Board approves extra geotechnical work after middle‑school gym site changes
Summary
Crawford and Associates requested additional geotechnical services after project scope changed and the gym site moved; staff said added drilling cost about $3,500 plus $1,500 to revise the soils report, and the board approved the extra services.
The district presented a request for additional geotechnical services from Crawford and Associates tied to the new middle‑school gym project. Staff explained the district had originally contracted with a different firm for a remodel, but when the project shifted to a rebuild and the gym moved to a new location, additional drilling and sampling were required.
Staff said the vendor provided backup showing it incurred extra drilling costs and that the requested reimbursement included roughly $3,500 for drilling plus about $1,500 to revise the soils report to reflect the completed site work. The board moved to approve the additional service and voted to carry the item; members asked clarifying questions about direct costs and administrative fees and staff pointed to the vendor backup included in the packet.
