District says deconstruction for middle school field begins May 15; three-party oversight planned
Summary
Superintendent reported that deconstruction work for the intermediate/middle school field is scheduled to begin May 15 and that the district will use multiple firms and third-party testing to tightly supervise deconstruction and reconstruction.
District staff told the May 5 school committee that the intermediate (middle) school field project is on schedule to begin deconstruction May 15 and that the district will deploy multiple oversight groups to supervise both deconstruction and reconstruction phases.
The superintendent said the initial planning meeting included PMA (project manager), the builder RAD, the designer (NESRA) and a third-party testing organization (HNA). The district plans layered supervision and testing during deconstruction to document existing conditions with photographs and ensure the new work matches design specifications. The goal, the superintendent said, is to avoid recurring failures that required the current repairs.
Committee members were told that supervision would be conducted by three separate groups at different phases and that those firms would work for the district while supervising the builder. No contract awards or new funding were voted at the meeting; the update was informational and focused on schedule, oversight roles and next steps as the project moves from planning into on-site work.
