Approve Change Order No. 2 and Acceptance of Project for Portable Demolition and Modular Installation at Brandon Alternative

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 portables housing Brandon Alternative School and Area VII Administrative Offices was included in the requirements.

District staff selected Gould Evans Associates, PL and Peter R. Brown Construction, Inc. from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services.  The project scope included demolition of 41 portables at the Brandon Alternative site; site preparation, site utilities and connection of 38 new modular buildings; build-out to meet Owner requirements; renovation and/or expansion of access roads and parking; and restoration of the remaining site.

Pursuant to Board policy, staff issued construction change directives (CCD) as listed in the attachments to relocate two portables in lieu of demolition and address code official requirements that arose during the construction period.  The policy requires that normal change order procedures be implemented following issuance of a CCD.   This change order also provides for  final reconciliation of direct purchases; return of project savings; and liquidated damages for late final completion. As this change order is for an amount greater than $100,000, Board approval is required.

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 District Capital Outlay: Community Investment Tax (CIT) and Land Proceeds.
