Agenda Item
i. E-SPLOST V Project 11535 Group A Security Vestibule – Change Order No. 7 to Lefko Construction (Not to exceed $234,918.24)
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve a budget reallocation in the amount of $234,918.24.
It is also requested that the Board of Education approve the Lefko Construction Change Order No. 7 for Security Vestibule in the amount of $234,918.24.
Why: Per the recommendations in the Comprehensive Master Plan the security vestibule project at Ronald E. McNair High School was put on hold by DCSD on March 4, 2022. Due to the lack of action on the CMP’s recommendations, DCSD asked for the security vestibule on hold to be re-activated on August 16, 2023. The additional cost is due to the increase in material costs since the initial contract award and the added general conditions of installing one security vestibule after the others in the group are complete. The approval of Change Order No. 7 will allow Lefko Construction to proceed with ordering material and installation of a security vestibule at Ronald E. McNair High School.
Details: Specific details related to the scope of work for this project can be found on the District’s solicitation website at https://dekalbschoolsga.ionwave.net/.
On November 15, 2021, the Board of Education approved the award of RFP No. RFP #22-752-001 for Group A Security Vestibule to Lefko Construction. The scope of work for this project includes Group A Security Vestibules.
Financial impact: A budget adjustment of $234,918.24 will be necessary to cover the additional cost of Change Order No. 7 to the construction services contract with Lefko Construction.
The budget adjustment would move $234,918.24 from E-SPLOST V Project 60236: Program Contingency (cost code: SP5MANG.60235.PRGCONTIN to E-SPLOST V Project 11535:Group A Security Vestibule (cost code:SP5SAFSEC.11535.GENCONTR).
