Buckeye Valley board approves $16.13 million GMP amendment for middle‑school construction
Summary
The Buckeye Valley Local Board of Education approved GMP Amendment No. 1 to the CMR agreement with Summit, authorizing a $16,127,866 contract for the middle‑school construction project and delegating signatory authority to district leaders.
The Buckeye Valley Local Board of Education voted May 13 to approve GMP Amendment No. 1 to the CMR agreement with Summit, authorizing $16,127,866 for construction work on the district’s new middle school.
Anne, the owner’s representative from MCS & Associates, told the board the GMP includes contingency and subcontractor work and remains under the $20 million project budget: “It is for a total of $16,127,866, and it has all of their contingency in it,” she said. Anne added the package leaves roughly $550,000 under the project cap to cover change orders without returning to the board.
Why it matters: Approving the GMP commits the district to the core construction contract and allows administrators to execute documents that move the project from design into active construction. The board’s action also clarifies where contingency funding resides and reduces the need for frequent contract amendments.
Board action and details: The resolution filed by the board states that GMP Amendment No. 1 to the CMR agreement with Summit for the project is approved in the amount of $16,127,866 and authorizes the board president, superintendent and treasurer to execute the amendment and related documents. A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; the board took a roll‑call vote and recorded the motion as approved.
Context and budget: The owner’s representative reported a $20 million project budget and said the current GMP leaves a margin of approximately $550,000 below that amount, which the representative described as “excellent” given subcontractor pricing came in lower than anticipated. Board members asked clarifying questions about the budget package and work packages before voting.
What’s next: With the GMP approved the administration is authorized to sign the amendment and proceed with subcontractor coordination. The board did not identify any additional conditions in the meeting; any subsequent change orders or significant contract amendments would require further board review.
Votes at a glance: The board approved the GMP amendment by roll call (yes recorded in the public roll‑call).
