NBISD OKs timeline extension for high school reconstruction
The time extension will not impact the move-in date, Director of Construction Services Billy Kidd said. “The move-in date has and will remain Christ- mas break of 2025,” Kidd said. The change order will also not increase the cost of the overall contract, Kidd added. The additional cost will be covered with contingency or buyout savings within the Guaranteed Maxi- mum Price of the contract, according to agenda documents. In case you missed it Phase 1 of the high school’s reconstruction was approved by voters in the November 2021 bond election. Phase 1 of the project consists of the complete replacement of NBHS and includes a three-story academic wing, main oce, cafe- teria, library and program space for Career and Technical Education courses.
The New Braunfels ISD board of trustees approved a $101,232 change order and time extension on Aug. 11 for Joeris Construction to complete the rst phase of reconstructing New
Braunfels High School. What you need to know
The contractual date for substantial comple- tion of Phase 1 was late September, but because of a design change related to the construction of the main entrance and the decision to keep four existing tennis courts, the completion date has moved to late October, according to board documents. The decision to keep the existing tennis courts created design issues with preparing the ground for the new curbs and drive on the east side of the Phase 1 building. Each of the aforementioned issues was discovered as construction pro- gressed and required additional discovery and planning, board documents state.
The rst phase of reconstruction at New Braunfels High School is slated to be completed by October.
