Description:
This action item is to approve modifications to active construction contracts for new construction, major renovations, and life cycle replacement projects approved in the Capital Budget. The change order process addresses modifications to contracts for work that is added, deleted, or otherwise modified from the original project design and scope of work. Change orders occur due to design errors, design omissions, unforeseen conditions, and requests from the District to ensure completeness of the project. The Office of Capital Programs reviews, negotiates, and approves change orders subject to Board approval so that construction work is not interrupted due to change orders.
Goals and Guardrails:
Guardrail 1: Welcoming and Supportive Schools - Every school will be a safe, welcoming, and healthy place where our students, staff and community want to be and learn each day.
