Board approves $100,000-plus change order to replace chain-link with steel fencing at Jefferson Elementary
Summary
The board approved a change order for Jefferson Elementary's fencing project after staff said a portion of the staff parking lot was planned for steel fencing rather than the chain-link included in the funded proposal; the cost increase exceeds $100,000 and required board approval.
The Redondo Beach Unified School District board on Oct. 14 approved a change order for the Jefferson Elementary fencing project after staff reported a discrepancy between the job-walk plans and the final funded proposal.
"There was a portion on the back in the parking lot… that's chain link fenced that in our job walk and in our discussions and the principal's understanding was going to be with the more steel fencing," Dr. Albert explained. He said the change to steel fencing for the staff parking area raises the project cost to more than $100,000, so the board’s separate approval was required.
Board members moved, seconded and approved the change order by voice vote; the meeting record shows the motion passed though a roll-call tally was not read into the transcript.
Why it matters: The contractor change raises the project’s cost and will affect the capital-construction budget for Jefferson Elementary. The board approved the change order to align scope with the principal’s expectations and site conditions.
What happened next: The motion passed and staff will proceed with the revised scope using steel fencing as described by project staff.
