Norwich School Building Committee votes unanimously to hire construction manager after executive-session interviews
Summary
The Norwich School Building Committee met Feb. 25, conducted executive-session interviews with three firms for construction-manager roles on two school projects and voted unanimously to hire a construction manager (firm not named in the record). The committee also approved minutes and a consent agenda.
The Norwich School Building Committee on Feb. 25 approved minutes, cleared a consent agenda, held an executive session to interview three firms for construction-manager services and unanimously voted to hire a construction manager for two school construction projects (firm not specified in the transcript).
In a meeting called to order at 6:32 p.m., members first approved the Jan. 22 minutes and a Feb. 19 special-meeting minutes after minor wording corrections were noted. The committee then approved the consent agenda by roll call.
The committee voted to remove the agenda item titled “selection of finalists for interviews for the executive session” before entering executive session. The committee then moved into executive session for the purpose of interviewing candidates to serve as construction manager for the two school projects; city of Norwich ex officio members, Board of Education staff, the owners' representative and project architects were invited to attend at the committee's discretion. The transcript records that three firms were interviewed during the executive session.
After returning from executive session (the transcript notes the committee came out of executive session at 9:33 p.m.), a motion was made and seconded to hire a construction manager for the two school construction projects. The transcript records a unanimous roll-call approval: Christine (yes), Bill Hall (yes), Mark Kullos (yes), Sheila Hayes (yes), Cindy (yes), Greg (yes), Joe (yes) and another committee member who identified themself as present (yes). The transcript does not name the firm selected.
Committee members concluded the meeting with routine closing items and a motion to adjourn.
Speakers recorded in the meeting include Bill Hall (moved approval of the Jan. 22 minutes and participated in motions), Greg (seconded and voted on motions), Sheila Hayes (moved items and voted), Cindy (voting member), Christine (participated by remote attendance), Joe (voting member), Phil (present and voted during roll calls), Mark Kullos (second on at least one motion), and Tim Smith (introduced as an on-site representative and Norwich resident). The transcript labels some speakers only by first name; titles beyond committee membership are not specified in the record.
The transcript does not record the name of the firm hired as construction manager, nor does it provide contract terms, price, or an implementation schedule. The committee’s actions recorded in the transcript were procedural: approval of minutes and consent items, executive-session interviews, and a formal vote to hire a construction manager (firm not specified).
