Direct purchasing change orders are almost always deductive and are the sole initiative of the owner. These change orders represent the purchase of materials and/or equipment directly by the School Board in order to save the sales tax. This change order corrects purchase orders previously approved but requiring adjustment as a result of shipping fee changes, quantity of material changes, cancellation by the contractor, etc. 

Approve the Change Order.

This addition to the construction contract in the amount of $7,239.58 will not impact the budget.  This action reconciles direct purchasing and returns unused funds to the Contractor.
