This project was planned by the firm of Long & Associates Engineers/Architects, Inc. On November 18, 2003, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Hardin Construction Group, Inc. to supervise construction of the school facility. Bartels Middle School opened in August 2006 and relieved overcrowding at Benito Middle School and Liberty Middle Schools. The Live Oak Sports Complex was not included in the original scope pending the development of an interlocal agreement. An interlocal agreement was approved by the Board on October 25, 2005. The construction of this new facility is based on construction documents prepared by the Woodroffe Corporation, architects under contract with the Board of County Commissioners.

This change order provides for bleachers and a connecting sidewalk from the park to the bleacher area. It also provides a credit for the return of unused contingency funds.

The County has agreed to reimburse the District for the construction of the Project. Therefore, there is no financial impact to the District.
