Board told of rot at West Intermediate; superintendent to bring change order request to replace windows
Summary
A board member reported water intrusion and rot in a newly constructed classroom at West Intermediate and said staff will present a change order to replace windows and finish work; the windows were not part of the original RACP scope, and staff flagged multiple project scope versions during planning.
A board member described water intrusion and rot found in a newly constructed classroom at West Intermediate and said the district will bring a change order to replace windows rather than leave the building unfinished. The replacement was not included in the RACP project scope approved earlier, but board members said multiple versions of the renovation plan had been considered and that limited funds had excluded some items.
The member who raised the issue said the rain leaked through the ceiling of an autistic support classroom and that rot appeared to have accumulated over time. Another board member and staff said they believed the issue had been raised previously in planning discussions but that the damage seen warranted immediate attention.
Staff said the change order will include the cost and supporting memo and that the solicitor will review legal aspects before action. No formal vote was recorded in the work session; a recommendation and related memorandum will be placed on a future agenda for board consideration.
