Track renewal projects are planned District-wide as part of the 2020 sales surtax renewal program and high school track rubberization is a multi-year capital project initiative. Most of the high school tracks were assessed in poor or failed condition, so renewal was included in the 2020 sales surtax program. Since these tracks would be reconstructed as part of the renewal program, this was an opportunity to concurrently rubberize the high school tracks utilizing District capital funds. Nine tracks are either complete or under contract. 

The School Board (at its November 22, 2022 meeting) approved the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal submitted by Ivey's Construction, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $823,867.11 for the track renewal and rubberization at Space Coast Jr./Sr. High School under their continuing contract for construction management services. The GMP approval did not include converting the track from 6 lanes to 8 lanes. Ivey's Construction, Inc. prepared an additive change order in the amount of $183,103.54 to expand the track to 8 lanes. 

The cost to convert the track from 6 lanes to 8 lanes would be funded through capital funds reallocated from a budgeted capital project that can be deferred. 

Upon receiving direction from the Board to proceed, a change order would be prepared for consideration at the January 24, 2023 School Board meeting.

Provide direction to staff regarding the widening of the track at Space Coast Jr./Sr. High School from 6 to 8 lanes.
