Board hears update on roofs, bleachers and an expected change order tied to stadium work
Summary
Facilities reports covered roof repairs at Dana Street, bleacher removals and grading at Bluestone, a middle-school elevator project due in late June and an upcoming change order from contractor Bluestone tied to bid-spec issues with Apollo; the chair said expected credits from excavation stoppage should offset additional charges.
The buildings and grounds report covered multiple active projects: final roof patching at Dana Street, removal and grading at the Bluestone bleacher site, and an elevator project at the middle school slated to begin in late June. The chair said the new stadium scoreboard should be installed before graduation.
Board members discussed a forthcoming change order tied to work at the stadium. The chair said the original bid specs prepared by Apollo contained errors and that Bluestone bid on the work as specified. Because excavation was stopped, the chair said the district expects credits that should more than offset additional charges for the extra concrete and related work.
A board member asked about the quantity of concrete (about 19 cubic yards listed in the estimate) and whether local contractors had been solicited for some roof or hose-bib work; trustees requested additional price comparisons for certain items and agreed staff should return with documentation.
No vote was taken on construction items at the work session; staff said they will bring revised change-order paperwork and photos to the board when available so trustees can review credits and recommended next steps.
