Board accepts change orders to add auditorium work at Central High using available grant funds
Summary
The board accepted change orders to use previously accounted grant funds to add lighting, accessible seating and other work in Central High School’s auditorium; the change orders include a $56,000 construction management fee increase and $52,378 in general trades.
The McCreary County Board of Education approved change orders to expand work at Central High School’s auditorium, using previously allocated grant funds rather than new money.
Staff reported that while closing out documentation for the layback project they found funds previously coded for certain items; using those funds would allow work on auditorium lighting, additional accessible seating, some doors and wiring, and other items the project had not originally included.
The board was told the changes increase the construction manager fee by $56,000 and add $52,378 in general trades work. Staff emphasized these are not new funds but amounts remaining in the project’s budget that should be used or returned to the grantor.
A board member moved to accept the change orders so the work can begin; the motion was seconded and recorded. Board members noted the work would address the auditorium’s lighting, accessibility, and systems, and that planners had already completed necessary planning and were ready to proceed.
Staff were directed to implement the approved change orders and proceed with contracting within the scope of the available grant funds.
