I.15. Approval of a Reduction in Retainage on the Construction Contraact for the Renovation at Glendover Elementary School BG 12-180
Mary Wright
Rationale

KDE’s 702 KAR 4:160 requires 10% retainage on construction contracts until the project is 50% complete, when a reduction to 5% retainage is allowed. After substantial completion of the work, a reduction to a lump sum amount less than the 5% retainage, which lump sum shall be twice the estimated cost to correct the deficient or incomplete work, may be approved. The contract with Woodford Builders for the renovation of Glendover Elementary School in the amount of $12,163,000.00 (including direct purchase orders) was accepted and approved by the Board at its March 25, 2013 meeting. Since that time the progress of the work has been reviewed by the Department of Physical Support Services, the design consultants, Pearson & Peters Architects, and the local building code officials. More than 99% of the construction is currently complete, leaving $625,159.82 for the remainder of the contract work, including the retainage amount. Currently, the contractor has requested with the approval of the surety, the recommendation of the architect and the concurrence of the FCPS Physical Support Services staff, a reduction of the retained amount to a lump sum of $300,000, which amount the architect confirms is twice the estimated cost to correct the deficient or incomplete work. The Kentucky Department of Education requires that this reduction of the retainage to a lump sum be approved by the Board. Remaining payments to the contractor shall not be made until all work has been completed and accepted by the architect and the Department of Physical Support Services. Prior to final payment, a BG-4 Final Approval and Payment Application Form will be presented for signature by the Superintendent and acceptance of the work by the Board. Approval of this reduction of retainage complies with the intent of the requirements of 702 KAR 4:160 and the Kentucky Department of Education, District Facilities Branch.

I.20. Approval of Third-Party Special Inspection Agreement for the Construction of the New High School on Winchester Rd BG 14-159
Mary Wright
Rationale

The International Building Code as adopted by Kentucky requires the Owner of construction/renovation projects to contract directly with a qualified engineering firm that can act as a third-party Special Inspection Agent for the duration of a renovation/construction project. Previous editions of the code allowed the special inspector to be hired by the contractor. The current series of FCPS projects and all future projects will be required to have special inspectors hired directly by FCPS.

Several sections of the Kentucky Building Code require the special inspection of structural materials and their installation (i.e., concrete footings, bolted steel connections, masonry materials) prior to the work progressing to the next phase. This is meant to be a safeguard to Owner, the building occupants and the general public, and will help eliminate construction defects before structural components are concealed by finish materials.

In preparation for the start of construction, proposals were obtained from four (4) qualified engineering firms to serve as the Special Inspection Agent. The special inspector must be available as soon as the contractor begins foundation work and whenever inspection activities are required by the code throughout the life of the project. Based on the design team’s analysis of the proposals received, L.E. Gregg, Inc. appears to have submitted an acceptable proposal meeting all of the project criteria. The total anticipated value of the services needed for the project requires the approval of the Board.
