Business manager reports $37,624 in construction savings on current project
Summary
Chester ISD's business manager reported line-item changes in a construction financial report, noting $37,624 in net savings after reallocating contingency and removing some items such as window blinds.
Austin, the district's business manager, reviewed the construction financial report and the check payments list, calling attention to line-item adjustments that improved the contract balance. He said the board could see about "$37,624 over there in that 182 line for all those line item savings."
Austin explained the budget changes included removing planned window blinds and reallocating funds back into the project's contingency and initial costs. He also flagged an expected expense for disposal that had been estimated at about $20,000 and noted he adjusted the bottom balance so members could see remaining contract balances more accurately. The board asked for continued monitoring, with one member commenting to "wait till you have the 1st big rain" to assess drainage work.
