Board hears value-engineering example that saved roughly $20,000
Summary
Staff demonstrated the project's value-engineering process with an example that trimmed lock counts in cabinetry, saving about $20,000 while preserving secure teacher storage; the district is using a rubric to score trade-offs across cost, durability and maintenance.
Staff presented a value-engineering (VE) process the project team used to refine scope and reach the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Using a scoring 'report card' that rated cost, design intent, maintenance and risk, staff said the team recommended reducing the number of keyed locks in cabinetry to save money while retaining a locked tall cabinet for teacher valuables.
Staff said the example produced an average score equivalent to an A and that the "savings amount was around 20,000 on this one," calling it a "no brainer" to recommend approval. The team also is reviewing other VE items including CMU block adjustments and mechanical-screen items that can be added later if desired.
