SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Guaranteed Maximum Prices for Water Intrusion Correction at Deer Park and Oak Park Elementary Schools

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Water intrusion at Deer Park and Oak Park Elementary Schools requires remediation and implementation of corrective action to prevent further intrusion. District staff selected C.B. Goldsmith and Associates, Inc., and Gilbane Building Company from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services for a project for each site to accomplish the needed repairs and remediation.  Each project scope provides for removal and replacement of delaminated stucco and all sealants; exterior painting and limited interior painting; new walkway coatings; new drip flashings at window and door heads and new metal hoods over exterior wall louvers; and corrections to window flashing. 

Project completions are scheduled for July 2013.

Approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMP) will establish the cost for the projects.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)

Construction cost is warranted at $899,874 for Oak Park and $1,007,585 for Deer Park. These items are included in the District Capital Outlay: Local Millage. As the water intrusion issues are believed due in part to defective design and/or construction, the District is seeking to recoup a portion of these costs from the architect and contractor that designed and built both schools, per attached Board item 8.02 dated January 15, 2013.  To provide a final opportunity for resolution prior to the District filing suit for recovery of these costs, contracts executed pursuant to this approval shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. Friday, April 26, 2013, unless the architect, contractor and/or surety agrees to accomplish the needed repairs prior to that time.  In that case, the GMP approval granted herein shall be rescinded.
