YCEC Building 17 Change Order 9 Meeting Apr 10, 2025 - The School Board of Nassau County, Florida Category F. Action Items Type Action Recommended Action Approval AGENDA STATEMENT: This change order addresses extra needs that arose and a credit for work not performed during the renovation of building 17 at YCEC. It also adds additional days to the contract due to material delays with no monetary value. ISSUE: There was a need for the addition of a bottle filler to the water fountain in the main assembly area. A concrete pad was needed between the new cooler/freezer and the building to divert water and prevent water intrusion. It was decided that the exterior metal door frames were in good condition and did not need replacing. A quicker and less expensive route was devised for the water cooler's drain line. The specified material for the canopy had a longer lead time than expected. ALTERNATIVES: Rejection RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval RATIONALE: The approval of this change order will improve the project and allow for the continued progress of it. IMPACT STATEMENT: The $3,860.37 in funding is covered by contingency. DATA SOURCE: R.
