Summary

The board approved an interlocal right-of-way conveyance and traffic-signal installation for Southwest 80th Avenue (resolution 25-17) and accepted a GMP to build a radiology lab at Marion Technical College, with contractor work and associated change orders described at the meeting.

The Marion County School Board on Feb. 24 approved multiple capital and construction items, including an interlocal agreement to convey right-of-way and preemptively install a traffic signal for the Southwest 80th Avenue segment 1b project and adopted resolution 25-17 declaring certain property unnecessary for educational purposes.

Interim Superintendent Dr. Danielle Brewer introduced county engineering staff in the meeting, and the county transportation engineer and county engineer answered questions about the project. The board moved and approved the interlocal agreement and resolution by voice vote, 5-0.

The board also approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) from Scorpio Contracting for remodel work to create a live radiology lab at Marion Technical College (project 25-109). Gary Smallridge, director at Marion Technical College, described the GMP as "just a tad under $400,000" to install lead-lined walls, doors and windows for the new lab, and noted a pending April 15 state board review to authorize an AS in radiography degree that would be supported by the facility. The board approved the GMP by voice vote.

Board policy and prior contract-change discussion were summarized earlier in the meeting. The agenda described other change orders and deductive change orders returning unused GMP funds to the owner; the superintendent or designee had approved them consistent with board policy and would report them at the next board meeting.

Next steps: The interlocal agreement proceeds with county coordination on right-of-way and signal installation. Marion Technical College will proceed with the GMP scope and seek state approval for the academic program in April.
