Summary

District staff reported weather and material delays on the locker-room and campus construction, but said overall finances remain "pretty much right at breaking even" while contingency lines remain largely reserved.

District staff updated the board on field observations and construction finances, noting weather and material-supply interruptions that paused certain tasks and required rework of the membrane and materials orders.

Committee member (S3) said the project is "pretty much right at breaking even" but added that most contingency funds are already committed: "That hardware allowance is spoken for and the graphics allowance is spoken for," and that the CF contingency and testing line remain the areas to watch. S3 also described planned site work and that the district expects to obtain a credit for certain landscaping work.

Board members discussed delays caused by weather and material lead times and clarified that some items required redraws and reorders that set back progress. Staff invited questions for the project representative (Austin) and concluded the presentation by moving to the next agenda items.
