Board approves pay applications and several change orders for new campus work
Summary
The board accepted pay applications totaling $1,648,778.92 for monthly construction work and approved multiple change orders (including small finish items and a $37,500 sprinkler vault overhaul) drawn from project contingency as the district approaches punch‑list and closeout stages.
Project staff presented a construction progress update for the Spencer Elementary/Spencer Middle campus and asked the board to accept pay applications and several change orders.
Staff reported the monthly pay applications totaled $1,648,778.92 and described ongoing punch-list activities across the campus. The team said they expect to have a clearer schedule picture by July 1 and still anticipate possession by Aug. 1, though they warned several finish items remain.
The board reviewed and approved multiple change orders: a small interior countertop upgrade ($3,392.50), a media-center flooring and furniture package (amount noted in the packet but unclear in the transcript), epoxy concrete work in the middle school auditorium to repair pockmarks from removed seating (about $17,100), and a recommended sprinkler vault overhaul to repipe valves at a quoted cost of $37,500 to cover both schools. Staff noted the change orders will be charged to project contingency, which was reported as having approximately $692,359.70 remaining.
Contractors completing demo work generated some savings (a deduction of $9,600 on auditorium demo work was cited). The board moved to accept the listed pay applications and approve the change orders as presented.
Next steps: staff will continue monthly pay applications, pursue BG1/BG4/BG5 closeout documentation, and report schedule changes or cost impacts to the board as punch-list items are completed.
