Barker superintendent outlines $14 million CIP timeline and imminent change orders
Summary
Superintendent Jacob L. Reimer said a $14 million 2025 Capital Improvement Project process will begin in about four weeks, with space turnarounds starting in March and construction noise expected April–September; he said a roughly $30,000 boiler change order will be presented next month.
Superintendent Jacob L. Reimer updated trustees on ongoing and upcoming capital work, including a new $14 million capital improvement project whose design phase will begin in about four weeks.
Reimer said some spaces will be turned over beginning in March to allow work to proceed and that technology‑area work is scheduled to start in April; he warned trustees that "there will be construction noise from April to September, but everyone is trying to minimize the times when the students are on campus." He also told the board that boiler compatibility issues will likely generate a change order of approximately $30,000 that will be presented for board approval next month because it exceeds the district’s $10,000 policy threshold.
Architectural and instructional‑space design work will be led by staff including Mr. Cornwell. The board did not vote on project authorization at this meeting but was briefed on the timeline, change‑order exposure and sequencing of work intended to limit student disruption.
