Board approves $478,001 in bond change orders and awards CMR contracts for Bissett and Bingham
Summary
The board approved bond project change orders totaling $478,001.28 and selected construction manager‑at‑risk firms for Bissett and Bingham elementary projects after staff described fees, warranties and estimated project costs.
The Springfield R‑XII Board approved change orders and selected construction managers for two 2023 bond projects during the meeting.
Operations director Sean Dilday presented change orders and agreements for the 2023 bond program, reporting a total change‑order amount of $478,001.28 and asking the board to approve the expenditures. The board approved the change orders by unanimous vote.
Staff then presented construction manager at risk (CMR) recommendations. For Bissett Elementary, the board approved Crossland Construction as CMR. Staff described components of the fee structure including a preconstruction fee, general conditions spread across an estimated 14‑month schedule, and a construction management fee (examples cited at approximately 2.15% in one proposal). Board members asked about warranty terms (one‑year warranty on the building) and the presence of liquidated‑damage provisions in the contracts; staff confirmed liquidated damages would be included where appropriate.
For Bingham Elementary, the evaluation produced a recommendation to move forward with Nabholz (also transcribed earlier as Navajo in discussion), with a reported estimated project cost of roughly $27.8 million. Board members asked why preconstruction fees and percent fees differed between proposals; staff explained selection weighted cost (40%) and qualifications (60%). Both CMR selections were approved by the board.
