MASB is asking the board to vote for its preferred candidate for Board of Directors. Information about the candidates is in the packet. Bloomingdale is in Region 6. We need to choose one of the three candidates running. Article VIII, Section 6 of the MASB Bylaws permits only one director to be elected or appointed from any one local or intermediate school district board. The voting deadline is March 11. (Anita will submit the Board’s vote.) |

9.B. Approval of Letter to Tower Pinkster - Series 1 Design Errors & Omissions
Description:
As previously shared with the Board, TowerPinkster (TP) provided a summary of design-related errors and omissions (E&O’s) associated with Series 1 construction, calculating total E&O costs at 4.54% of construction cost.
After a detailed review of all change orders, I disagree with both (1) the classification of certain change orders and (2) the construction cost baseline used in calculating the percentage. Using the Board-approved original bid amount and including change orders that administration believes should be classified as design omissions, the District’s calculation reflects E&O costs totaling $762,630 (9.94% of construction cost), with $379,051 exceeding the 5% threshold referenced in TP’s written commitment. The attached letter formally outlines the District’s position and proposes a resolution seeking reimbursement in the amount of $94,763, representing 25% of the amount exceeding the 5% threshold. Board approval is requested to authorize transmission of the letter to TowerPinkster as presented. |
