RCSD Administration in conjunction with SVA Architects requested a design change to add landscaping and a new irrigation system at the front of the school and along the classrooms adjacent to the driveway.

Based on the review and discussions of the proposal received, the recommendation is to award Change Order #1 to the contract with Lewis & Tibbitts, Inc.  This work will be based on Time and Materials not to exceed $150,000.00. This delivery method of Time and Materials is recommended due to the time constraint of completing the work before the start of school in the fall of 2019. 

RCSD Administration in conjunction with SVA Architects requested a design change to add curbs at entrance and extend one sidewalk. 

Lewis & Tibbitts began construction in June of 2019.  There were necessary design changes required during construction due to mitigate existing conditions with the grades bordering the new ramp/stairs in order to ensure safety in that area.  Based on the review and discussions of the proposal received, the recommendation is to award Change Order #2 to the contract with Lewis & Tibbitts, Inc. in the amount of $ 30,670.00.
