Board approves $19.6 million guaranteed maximum price for new elementary school
Summary
Jackson Construction presented a Guaranteed Maximum Price of $19,603,856 for the new elementary building; asbestos abatement and commissioning costs total an additional $235,000, bringing construction‑phase costs to $19,838,856. The board approved the GMP unanimously.
Bryan Parma, Vice President of Pre‑Construction for Jackson Construction, presented the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and recommended approval: "the Guaranteed Maximum Price from Jackson Construction is recommended for approval of $19,603,856." He explained that the GMP covers construction (the first 33 line items align with the Construction Specification Index) and includes contingencies; it excludes architect fees, furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Parma and Superintendent Lawrence Coleman noted third‑party costs for asbestos abatement and commissioning totaling $235,000 that are outside the GMP line; when included the construction‑phase total shown was $19,838,856. Board members asked about on‑site management, progress reporting and documentation; Parma said Jackson would have at least one construction manager on site, provide monthly reports and documentation certified by Harris Craig Architects before payments are released. Matt Eastwood moved to accept the GMP; Iris Hammontree seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
