Board chair moves to approve $2.67 million guaranteed maximum price for Corsicana high school project
Summary
The Corsicana Board of Trustees heard details of a summer renovation and demolition at the high school and recorded a motion to approve a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $2,671,075; the transcript shows a motion and second but no recorded vote.
The Corsicana Board of Trustees on May 18 heard a presentation about planned summer demolition and renovation work at the high school and the board’s chair moved to approve a guaranteed maximum price of $2,671,075 and to authorize the superintendent to execute related documents.
During a detailed presentation, the project representative said the work is "more than just a demo," involving 17 different trades including concrete, masonry, interior wall installation, painting, plumbing, HVAC and electrical work. The presenter described interior classroom demolition, door and lighting removals, roof repairs and installation of two sets of emergency stairs.
The presenter said the project will include a subsurface utility engineering investigation using ground-penetrating radar to locate buried utilities and prevent accidental strikes. He told the board that an existing utility line had been found four feet from its recorded location and warned that damaging a live electrical line could force the school to shut down for several days.
Site logistics described for the work include a secured material storage and staging area, fenced construction zones around CTE work areas, parking for construction staff and a portable building for the construction team. The presenter said temporary classrooms had been inspected for insulation, quiet and air conditioning and that staff would recheck conditions before student use.
After reviewing costs, the board's chair said the original price was about $2.9 million and then stated, "I move that we approve the guaranteed maximum price in the amount of $2,671,075 and authorize the superintendent to execute all necessary documents related to the project." A second was recorded and the chair announced the motion and second were on the record; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote or final outcome.
The board heard the project scope, safety precautions and site plans and entered the GMP motion into the record; the next procedural step recorded in the transcript is the motion and second, with no vote documented in the provided transcript.
