Facilities update: architects, CG Schmidt plans and concerns about contingencies and timelines
Summary
Facilities staff provided a written update covering pool plans at Washington, CG Schmidt cost breakdowns, architect Abacus plan submissions and concerns about state review backlogs and budget contingencies; committee discussed bid dissemination and local contractor involvement.
Facilities staff presented a written update summarizing project plans, architect progress and cost estimates prepared by construction manager CG Schmidt.
The report noted plans for the Washington pool area and other scheduled projects; staff said the architect Abacus updated drawings and the district is seeking local approvals where possible to avoid state backlog. CG Schmidt provided conservative cost estimates; staff warned that supply-chain delays and state review could push timelines and create carryover into subsequent years.
Committee members asked how CG Schmidt will break projects into bid packages and how local contractors will be engaged. Facilities staff said bids would be issued based on workload and that local subcontractors could be suggested for CG Schmidt's bid packages, but CG Schmidt's numbers in the packet were CM estimates rather than local bids. Members raised concern about contingencies and the project "delta" in bottom-line estimates; staff said conservative estimates are intentional and historically contingencies can return closer to budget as projects proceed.
The committee ended the meeting with an adjournment motion.
