Summary
Administrators detailed multiple high‑school renovation change orders and equipment swaps to be voted next week, including plumbing and masonry work and stadium adjustments totaling listed change-order amounts (e.g., $26,103.33; $5,020; $34,488.88; ~ $12,900).
The board received a detailed update on the multi‑year Cedar Crest High School renovation project and a list of change orders that administration will present for ratification at the next meeting. Missus Hentz described a series of items that include added double railings at steps (code compliance), security film for a classroom display case, masonry infills where sinks were removed, additional masonry to meet connections to steel beams, and plumbing contractor charges including a $26,103.33 item and a $5,020 pending change for missing mixing valves at eyewash stations.
Hentz also listed food‑service equipment changes (a contractor identified as '11400' and equipment swaps, including an extra pizza oven) and several stadium items. For the stadium, she noted a ratification for a $2,400 access‑panel adjustment and a combined change order (no. 5) that includes removal and replacement of the field‑house logo and additional paving behind bleachers with a total of $34,488.88, plus a plumbing addition to add a shower at the coach’s office of roughly $12,900.
The renovation work remains in early phases for some areas: phase 1 classrooms and the library are complete, while phase 2 works include band room demolition and the science wing near the Falcon Connector. Administration said engineers and the architect will review remaining items and answer detailed construction questions as the board vets the change orders next week.
