Hanville High cafeteria approved for use after minor fire‑marshal change order
Summary
Administrators said a small change order — adding three fire‑safety devices per the state fire marshal — was required on the Hanville High cafeteria expansion; the project was fast‑tracked, the district ratified substantial completion and the space was placed into service after insurance and safety checks.
Project staff reported a change order for the Hanville High cafeteria expansion to furnish and install three items required by the state fire marshal near newly installed firewalls. The capital‑projects team told the committee the change arose after a post‑bid fire‑marshal review and that deductive change orders earlier in the project had reduced the overall net change; the current change still falls within typical change‑order benchmarks.
"You see before you a very small change order. It's to furnish and install 3 pool stations as per state fire marshal, associated with the cafeteria renovation expansion in Hornville," the project manager said, noting the devices were not on original plans but were required after inspection. The board’s capital‑improvements subcommittee reviewed and ratified substantial completion so the cafeteria could be used to serve students while final paperwork moved forward. Project leads said overall change‑order totals remain near industry standards (roughly 3–5%).
