05.28.2026 CORC Meeting

The School District of Palm Beach County held a Construction Oversight and Review Committee (CORC) meeting on May 28, 2026, focusing primarily on construction project updates, contract change orders, and procurement oversight. The committee discussed the delegation of authority for approving change orders under construction manager contracts, noting that while the committee receives reports on these changes, their ability to influence or critique individual change orders is limited under current policies. Members emphasized the value of oversight on larger trends and capital planning rather than minor change orders. The meeting also covered competitive bidding for roofing projects, highlighting strong vendor interest and good design documentation leading to competitive pricing. Staff provided updates on ongoing capital projects, including the Historic Roosevelt project and West Rib educational buildings, and discussed staffing changes to support project management. The committee approved motions to accept various construction reports into the official records, consistent with policy, and discussed the integration of sales tax funding for capital improvements. No new contract awards or RFPs were presented, but the meeting underscored ongoing procurement activities and the importance of process improvements in construction management oversight.
