Clear Creek Amana board approves $165,748.73 payout to Knutson amid unresolved punch‑list questions
Summary
The Clear Creek Amana board approved payout No. 13 of $165,748.73 to Knutson Construction for the Baseball/Softball Complex Phase 1 but asked staff to clarify outstanding punch‑list items and holdbacks before mailing the final check.
The Clear Creek Amana Community School District board voted to approve payout number 13 to Knutson Construction, authorizing $165,748.73 for work on the district’s Baseball/Softball Complex Phase 1 while asking staff to verify unresolved punch‑list items and reimbursement commitments.
Board members raised concerns that not all punch‑list items have been completed and that the district is holding approximately $18,000 in retainage pending resolution. One board member said, "There's $18,000 we're holding back on that," expressing hesitation about releasing funds without confirmation of reimbursement for district work on irrigation and resodding.
Operations staff and project lead Mr. Davidson said they have been following up with the contractor and will get clarification from Maureen on outstanding items and any agreed reimbursements before the district mails the final board check. The board emphasized administrative flexibility: finance staff noted the district can approve the payout while withholding mailing of the check pending resolution within the 30‑day payment window.
The board approved the motion by voice vote. Members agreed to receive an update at the next work session or via a special meeting if needed so remaining issues can be documented before final payment processing.
