AGENDA ITEM

Agenda Title:Albee Stadium/Bud Cloney Field Project Update
Meeting Date:December 14, 2023
Item:Discussion


WHAT (the board is asked to discuss, receive, approve, or adopt)

The Governing Board will receive an update regarding status of the Eureka High School Albee Stadium/Bud Cloney Field construction project.



WHY (briefly explain why the action or discussion is important; and if applicable, how it is connected to site, district, or strategic plans)
The District has yet to receive final plan approval from the Division of the State Architect. As a result, the date for qualified contractors to submit bids for the project has been extended to January 10, 2024.

STRATEGIC PLAN/PRIORITY AREA:
Priority Area 19: New and Modernized Facilities

HISTORY (list previous staff or board action(s) with dates if possible)

The project was awarded at the March 3, 2022 Board meeting and an updated agreement was approved at the March 31, 2022 meeting. Approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) was on the May 11, 2023 agenda but the Board took no action. At the October 26, 2023, meeting, the Governing Board approved the dissolution of the Lease Leaseback Agreement with Wahlund Construction, Inc./Sequoia Construction Specialties for Increment #1. The Board opted to pause the project so that staff could reevaluate options once Increment #2 plans are approved by the Division of the State Architect, and the amount of state funding is determined.

HOW MUCH(list the revenue amount $ and/or the expense amount $)
The architect’s estimate for the base portion of the project is $28 million. This does not include potential add alternatives. The cost of the project will not be known until contractor bids are received.

WHO(list the name of the contact person(s), job title, and site location)
Paul Ziegler, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services
