Cheltenham SD to use state facilities grant for Stratton Hall roof; bid came in below budget
Summary
The district received a $1 million state school facilities grant for Stratton Hall roof work, staff told the finance committee; the lowest bidder was ARC Roofing and the bid came in under projection, which affects grant-match planning and next steps for additional sections.
Cheltenham School District finance staff told the finance committee on Jan. 7 that a state School Facilities Improvement Grant of $1,000,000 will fund replacement of the Stratton Hall section of Cheltenham High School’s roof, and that the lowest bidder for the work was ARC Roofing.
Per staff, the grant requires the district to meet a spending threshold on eligible work. Sweigler told the committee the bid for the current scope came in lower than anticipated; because that reduced total eligible spending, the district will complete the planned portion now and look at additional roof sections later to meet program thresholds for the state funding.
Why it matters: replacing the leaking roof section is intended to protect building systems and avoid further interior damage during spring and summer work windows. Staff emphasized the need to approve the scope in time to schedule summer work with the contractor.
Details
- Grant and bid: the district received a $1,000,000 state facilities grant; the lowest bidder for the roofing work was ARC Roofing, staff said. Because the bid came in below the estimated project cost, the district will proceed with the approved portion and consider a follow‑up bid for other sections.
- Timeline and procurement: staff said they want to finalize approval so ARC Roofing can plan summer work. Site management will be handled by SiteLogic for the project.
Questions and coordination
Board members asked about possible conflicts between the roof work and other site projects; staff said Stratton Hall’s roof is on a different side of the building and SiteLogic will coordinate schedules. The committee indicated it would review the bid and vote at the next appropriate board meeting.
