SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Change Order No. 2 for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Renovation at Twin Lakes Elementary School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On October 26, 2010, the Board approved the issuance of approximately $37,935,000 of Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCBs) for renovation of roofs and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems at various District sites.  The QSCBs provided for acceleration of roof and HVAC renovations previously scheduled in the five-year plan, including renovation of the HVAC system at Twin Lakes Elementary School.  (The allocation of QSCB funded projects to phases is indicated in an attachment.)

On June 14, 2011, the Board appointed VoltAir Consulting Engineers, LLC to provide design services for the project at Twin Lakes. On April 10, 2012, the Board awarded the contract for construction to the low bidder, Vogel Bros. Building Co.

This change order provides for the reconciliation of the Direct Purchase Program. Previous credits by the contractor to the District for direct purchases significantly exceeded amounts required. As this change order returning the excess funds to the contractor is for an amount greater than $100,000, Board approval is required.
