Wilson SD approves $679,318.31 change order for Lincoln Park Elementary soil stabilization
Summary
After discussion of soft soils and contingency funding from bond proceeds, the board approved Change Order No. 2 with Lobar Inc. for parking‑lot soil stabilization at Lincoln Park Elementary, the largest single change order to date for the project's phase, funded from bond contingencies.
The Wilson School Board approved Change Order No. 2 for Lincoln Park Elementary School construction — a $679,318.31 soil‑stabilization package — after Superintendent Dr. Trickett described the need and funding source.
Dr. Trickett told the board the work addresses soft soils at the site and is necessary to prepare the parking lot; he said additional engineering and analysis reduced the scope to what is actually needed and that the work is covered by contingency funds from the district’s bond issuance. "This is the largest change order, to date that the board is considering. But it is necessary for us to move forward with the Lincoln Park project," he said.
Board action: following the presentation and brief discussion, the board approved the change order by roll call (6–0). Dr. Trickett characterized the item as the likely final soil‑stabilization change order for that project.
What this means: the change order finalizes site stabilization work required before paving the parking lot and is to be paid from previously authorized bond contingencies rather than the operating levy.
