Board accepts $29,500 Franklin School roofing credit; OKs $46,286 change order for NBHS West
Summary
The board approved a $29,500 credit to the Franklin School emergency roofing contract after less wet insulation than expected was replaced, and authorized Change Order No. 048 for NBHS West renovations totaling $46,286.50 to be taken from project contingency.
Two contract actions were approved by the North Bergen Board of Education on Nov. 20 related to district capital projects.
Change Order No. 01 for Paino Roofing (Resolution No. 57) was approved after contractor inspections found only 4,100 square feet of wet insulation required removal and replacement rather than the 10,000 square feet estimated. The contractor issued a credit of $29,500, reducing the Franklin School emergency roof contract from $607,000 to $577,500. The board accepted the architect’s recommendation to approve the credit and update the contract total.
Separately, Resolution No. 83 approved Change Order No. 048 for ALNA Construction on the NBHS West Renovations and Additions project. The board authorized $46,286.50 in additional work to be funded from the project contingency (previously $453,939.32), covering items including tidal water bladder rental and monitoring, installation of additional duct insulation, time-and-material repair of an 18" HDPE pipe in the sports field, and construction of an elevator sump pit per manufacturer directions. The approved change reduces the contingency to $407,652.82 with no change to the contract base amount, per the resolution.
Both measures were approved by recorded vote; the resolutions state the work and credits were reviewed by the board architect and are consistent with the recommended contract adjustments. Documentation, change‑order forms and the revised contract totals are on file with the Board Secretary.
