SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Change Order Number Three for Cooling Tower Replacements at Blake High School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On April 12, 2016, the Board approved an urgent requirement for replacement of the cooling towers and related equipment serving the HVAC cooling plant at Blake High School.  The reconciliation of direct purchases for the project requires a change order to adjust the contract amount.

Previous credits by the contractor to the District for the direct purchases significantly exceeded the amounts required.  As the resultant change order returning the excess funds to the contractor is for an amount greater than $100,000, Board approval is required. 
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship • Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
