The Revere City RHS Building Committee made significant strides in its latest meeting on September 17, 2025, by approving a crucial contract amendment aimed at enhancing the ongoing construction project. The committee unanimously voted to approve Perkins Eastman contract amendment 5 and BRR 8, which allocates an additional $151,250 for geotechnical services provided by GZA. This decision is expected to bolster the project's foundation and ensure its successful completion.

During the meeting, committee members discussed the remaining budget, noting that after the recent approvals, there is approximately $1.754 million left in soft contingency funds. These funds are typically reserved for unforeseen expenses that may arise during construction, particularly for purchasing furniture and technology, which are budgeted at $4.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The committee emphasized the importance of maintaining a soft contingency to address any potential shortfalls in these areas as the project progresses toward its completion in late 2027.

The approval received strong support from all present members, reflecting a collaborative effort to ensure the project remains on track. The committee's proactive approach in managing the budget and addressing potential challenges demonstrates its commitment to delivering a successful outcome for the community.

Looking ahead, the committee plans to continue discussions regarding scheduling and further project developments in the coming weeks, ensuring that all stakeholders remain informed and engaged as the project advances.
