08.13.2026 CORC Meeting

The School District of Palm Beach County held a CORC meeting on August 13, 2026, focusing primarily on facilities construction and contract management. Key procurement discussions included approval of multiple change orders related to construction projects, with detailed backup documentation provided to the board for review. The committee discussed the balance between providing sufficient detail and avoiding information overload in contract change order packages. There was also an extensive review of proposed revisions to the Construction Manager (CM) contract, including increasing the contract cap from $4 million to $7.5 million, improving payment processes, and clarifying terms related to concealed conditions, insurance requirements, and substantial completion definitions. Legal and risk management considerations were raised regarding contract language, insurance coverage, and risk allocation, with plans to refine contract terms further. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of ongoing construction projects, including new and renovated school facilities, and discussions about potential impacts of a pending constitutional amendment on school district operations and intergovernmental relations.
