New Braunfels ISD trustees approved a no-cost change order to extend the substantial completion date for Phase 2 construction at Long Creek High School at a meeting Feb. 9.
What happened
Voters approved funding for Phases 1 and 2 of the former Ninth Grade Center—now Long Creek High School—in November 2021. Phase 1 was completed in 2025; Phase 2 is nearing completion, according to agenda documents.
Permit delays and design changes pushed the substantial completion date from Jan. 4 to March 30, according to Bartlett Cocke General Contractors, the firm overseeing construction.
The adjustment will not result in additional costs, according to agenda documents.
Administrators said broadcast studio components were previously removed from the contract and may be reconsidered in the coming months. Any proposed additions would be brought back to the board for consideration at a later date, according to agenda documents.
In case you missed it
Voters passed the construction of Long Creek High School under the 2021 bond in two propositions, totaling $327.9 million in projects, to address growth, aging facilities, athletic upgrades and technology, as previously reported by Community Impact.
