RE: Administrator’s Weekly Report
DATE: July 19, 2017
CC: All Departments

Weekly Report: Weekly Report: I have some excellent news to share on the elementary school project. As you know there were some modest redesigns required to address changes in the energy code. As you also know we had the cost estimator run new numbers to see where we stood given this redesign and the one year delay. The OPM reports that “We are confirmed that estimates are positive overall and the project remains on target slightly under the original budget with the added year of inflation and the added SMMA and OPM costs. We plan to keep the add alternates as originally anticipated in the bid documents to allow the district to add elements if desired and have the safety of the FF&E if bids were to come in significantly over budget.” I’ve been working with counsel on our litigation matters as you will see on 07/24. I’ve provided comment on the several IMA drafts and have started a Transition Memorandum for Mr. Hickey.
