Board approves multi‑phase amendments for Malibu and Santa Monica high‑school projects
Summary
The board approved staged lease‑leaseback amendments for the Malibu middle/hub/gym/aquatic project and an amendment to advance PBL swing‑space work at Santa Monica High; staff said the amendments pave the way for future GMPs and further contractor pricing.
Chief Operations Officer Carrie Upton described two multi‑phase capital items before the board: an amendment (Amendment 3) for the Malibu middle‑school hub, gymnasium and aquatic center under CW Driver, and Amendment 4 for Santa Monica High (Erickson Hall Construction) to advance student services and PBL swing‑space work. Upton said the Malibu amendment continues demolition and site‑preparation work and that DSA approvals for later phases (hub/gym/pool) remain in process.
On Amendment 4 for Santa Monica High, Upton said the item would add approximately $5,000,000 to allow the contractor to proceed quickly on swing‑space for the PBL program so parts of it can open when school starts; she said the precise construction GMPs will return to the board later. Board members questioned contingency and budget placement; staff said the work fits within the project's overall budget and contingency planning. Both items passed on recorded votes.
