Rockcastle County board approves RCHS athletic-complex construction documents and recommends Cordell Construction
Summary
At a special called meeting the Rockcastle County School Board approved final construction documents for the RCHS Rock Athletic Performance Complex, approved a revised BG-1 to include construction-manager fees, and recommended Cordell Construction as construction manager; vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
The Rockcastle County School Board approved final construction documents for the RCHS Rock Athletic Performance Complex and recommended Cordell Construction as the project’s construction manager during a special called meeting.
Presenters walked the board through 84 detailed construction drawings, life-safety and code information and updated renderings that show a navy exterior option. A presenter identified on the record as Becca asked the board to approve the documents and later recommended Cordell Construction for the construction-manager role, saying, “we would like to recommend that we would hire Cordell as a construction manager for the project. We've been real pleased with what they've done at the middle school and uh they've been a really good partner.” The board approved the construction documents and the recommendation; the transcript records the board saying “All in favor” but does not list individual vote tallies.
Staff also presented a revised BG-1 form for the project that adds construction-manager fees and other line items. The update was described as consolidating costs so the project total reflects the added fees; the board voted to approve the revised BG-1. The presenters noted the documents will proceed for required KDE review and approvals (KDE approval referenced in meeting discussion). The BG-1/project number was referenced in the presentation materials.
The board’s approvals clear the way for contracting steps on the RCHS athletic complex and finalize the construction drawings available to bidders and the construction team. The board did not provide a detailed budget breakout on the record at the meeting and the transcript does not contain formal vote tallies for the recorded approvals.
The board moved on to routine business following the approvals; next steps discussed were final conversations with the district and continued coordination with Cordell and Cordell’s design partners.
