Approve Change Order No. 2 for High Stakes Testing Labs (Phase 2:  Areas 1 and 2)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

To support implementation of computer-based high stakes testing, the District is converting one or two classrooms at each school to a High Stakes Testing Lab. Modification of electrical, data, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems associated with each lab is needed to support the classroom conversion. Staff has planned to accomplish the work in three phases, with the work in each phase divided into two projects. This project accomplishes a portion of the lab installations included in the second phase.

Woodroffe Corporation Architects and Walbridge Aldinger Company were selected from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services for one of the Phase 2 projects. The scope of work provides for the electrical, data, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems modifications required to support installation of the labs at multiple school sites in administrative areas 1 and 2, and completes the requirement in those areas. (Included sites are identified in the attachment.)

This change order provides for final reconciliation of the Direct Purchase Program.
