Committee weighs cost, change-order risk and schedule; recommends January decision
Summary
Members discussed GRP's budgetary numbers, change-order risk and whether to stage repairs; staff recommended the committee make a January recommendation to the full board rather than a rushed December vote.
Committee members pressed GRP and staff on pricing, possible change orders, and work schedule. Scott said GRP's figures were budgetary but based on contractor walk-throughs and that contractors could perform the work during the summer; a committee member emphasized concern that opening walls or ceilings could reveal additional damage and trigger costly change orders.
Staff recommended against a rushed December board vote and told the committee, "I would say this is gonna be a January decision by this board." Committee members discussed staging work (A–C now, D/E later) versus doing larger tuckpointing projects across buildings in a later budget cycle. Staff flagged other upcoming capital needs — boilers and a junior-high roof — as constraints on available funds.
