SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Construction Reimbursement Budget for the Reconstruction of Lee Elementary School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On October 2, 2018, the Board appointed Fleischman-Garcia Architects and JE Dunn Construction to provide design and construction management services.  District staff has negotiated the settlement format of this claim whereby all costs related to this project will be reimbursed through the insurance adjustor, Sedgwick Claims Management (Sedgwick), who represents the multiple insurance companies involved with this claim.

Sedgwick has agreed to reimburse the District for the actual final costs incurred by the District assuming the design of the school has been fully vetted and approved by Sedgwick and the Board, and all construction work has been completed by the multiple contractors, subcontractors and vendors who will have been paid for their work on this project.  Sedgwick has previously approved the replacement cost budget of $16,116,407 to reconstruct Lee Elementary School per the construction estimate prepared by JE Dunn Construction on March 29, 2018.

In an effort to expedite the start of construction, the Board is asked to approve the Operations Division to proceed with the project with the understanding that all costs incurred to replace the original 398 student stations will be reimbursed by the insurance carrier(s).
