EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was planned by the architectural firm of John J. McKenna Architect, P.A. On March 12, 2002, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Batson-Cook Company. The scope of work included the conversion of five classrooms into a media center and twelve new classrooms. The multi-purpose/dining building was extended to accommodate a new music room. The kitchen was renovated and included all new equipment. Existing buildings received new windows, doors and frames. Mechanical and electrical systems were renovated campus-wide and included replacement of rooftop units. Restrooms were renovated to meet handicap accessibility requirements. All classrooms received new marker boards and tack boards, audio-visual screens and blinds. All buildings received new acoustical ceilings, floor finishes, casework and paint. New fire alarm, intercom, security, telephone and data network systems were installed throughout the facility. New signage was provided campus-wide. The parking lot was expanded and restriped and two retention ponds were constructed to accommodate the additional parking area and new buildings.

This change order provides credits for project savings and the return of unused contingency funds.
