Committee approves bundled change orders, early electrical GMPs and moves to award construction manager

The building committee approved a series of project change orders (PCOs) across Stanton, Greenville and Stan projects, approved early electrical Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) packages for two schools, and—after a closed executive session—moved to award a construction-manager contract to O&G Construction.

Consent and PCO approvals: The chair moved and the committee approved a bundled batch of PCOs for Stanton (including PCO 16, PCR/PR line items, credits and contingency-funded items). Staff explained which line items are drawn from GMP allowances and which are charged to the construction contingency; examples discussed included a $27,465.90 credit for additional pre-blast surveys (PCO 16) and a revised fencing cost (noted in the discussion as $65,094 following negotiation). Committee members requested and the chair agreed to circulate a full breakdown of allowance usage and contingency balances after the meeting.

GMP approvals: The committee considered and approved two separate early-electrical GMPs presented as phase-1 procurement packages. The staff summary described exhibit A-1 cost breakdowns (trade contract amounts, a $20,000 allowance for potential changes, general conditions, a 2.5% contingency, bonds/insurance and fee). The office/elementary package GMP was stated in the briefing as $492,137 for the office package (presented as a phase-1 GMP figure); the Moriarty GMP figure was presented separately in the backup exhibit.

Award of construction-manager contract: After entering executive session to discuss selection criteria for the construction manager, the committee returned to public session and a motion was made to award a contract to O&G Construction. The recorded outcome in the transcript shows eight affirmatives and one abstention (one committee member was not responding when votes were recorded). The chair confirmed the motion carried.
