Chartiers Valley board approves consent agenda, clears $2.16 million in contractor payments
Summary
The Chartiers Valley School District board approved a broad consent agenda Jan. 24, including ratifying nearly $14 million in bills and authorizing $2,165,178.96 in payments to contractors for construction work; the motion passed with one abstention on a personnel item.
The Chartiers Valley School District Board of School Directors on Jan. 24 voted to approve a sweeping consent agenda that included large financial disbursements and multiple contractor payments tied to the district’s building program.
The motion to approve items 6.1 through 6.50 was moved by Mr. Eric Kraemer and seconded by Mr. Mark Kuczinski; the vote passed on a voice vote with Mrs. Patel abstaining on item 6.19. The board ratified bills totaling $13,954,347.42 and authorized payments to contractors and vendors for services rendered through December 2016 and January 2017.
Nicholas Morelli, the district’s director of finance, presented the bills and named several payments the board approved: Rycon Construction for $962,865.90; Mucci Construction for $567,813.60; Merit Electrical for $212,875.02; Enders Plumbing for $162,009.04; Lugaila Mechanical for $132,314.40; and several smaller vendor payments. The total payment due for the listed contractors was $2,165,178.96. The board also approved PlanCon Part I, which includes a cumulative list of change orders, and budgetary transfers totaling $625,074.00.
The district approved professional-service payments as well: an actuarial valuation proposal for OPEB compliance from Mockenhaupt Benefits Group ($7,200); testing and engineering services to PSI ($20,432); commissioning services to HF Lens Company ($19,665.60); architectural services to IKM ($67,686.92); and a payment to PJDick, the district construction manager, for $42,304.20 as presented by the construction manager and architect.
Board discussion preceding the vote included a Finance Committee recap from Mr. Kuczinski, who reported narrowing an owners’ representative search to two finalists and reviewing billing and cash-collection trends. There was no recorded roll-call tally for the consent vote beyond the noted abstention on item 6.19.
Next steps: the approved payments will be processed following the architect’s and construction manager’s confirmations and submission of required AIA documents, and the district will continue work on the construction schedule and owners’ representative selection process.
