Committee approves quote for new bleachers at North Providence High School gym; 60% reimbursement confirmed
Summary
The committee approved a not‑to‑exceed quote to replace bleachers in North Providence High School gymnasium No. 2 after the Rhode Island School Building Authority confirmed reimbursement under its health and safety program at approximately 60%.
Superintendent Goho asked the committee to approve an enclosed vendor quote to replace bleachers in North Providence High School gymnasium No. 2. He said the district received confirmation that the Rhode Island School Building Authority will reimburse the project under its health and safety program at an approximate 60% reimbursement rate.
Goho described prior gym renovations at Birchwood and Richey and said gym No. 2 still has original bleachers that are roughly 30 years old and present safety concerns similar to those that required replacement at other schools. He asked the committee to approve the quote up to the invoice amount so the district can proceed; the committee approved the motion without recorded roll‑call.
The administration said it will continue to pursue athletic grants that could further lower the district’s out‑of‑pocket cost, and that subsequent quotes for floor resurfacing and padding replacement will likely follow.
Vote: motion to approve the bleacher quote passed with a voice vote of “Aye.”
