Bond program management staff told the Wiseburn Board that the SLC relocation project is making progress but has experienced significant schedule and technical setbacks. Staff said they issued a 48‑hour notice to the contractor after missed schedule commitments; the contractor responded by increasing manpower and providing updated schedules.

Separately, staff identified a major ramp grading error where the site grading resulted in a 12‑inch differential rather than the six‑inch drop shown on drawings. The architect acknowledged the error and the district is pursuing pricing for remediation; the contractor NexMod has agreed to provide a 12‑foot ramp extension and the board was told the fabrication/installation of that extension is under $7,000, while the total additional costs for regrading, fence post removal and other remedial work remain under negotiation. Staff warned a forthcoming change order will push cumulative change orders over the 10% contract threshold, prompting a required board resolution when the final amount is presented.

On the sports complex, staff reported 86% project completion, installation of dugouts and structural elements, delivery of synthetic turf scheduled for Dec. 18 and a targeted ribbon‑cutting on Feb. 28, contingent on weather. Staff also noted liquidated damages of $1,500 per day as a contractual tool to motivate contractor performance in critical path items. The board approved staff to continue contract oversight and to return with a formal change‑order resolution when the full cost of the ramp remediation is known.
