Board approves renovation change orders including $13,178 window framing upgrade
Summary
The board approved four change orders for the current renovation: a $2,000 deduction for fire-rated glass spec changes, a $13,178 increase to upgrade window framing, gas line rerouting, and removal of abandoned underground gas piping; the project remains on schedule and within budget.
The board reviewed four change orders for the district’s building renovation and approved them on a unanimous 4-0 vote (motion by Douglas P. Schwartz, second by Mr. Beck). The change orders included a $2,000 deduct related to modified fire-rated glass specifications and a $13,178 increase to upgrade window framing from 4-inch to 6-inch aluminum frames to address field conditions and improve energy efficiency. Additional work covered gas line rerouting to relocate an exposed line and removal of abandoned gas piping in underground tunnels, with costs shared between the district and contractor.
Administration told the board the renovation project remains on schedule and within budget and that sufficient contingency funds are available to cover the approved changes. The vote was recorded as approved without dissent.
