The Austintown Local Schools Board on May 15 approved a resolution authorizing guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment No. 8, dated April 1, 2025, with Hively Construction Company in connection with the construction of a new district recreation center.
The treasurer presented the resolution for approval; a motion and second were recorded and the board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution as recommended. The motion was placed on the consent agenda and passed without additional discussion on the public record.
The motion identifies the amendment number and the contractor (GMP amendment No. 8 dated April 1, 2025; Hively Construction Company) and states the action is “in connection with the construction of a new recreation center.” The resolution language was read into the record as presented; the meeting transcript does not contain the GMP dollar amount or the specific contract terms.
The resolution was handled as a consent item, meaning the board approved it together with other recommended items. The district did not state on the record any immediate next steps, contingency requirements or funding sources tied to the GMP during the public motion.
Because the transcript does not record the GMP amount or funding breakdown, the public record from this meeting does not disclose the budget impact; district staff would be the appropriate contact for the full contract and financing details.
