Title
APPROVAL AND/OR RATIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION SERVICES' CHANGE ORDER

Description
The Construction Services' change order is summarized on the enclosure for ease of review.  This change order is an increase of $3,665,409.15 in gross contract dollars.

Gap Analysis

Change orders are utilized on construction contracts to adjust the original contract amount for various circumstances.  These may include adjustments for an increase or decrease in project scope, adjustments need to close a contract and return unspent project funds to the district, or for moving the purchase of large items from a contract so the district can purchase these items directly from vendors to save sales tax. The attached documents detail the associated change order for this item on the Bay Haven School of Basics Plus Building 1 Renovation project. 



Previous Outcomes 
Change orders reflect construction project progress and occur as a result of conditions on the construction project and the project manager managing the costs associated with the purchase of materials, supplies and labor. Deductive change orders allow the district to save the cost of paying sales tax on large purchase items. 

Expected Outcomes 
This system has resulted in significant, ongoing savings and allows district staff to continue to maximize these benefits, especially as the construction market becomes more competitive. 

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 4 - Every School Equipped

Priority 4.2 - Create High Quality Infrastructure 


Recommendation
That the Construction Services' change orders be approved and/or ratified as presented.
