SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Change Order No. 1 in the Credit Amount of $4,425,183.26 for Renovation (Phase 2) at
Armwood High School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On November 9, 2006, the Board appointed Ranon & Partners, Inc. Architects and Ellis Construction Company, Inc. to provide design and construction management services for the Classroom and Field House Addition and Remodel at Armwood High School. On September 18, 2007, the Board approved the amendment of the existing agreements with the architect and construction manager to include the recently funded renovation project. The renovation of existing facilities includes correction of code and safety deficiencies; roof replacement; replacement of data, closed circuit television (CCTV), fire alarm, intercom and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; new signage, ceiling tiles, lighting and flooring; repair or replacement of damaged casework; upgrades to existing electrical and security systems; interior repainting; repair, cleaning and sealing of exterior brick, and repainting of other exterior surfaces; restroom and kitchen renovations; new stadium lighting and sound systems; new playcourts; replacement of auditorium seating; and limited replacement of instructional aids.

The renovation was planned in phases primarily to expedite replacement of the roof and central chiller plant and allow it to occur during the summer while the facility was unoccupied. Phase 1, which included cleaning and sealing of the building exterior, replacement of the roof, the central chiller plant, and the football field lighting and sound system, was accomplished this past summer. Phase 2 addresses the remaining scope.

This change order provides a credit for the direct purchase of materials by the District for Phase 2, in accordance with the Direct Purchase Program.
