On November 9, 2006, the Board appointed John J. McKenna Architect P.A. and W.G. Mills, Inc. to provide design and construction management services. These additions are necessary to meet class size reduction requirements. The scope of work provides for the following additions: 14 classrooms at Maniscalco Elementary School and 12 classrooms at Marshall Middle School. Completion of each project is scheduled for August 4, 2008.

The Board previously increased the Maniscalco Elementary School addition from 12 classrooms to 14, concurrent with approval of the Design Development documents.

Approval of the guaranteed maximum price will establish the cost for each facility.

Construction cost for Maniscalco Elementary School is warranted at $2,237,545, which includes $134,462 for extraordinary conditions (additional exterior walls, foundations, electrical, and walkway canopy required for integration with existing building configuration; playground and playcourt demolition), and an increase in fee associated with the additional classrooms. The construction budget is $2,237,600. Construction cost for Marshall Middle School is warranted at $1,954,029, which includes $118,300 for extraordinary conditions (restrooms, extended chilled water piping, cleaning and partial demolition of existing stormwater system, backstop removal). The construction budget is $1,954,100. These items are included in the District Capital Outlay: Classrooms for Kids.
