Southborough committee approves Skanska and Arrow Street invoices totaling $30,747.48
Summary
The Town of Southborough PreK–8 School Building Committee approved two Skanska invoices totaling $27,600 and one Arrow Street invoice for $3,147.48 by roll-call vote; committee members discussed finance-subcommittee practice and next steps for paperwork.
The Town of Southborough PreK–8 School Building Committee on June 30 approved two invoices from Skanska for $15,480 and $12,120 and an Arrow Street invoice for $3,147.48, the committee said. Those approvals were made by roll-call vote during the meeting.
The invoices approved were Skanska invoice numbers 1323833-00-17 for $15,480 and 1323833-00-18 for $12,120, and Arrow Street invoice 730110 for $3,147.48. Committee members identified those invoices on the meeting agenda and voted to approve payment.
Committee members discussed the normal practice that the finance subcommittee reviews and signs off on invoices before full-committee approval. One member said the process is usually “very thorough” and noted the committee also monitors the overall project budget. The chair asked Andrew to email Carla to confirm the approvals and to provide any additional paperwork the town may need; a committee member noted that Becky assists with the behind-the-scenes reimbursement process.
During roll call for the Skanska approvals, committee members Mark, Denise and Andrew recorded “aye.” Tim’s response during the roll call was recorded as “I’ll stay,” which was not explicitly recorded as an aye or nay in the meeting transcript; the chair moved forward to consider the Arrow Street invoice afterward, which was also approved by roll call with Mark, Denise and Andrew recorded as aye.
Why it matters: the payments cover professional services on the PreK–8 building project and clear vendor invoices before control of committee membership shifts to newly appointed members. Members asked whether any further outstanding invoices remained; one member said Skanska had previously assured the committee that the two invoices represented final reconciliation and that it would be a “tall task” for vendors to return with additional charges related to the same scope.
No motions identifying specific amendments to contracts or new budget appropriations were made on June 30; the approvals were limited to the invoices listed and procedural directions to notify town finance staff as needed.
