3.A. Discuss and Consider Action to Approve Change Order #1 for the CTE & Ag Barn project as part of the 2023 Bond Program
Presenter:
Dr. Dana Arreola, Superintendent of Schools
Description:
The Board awarded the GMP to Weaver & Jacobs on 3/25/25 in the amount of $19,523,596. The GMP Award included $400,000 in Owner Contingency funds. Change Order #1 includes realigning the proposed City wastewater main to the southern border of the 35 acre tract, in lieu of the alignment running through the low area of the tract. The easement required by the City for either alignment is a 20’ wide permanent easement giving the City maintenance access. Note that flatwork, parking, drives, sidewalk, ballfields, fencing, etc is allowed over all portions of the easement, but no vertical (building) construction is allowed.
To accomplish the realignment to the southern border, the following items are expected:
Either wastewater alignment will be functional for the CTE/Ag Barn project. This consideration is to select the optimal path for long term growth and future development of the 35 acre tract. The following exhibits are attached to assist with decision process:

3.B. Discuss and Consider Action to Approve Wastewater Easement to City of Gonzales at new CTE & Ag Barn Project
Presenter:
Dr. Dana Arreola, Superintendent of Schools
Description:
The City of Gonzales will provide wastewater service to the new CTE & Ag Barn facilities. Part of the awarded scope of work for this project is to extend a City wastewater main from the existing infrastructure to the new project site. To accept the new wastewater main, the City requires a Wastewater Easement across property owned by GISD. This easement also allows the City to utilize GISD property to extend wastewater service to the north to adjacent properties. The City will maintain all lines in this easement.
The proposed easement exhibit is attached, along with easement language provided by the City. Note this easement is exclusively provided to the City and not to other entities or utility providers. There is no cost to GISD for this easement other than creating the exhibits. *NOTE: the attached easement alignment exhibit shows the current path of the wastewater main. If the path of the main is relocated to the perimeter, the Board may consider approving a 20’ wide easement along the southern border of the same tract and give the Superintendent to the authority to finalize the exhibit. |
