· Vendor Name: Royal Concrete Concepts
· Original Estimated Expenditure: $30,000,000

· Type of Contract: Fixed Unit Price. No total expenditure is guaranteed.
· Presented to Board: March 12, 2003 Agenda Item: 13A-1
· Contract Period: March 13, 2003 through March 12, 2006
· Purchase Orders Issued: $36,897,224
Requisitions Pending: $598,945
· The revised estimated expenditure is requested to be increased by $20,000,000 for a total of $60,500,000. The current budget has sufficient funds to cover estimated costs in the fiscal year. No additional budget funds are requested.
· Reason for Increase: This request for the purchase of additional concrete, modular classrooms is being submitted in order to meet the standards of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and Classroom Size Reduction. The District anticipates the purchase of 150 concrete, modular classrooms at $70,000 each for the fiscal year 2006. The prices remain the same as those awarded on March 12, 2003.
· If a new Request for Proposal was solicited at this time, the cost would be 5% – 7% higher due to the increased cost of materials, i.e., steel and concrete. The steel and concrete market is very volatile at this time.
