Summary
The board awarded construction contracts for Aspen Creek and Creekwood classroom additions to Miller Tippens Construction (Aspen Creek GMP $3,177,148.20, funded by bond funds) and approved Change Order No. 1 at Rosewood that reduced the contract by $262,454.38.
The Broken Arrow Board of Education approved multiple construction actions: awarding contracts for Aspen Creek and Creekwood elementary additions to Miller Tippens Construction and approving a change order on the Rosewood Elementary project that resulted in a net decrease of $262,454.38.
Director of construction services (presenter Leach) told the board that the Aspen Creek amendment sets a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $3,177,148.20 and that all bidding had been conducted pursuant to the Public Competitive Bidding Act. "All bidding was conducted pursuant to the Public Competitive Bidding Act, and the project will be paid for with bond funds," Leach said when describing the contracts. The board approved the Aspen Creek award by roll call.
Leach recommended the similar Creekwood classroom addition and noted the district is adding five classrooms to each school under the bond program; the board approved that award as well. Leach then presented Change Order No. 1 for Miller Tippens' Rosewood contract, which returned unused contingency and allowances and produced a net contract decrease of $262,454.38; the board approved the change order by roll call.
Board discussion included confirmation that the projects are funded by bond funds and that the competitive-bid process was followed. The actions were routine contract awards and an approved contract decrease; no litigation or protest was recorded in the meeting minutes.
