Almost a year ago, I blogged about how Dan Remely regretted that "the blogs" only listed numbers for change orders. Updated List of High School Change Orders

| Change Order |
Dan Remely mentioned at last night's meeting (which was televised this evening) that "the blogs" have lists of numbers for change orders. Just numbers, with no explanations given. In the small space that is available, that is all I can do. I post the agendas which provide the explanations. Dan spoke of a detailed list that will be on the School District website. When he questioned the availability of that list, President Cappucci replied that the list has not been developed. So I guess we are just stuck with a list of numbers.Poor Dan. That list was never developed, at least for the public to see...until now.
Richard Gideon, Lebo Citizens reader and commenter, has been keeping track of all the change orders. Monthly, Richard has been kind enough to verify my numbers that I list on the sidebar of this blog.
RG included this explanation in his email to me, along with the table that he created. High School Construction Reconcile Sheet
The pale yellow cells represent the change orders for the HS "Renovation" project from June 2012 through December 2013. The pale green cells are change orders sorted from lowest (maximum refund) to highest (greatest single expense). Please note that the number in the pale green cells do not represent the cost or refund of the change order as described in that particular row; ergo, the color coding.
At the end, you'll find both average and median prices. Those in the pale yellow areas are across the board; those in the pale green areas are sequestered into refunds only vs. costs only.(No TERC math was used, nor any standard American algorithm harmed, in the preparation of this table)
