SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Change Orders No. 2 and 3 for Asbestos Abatement at Bloomingdale High School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Significant asbestos abatement is required in conjunction with the ongoing renovation at Bloomingdale High School. District staff solicited bids and awarded a contract for the abatement to the low bidder, Cross Environmental Services, Inc. 

As demolition for the renovation has proceeded, additional unforeseen asbestos requiring abatement has been discovered. Change Orders No. 2 and 3 to the abatement contract provide for the additional required abatement. As these change orders increase the original contract amount by more than 10%, Board approval is required.
