The School Building Committee of Norwich, Connecticut convened on September 22, 2025, to discuss ongoing developments related to the construction of new school facilities. The meeting began with the distribution of hard copies of the monthly exit activity report and an updated pre-construction schedule.

The primary focus of the meeting was the progress on the early electrical pre-purchase package. Committee members reported that documents related to this package, including one-line drawings and electrical specifications, have been generated and distributed for early review. This effort aims to streamline the procurement process for essential electrical equipment, which is critical due to its long lead time.

Updates to the pre-construction schedule were also highlighted. The committee emphasized the importance of including document submission and development for the early electrical packages, while maintaining the original milestone dates. The construction documents are currently under development, with the first review expected in early October to early November. This review will include a constructability assessment and cost estimation.

The committee noted that the electrical equipment is the only item currently requiring long lead time, although there were discussions regarding the stormwater infiltration system. The meeting concluded with a commitment to further discuss the construction estimate and the documents related to the early electrical pre-purchase package in future sessions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's ongoing efforts to ensure timely progress in the school construction project, with a focus on critical electrical components and adherence to the established timeline.
