Approve Acceptance of Project for Modular Addition and Remodeling at Brewster Adult School

On May 3, 2011, the Board approved the use of Community Investment Tax proceeds for replacement of obsolete and non-economically repairable portable facilities with modular buildings. Replacement of obsolete portables at Brewster Adult School was required. To reduce the number of modular buildings required for replacement, remodeling of the space vacated by the relocation of GED program activities to Gary Adult High School was needed in conjunction with the portable replacement.

District staff combined the portable demolition, modular installation and permanent building remodeling at Brewster into a single project and selected Long & Associates Architects/Engineers, Inc. and Halfacre Construction Company from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services. The scope of work provided for disconnection and demolition of 13 portables and an associated walkway, and site work and utility connections for ten classroom modulars and two gang restrooms at Brewster. Remodeling of Room 203 and adjacent areas on the second floor of Building 1 at Brewster into two classrooms and an exit corridor,  included replacement of the existing egress stair with a new stairwell, and was also included in the project scope.

The design professional has certified that the referenced project is finally complete in accordance with the plans and specifications and other contract documents and recommends Board acceptance.

This item was included in the Workforce Funding and District Capital Outlay: Community Investment Tax (CIT).
