Rialto board approves multiple construction change orders, contract adjustments and notices of completion
Summary
Trustees approved several deductive change orders and accepted completed work on multiple high‑school projects, authorized notices of completion and approved a small settlement related to a construction dispute; several contract amounts and returned funds were recorded.
At its Oct. 24 meeting the Rialto Unified Board approved a batch of consent items that included multiple construction change orders, contract adjustments and notices of completion for projects at several high‑school sites.
Staff presented F‑series items asking the board to approve deductive change orders and accept completed work for contractors identified in the agenda: FAR Builders (FAR Electric Incorporated), Hamel Concrete, Premier West Landscape and others. For one project staff described a deductive change (return of unused funds) and revised contract totals; for another the board authorized the district to file notices of completion with the San Bernardino County registrar.
The board also approved a settlement agreement with Run Enterprises to resolve a contractor claim; staff said the recommended payment was $45,000 to be paid from construction and capital facilities funds. Trustees voted in favor of the consent items by recorded roll calls where noted.
Specific contract adjustments recorded in the public transcript included revised contract amounts and change‑order figures for several projects (numerical values in the transcript are partially redacted or unclear in places). Staff emphasized that approving the deductions and filing notices of completion permits the district to close out those projects and return unused funds to bond or construction accounts where appropriate.
Trustees recorded votes for each consent item and asked staff to ensure future trip items list chaperone names for clarity on student supervision; next regular board meeting was set for Nov. 12, 2025.
