Summary
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price contract with Children's Construction Company for Phase 2 work at Griffin Middle School, including a new gymnasium and demolition of Buildings 9 and 10; staff praised contractor performance and discussed schedule factors.
Leon County School Board members voted unanimously to approve a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract with Children’s Construction Company for Phase 2 work at Griffin Middle School, which covers construction of a new gymnasium and demolition of Buildings 9 and 10 under RFQ248-2024.
Board members and staff praised the contractor’s work on Phase 1 and commended the project team for work that has come close to or under budget. Trustees noted schedule pressure due to weather and workforce factors; staff said they prefer work to be done correctly rather than rushed and acknowledged an extension had been granted earlier because of weather-related delays.
The board approved the contract and expressed appreciation for staff and contractor efforts. No specific GMP dollar amount was provided in the meeting record presented to the board at the time of the vote.
