Alyssa Chatani and Amanda Sawyer of Daedalus/CHA led the discussion on the status of the
modulars. The rebid, overseen by Jorge Cruz at Flansburgh, was opened on May 16.The removal

were 2 bids received, one for$5,700,000 and one for$5,007,000. The low bid was from J&J
Construction. Kent Kovacs, of Flansburgh, gave a brief analysis of the project timeline and costs
without the modulars. This option added 1 year and increased cost of$6.4 million.

purchase with the project budget to be reviewed later to realign the costs.

Lincoln schools for the negotiated price of$550,000. Tom Fitzgibbons seconded and the
committee voted unanimously by a show of hands.
