District says middle-school bathroom and bond projects complete, under budget
Summary
The district's building subcommittee reported that middle-school bathroom work is finished, the bond projects are on time and about $100,000 under budget, and the remaining items are limited to a small punch list.
The Portsmouth School Department reported Sept. 23 that the district’s bond-funded capital projects are essentially complete, on time and under budget, the committee heard.
At a Sept. 17 district building subcommittee meeting attended by committee members, presenters said the middle-school bathroom project is the last outstanding item and that work is finished aside from a small punch list. The subcommittee noted the bond program is approximately $100,000 under budget, funds that can be used only for projects included in the bond but not for unrelated new work.
Committee members praised the administration and contractors for completing the projects on schedule and under budget. A subcommittee member said administrators will confirm final punch-list items and next steps for any remaining scope at the middle school.
Why it matters: The completion and budget surplus on the bond program reduce near-term capital uncertainty and allow the district to consider expanding items within the approved bond scope.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the punch list for the middle-school bathrooms and report back to the committee with any recommended in-scope expansions.
