Why: Approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $25,677,042 for the construction of the International Student Center HVAC Replacement and Renovations as per the CM@Risk contract approved by the Board February 12, 2024, to The Winter Construction Company ensures the completion of this project supporting a safe and healthy teaching and learning environment for students and staff.

Approval of the Final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and Amendment No. 08 meets Strategic Goal Area 6: Organizational Excellence
