Making success possible for every student.
Bond program
The $27.5 million bond program will address critical health, safety, and security upgrades in all of the district’s schools. In addition, it will include energy efficiency updates, modernize existing buildings with technology and provide infrastructure improvements. Finally, bond funds will increase student capacity at Vern Patrick Elementary and Tom McCall Elementary with the addition of six new classrooms at each school.
Projects
Info and updates
ADDITION:
- Construct six additional classrooms to expand student capacity, equally placed between Tom McCall and Elton Gregory
RENOVATION/UPGRADES:
- Renovate building entrance for safety and security
- New security access control system
- Install additional security cameras
- Install additional intercom speakers
- Reseal and weatherproof exterior concrete walls
CURRENT ACTIVITIES
BBT Architects worked hard to finish the Construction Document (CD) phase of design. We moved to due date to early April so Vern Patrick could get bid and this project went through a QA/ QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) Process.
ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT PERIOD
On April 6th, Griffin Construction plans to release the 100% Documents for bidding. We will hold a walkthrough on April 13th, with bids due April 27th. Once those bids are turned in to Griffin Construction, they will be qualified for their accuracy and completeness, then turned into to HMK for review. RSD will then perform a contract amendment for construction to Griffin in the form of a GMP or Guaranteed Maximum Price. With that, Griffin can start contracting with their subcontractors and planning for construction commencement in June.
HIGHLIGHTS, CHALLENGES, SOLUTIONS
Highlights: Completion of 100% CDs, moving into bidding.
Challenges: Staggering the opening of bidding so the projects have as little overlap as possible yet making sure the QA/QC process was followed.
