Summary

Board approved a contract amendment for Franklin Elementary site and early education classroom work: amendment $28,745,836, total contract $31,947,083; award contingent on DSA structural approval; temporary field costs (~$497,000) not included yet; $950,000 included as allowance for final play field.

The board approved a major contract amendment for Franklin Elementary’s early‑education classroom and site improvements.

Steve Maffetti told the board the amendment award is $28,745,836, which brings the total contract to $31,947,083. He said the award is contingent on Division of the State Architect (DSA) structural approval — staff has received accessibility and fire/life safety approvals and expects structural approval in mid‑July. "We anticipate getting that in mid July," Maffetti said.

Maffetti also noted a temporary field installation directed by the board (approximately $497,000) was not included in the submitted amendment because of timing; the amendment does include a $950,000 allowance for the final play field (the district has not yet decided whether that will be grass or artificial turf). The board approved the amendment after a motion and roll call vote.
