Board approves Fitch Mountain construction contracts including $4.8M GMP and FieldTurf pitch
Summary
Trustees approved a final GMP of $4.8 million for the Fitch Mountain field replacement project (bond funds + deferred maintenance) and related contracts: FieldTurf proposal ~$482,000 and two FRC contracts (~$738,000 and $912,000) for landscape and kinder‑wing restroom/hallway improvements; votes were recorded as unanimous.
The board approved a series of construction-related contracts for work at Fitch Mountain and other campuses. Staff reported the final guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the Fitch Mountain field replacement project is $4,800,000 with $4 million from bond funds and $800,000 from deferred maintenance; the board approved the GMP amendment by voice vote.
Related contract items included a FieldTurf USA proposal for approximately $482,000 for turf installation, a $738,000 notice of award for monument and landscape enhancements (scheduled to finish by August 3), and a $912,000 notice of award for restroom and hallway upgrades in the kindergarten wing (higher than expected due to overtime and timeline constraints). Project staff noted some bids required overtime to meet the aggressive schedule before the start of school.
Board members moved and seconded the contract approvals and recorded unanimous votes for the GMP and subsequent construction items. Project timelines and funding sources were presented (measure/bond funds and deferred maintenance); staff said projects are scheduled to complete before the next school year where feasible.
