EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These projects were planned by The Architectural Practice. On March 12, 2002, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Rodda Construction. A preplanning evaluation determined that the Just Elementary facility could not be renovated in a cost-effective manner. Existing buildings were demolished with the exception of the recently constructed Media Center. A new elementary school to house approximately 576 students was constructed on the site. The existing Stewart Technology Lab was demolished and a replacement lab was constructed to allow the Just multipurpose dining room to be attached to the existing Stewart kitchen which was remodeled to accommodate both schools. A 14 classroom addition to house 308 students at Stewart was constructed. The full-service school components were relocated on campus to provide better accessibility to the public.

Change Order No. 6 for Just Elementary provides a credit for the return of unused contingency funds. Change Order No. 7 for Stewart Elementary provides a credit for the return of unused contingency funds.

The architect advises that the referenced project is substantially complete in accordance with the plans and specifications and other contract documents and recommends Board acceptance.
