ACCEPTANCE OF PROJECT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was planned by the architectural firm of Ranon & Partners, Inc. On September 28, 1999, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Hardin Construction Group, LLC. Athletic facilities were not included in the original scope of work due to funding issues. Funding became available and approval of Amendment No. 2 on October 28, 2003 allowed for construction of the athletic complex. The scope of work provided for building of the football field stadium, baseball field and softball field lighting, concession building and restrooms, greenhouse and shadehouse.

This change order provides a credit for the return of unused owner contingency funds.

The architect advises that the referenced project is substantially complete in accordance with the plans and specifications and other contract documents and recommends Board acceptance.
