Board approves design and capital repairs including Poplar Building renovations, Tuscola sewer design and three roof replacements
Summary
The board approved multiple building-and-grounds items: Native Forms architectural design work for the Poplar Building (for the Innovative Middle School project), a $38,300 design contract for the Tuscola Farm sewer land project using R&R funds, and roof replacements at three sites totaling $139,400 using capital funds.
The Haywood County Schools Board approved several building and grounds contracts and design authorizations tied to capital projects.
Building and Grounds presented a motion to retain Native Forms Architectural for renovation design work on the Poplar Building at HCC to support the planned Haywood Innovative Middle School. Board members said the expense will come from the previously approved project allocation and that the vote approved design work within that budget. The motion was moved by Mr. Kirkpatrick and seconded by Mr. Nesbitt; the motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved a design contract with an engineering firm, CDC, for the Tuscola Farm sewer land project in the amount of $38,300, to be paid from R&R (repair and renovation) funds. Board members noted the approval covered design work only.
Finally, the board approved roofing work by Bonnet’s Company for roof replacement at Bethel Middle cafeteria, North Canton Elementary K–1 building, and the Waynesville Middle locker room. The contract award was $139,400, to be paid from FY 25–26 capital funds; board members said the winning bid represented a savings compared with earlier estimates.
All motions in the building-and-grounds segment carried without recorded opposition. Board members discussed scheduling and efforts to reduce disruption during school hours for the roof work and noted design funds will be drawn from the project’s overall allocation.
