District may hold special meeting next Friday to approve GMP for Buckeye addition
Summary
Staff told the committee the Buckeye addition project is approaching a critical point and a special board meeting is likely next Friday, the 29th at 7:30 a.m., to approve a guaranteed maximum price so contractors can sell bonds and keep the schedule for a 2027 opening.
District maintenance staff told the Buildings and Grounds Committee that the Buckeye addition construction is approaching a milestone requiring board approval of a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). Staff said they are likely to request a special meeting next Friday (the 29th) at 7:30 a.m. to approve the GMP so contractors can proceed with bond sales and maintain the project timeline.
"It would probably have to be not this Friday, but next Friday...so they can sell the bonds," a staff member said. The staff member indicated the goal remains opening the addition in time for the 2027 school year, with some classrooms used temporarily while crews renovate the older building.
Committee members asked how quickly contractors would need to be engaged; staff said the team expects some summer work and an accelerated schedule, and that a special meeting on the 29th would allow necessary approvals in time for bond sales prior to the fiscal year. No formal motion or vote to schedule the special meeting was recorded during the Buildings and Grounds update.
The board asked staff to notify members of the potential special meeting and to provide GMP documents in advance so members can review redlines and final numbers before any vote.
