Uvalde CISD Chief Financial Officer Pam Bendele spoke to the Uvalde CISD Trustees at Monday night’s board meeting on the status of the GMP Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment 1 with the Broaddus and Company for the construction of District Wide Security Vestibules.
After a discussion, the board voted to table the vestibule agenda item.
“We did meet Thursday, and they are still too high compared to the money that I have” referring to a proposed amount to construct the security vestibules. Bendele indicated the grant timeline to fund the project is looming. Bendele continued stating there were aspects of the project that could bring the price of the project down and she expects to hear back from the PBK Architects soon. “They are meeting as a team, and they may call back tomorrow morning,” Bendele said.
“Prices keep going up, inflation is just eating our lunch,” Uvalde CISD Superintendent Ashley Chohlis said.
” I think a lot of it is, they are having a hard time finding subs (subcontractors) to come to Uvalde to work,” Bendele said.
Chohlis stated due to the grant’s timeline; the board may need to meet again this Friday if PBK Architects come back with a price this week.
