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.  Change orders affect the scope of the project and are required to be School Board approved by State Requirements for Educational Facilities and Florida Statutes.  Engineer:  Haddad Engineering, Inc.; Contractor:  R. B. Gay Construction Company, Inc.

Approve the change order.

This addition to the construction contract in the amount of $0.01 will not impact the budget.
