Union Hill project running behind schedule; final inspection eyed for July
Summary
District staff said the Union Hill construction contract completion date has been revised to September 2024, with a July final inspection planned; the project remains under budget and district staff are meeting weekly with the contractor.
Robbie, a staff member for Morgan County Schools, told the board that work at Union Hill remains active but behind the original schedule, with a revised contract completion date of September 2024.
Robbie said a final inspection is set for July but the project had not yet reached that benchmark. "So they're nearly a year behind, not quite yet," he said. District staff continue weekly meetings with the contractor to prod progress.
On budget and holdbacks: Robbie said the project was running roughly $300,000 under budget and the district is holding about $1.2 million in retained funds on the project. He described exterior brickwork near the library as finished and said the corridor that will connect the old and new buildings is progressing; roof work, doors and windows, and new flooring were described as upcoming or in progress.
Robbie walked the board through interior work shown on project slides, including updated student drop-off entries, interior corridors connecting buildings, mechanical and storage areas, and updated restrooms and custodial spaces. He invited questions before moving on to other construction reports.
