EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was planned by the architectural firm of Ruyle Masters Hayes + Jennewein Architects. On September 7, 2004, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Heery International, Inc. The scope of work provides for campus-wide replacement of the electrical distribution system, replacement of branch panels and light fixtures at most buildings except 1, 2, and 3 where lamp and ballast replacements will be made, and the addition of walkway lighting, where required. Installation of new fire alarm, intercom, security, and telephone systems throughout the facility is included. Mechanical work includes replacement of the obsolete air conditioning systems. Also included is the replacement of exhaust fans and other various upgrades throughout the campus to provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility. Interior work consists of the demolition and refinishing of finishes, including casework. Many of these tasks are the result of the demolition required for the mechanical and electrical work. Exterior work includes ramp additions at covered walkways to provide ADA accessibility. The scope of work also provides for the addition of windows to Buildings 7, 8, 9, and 11, replacement of window glazing beads at Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 10 and reroofing Building 10. Minor site work consists of landscaping and correction of site drainage issues.

This change order provides for additional work associated with revisions to the site drainage plan. A time extension of 100 calendar days is included for completion of the work. The Guaranteed Maximum Price for the remodel and renovation project was Board approved on July 26, 2005, missing the summertime construction window which was rescheduled for Winter Break. A time extension of 50 calendar days is included for completion of the work.
