Middle school construction comes in under GMP; board told roughly $700,000 could be reallocated
Summary
Kolsch Group told the board the middle school design‑build GMP came in at about $5,480,130 (below the $6.2M not‑to‑exceed cap), enabling funds to be reallocated to other bond projects while staff cautioned plumbing and electrical scopes may offset some savings.
Kolsch Group reported that the district’s public bid for the middle school design‑build work returned a guaranteed maximum price below the not‑to‑exceed cap. "Our GMP number is 5,480,130," the Kolsch presenter said, and the contract with the design‑build partner SB James was written with a $6,200,000 not‑to‑exceed ceiling.
Board members asked how much could be reallocated from the savings; staff estimated roughly $700,000 but warned that electrical and plumbing scopes are trending higher and could reduce net savings. The presenter said the middle school construction is on schedule with exterior sheathing and roofing underway and that elementary vestibule work is permitted and partially underway.
