Summary: The Board of Trustees previously approved, and the District has undertaken the facilities project known as the Liberty High School Project, which consists of constructing a new high school facility. During its June 19, 2019 meeting, the Board of Trustees ratified the contract with Pierre Landscape, Inc. (“Pierre”), in the amount of $3,163,821, for all services related to landscaping to include irrigation, grading and grounds preparation, booster pump installation, turf, and landscape installation, trees and shrubs plantings and other tasks related to general site landscaping and implementation of the required Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). During the construction of Liberty High School, it was determined that damage had occurred to existing installed landscaping. This damage was a result of contractors removing dirt from the site. Pierre was directed to repair the damage. The repair of the landscaped areas that were damaged as a result of the removal of the dirt from the Liberty site resulted in Change Order #02-007 in the amount of $3,724. The project team will back-charge the contractors that damaged the landscaping.

This is being brought before the Board as ratification due to the need to mitigate further schedule impacts related to completing the construction of Liberty High School.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2022-23 operating budget funded through Various Facilities Funds, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees ratify Change Order No. 02-007 Bid Category 02 - Pierre Landscape, Incorporated for the Liberty High School Project.
