District officials report 40 outstanding items from ESIP/refendum walkthrough, contractor to begin corrective work
Summary
ESIP management reported closeout documents and final change orders are pending and that a July 2 walkthrough identified about 40 significant incomplete or warranty items across multiple sites; contractors were scheduled to begin addressing issues with a targeted 2–3 week turnaroud for many items.
ESIP management and facilities staff told the Buildings & Grounds committee that closeout paperwork has been submitted to district staff and that final credit change orders are in process, but that recent site walkthroughs uncovered a substantial set of remaining issues.
"We came up with ... a list of 40 very significant things that were not completed and that have to be completed," an ESIP management representative said, describing a July 2 multi‑site inspection that included High School South and two other locations. Staff said several items are warranty work and others require contractor remediation.
Construction staff (identified in the meeting as Max) said Newport will begin corrective work immediately and that the contractor hoped to turn around many items within two to three weeks. ESIP staff also noted outstanding miscellaneous work on districtwide security systems for which they are seeking contractor completion.
Facilities updates included in the report: alternate laboratory compliance forms for some elementary and early learning classrooms (submitted to the county office), delivery of ESY equipment to summer classrooms, parking‑lot sweeping, removal of ground‑mounted receptacles to eliminate trip hazards, and confirmation of compliance with the district IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program.
Board members asked for timelines and the facilities team said they would provide lists of outstanding items and expected turnaround; staff indicated they would follow up and monitor contractor progress before the start of the school year.
Next steps: Newport to begin corrective work, staff to compile outstanding‑item lists and monitor closeouts, and the district to process final payments and change orders after satisfactory completion.
