Q4 2023 Project Update

Chapman / Newell Instructional Building

Procurement of all necessary consultants for the execution of the project have been secured. Negotiations for the final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) began on August 31. Further negotiations will be underway to reduce the projected cost of construction. The final cost of the GMP will be solidified after the City of Fullerton provides plan approval for the required street improvements.

A Board Agenda Item for recommendation to enter into a contract with the Design-Build Entity will be presented to the Board of Trustees in October. Construction is anticipated to begin later that month.
