Board authorizes superintendent to sign guaranteed maximum price contracts for two school renovations
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent or designee to approve and execute GMP contract amendments for Rocky Mountain Middle School (GMP cited at $7,284,420.62) and Ammon Honors Academy (estimated ~$4.5 million plus fees) provided final bids come in at or below the presented guaranteed maximum prices.
The BONNEVILLE JOINT DISTRICT board authorized the superintendent or a designee to approve and execute guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract amendments with Headwaters Construction for two renovation projects, provided the final GMPs do not exceed the amounts discussed at the meeting.
Staff presented a condensed 10‑year facilities plan and proposed completing Rocky Mountain Middle School mechanical and finish upgrades and work at Ammon Honors Academy in a roughly 15‑month schedule. For Rocky Mountain, staff discussed a construction cost figure summarized in the meeting as $7,284,462 and, during the motion, a board member cited a GMP figure of $7,284,420.62 to set the contingency threshold. For Ammon Honors Academy, staff described an estimate of about $4.5 million for construction with roughly $530,000 in architect and engineering fees, creating a total project estimate near $5.1 million.
A board member moved that the board authorize the superintendent or designee to approve and execute the contract and/or GMP amendment for the Rocky Mountain project provided the contract is within the guaranteed maximum price; the motion passed by voice vote. The board approved a parallel motion for the Ammon project and the motions carried.
Board members discussed funding sources in the existing 10‑year plan and noted available bond funds for roofs could help cover shortfalls if final bids exceed estimates. Staff said final GMPs will be brought forward and that the superintendent or designee may sign if the GMPs conform to the authorized limits.
