walker noted the schedule could shift by a week or so depending on site conditions and team sequencing.
Questions and staffing: Walker said he, Jonathan (architect) and Kyler Barton (site superintendent) were available to answer detailed project questions. Board members thanked contractors for work and acknowledged that renovations and change orders can arise when uncovering older construction conditions.
Ending: The contractor closed by inviting questions and noting readiness to proceed; the board moved next to a change-order proposal tied to the Lavec project.
