An item approved by the Chandler Unified School District Governing Board last week will add to the cost of a major project at an elementary school.
By unanimously approving the consent agenda at its Dec. 13 regular meeting, the board added about $427,000 to its contract with design Orcutt Winslow as part of the Galveston Elementary rebuild process.
District staff initially estimated the rebuild to cost less than $24 million and created an initial contract with Orcutt Winslow in December of last year based on a design fee that’s 5.4% of the total project cost.
