intersection of Soquel Drive and Cabrillo College Drive. The final buildings of the complex were
completed and occupied in 2009.
Some aspects of the construction contracts between the trade contractors and the District were disputed by
the parties which resulted in mediation. The mediation process resulted in a settlement of outstanding
issues. The settlement was reached in March 2011 and finalized in August, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,600,000 in net payments to the district
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Governing Board accept the terms and ratify the Art
