Q1 2026 Project Update

Student Support Center 

January

The project progressed on punch-list, warranty items, and DSA Field Engineer requirements. Ollivier Corporation ordered access control parts for the building. Roof leaks from November rainstorms were handled through a warranty claim.


The Campus Project assessed supplying uninterrupted power supply to auto-operated doors at the building entrances in collaboration with BN Builders. Close-out activities continued; as-built drawings are pending receipt for archival into the central District database.

Fullerton Leadership, the Campus Project Manager, and BN Builder project executives met in December and again in January to discuss the terms of Change Order No. 2 that includes BN Builders’ assertion of additional project costs incurred early on in the timeline; a resolution is still pending. The Campus Project is considering presenting a unilateral change order to allow the project to conclude.

Close-out activities are progressing as planned, including the compilation of as-built drawings, submittals, warranties, and manuals. Training sessions for Campus Facilities and staff are currently being conducted in preparation for issuance of the Notice of Completion in the forthcoming months.
