Wayne School District bids for new work come in higher than expected; district to reassess scope
Summary
The Wayne School District reported that construction bids received this week for a school project came in much higher than expected. The district’s superintendent and architect will reconsider mechanical placements and potential scope reductions; no approvals were requested of the town at the May 29 meeting.
Representatives for the Wayne School District briefed the Bicknell Town Council on the district’s ongoing project near Bicknell. The superintendent told the town that bids opened this week and that several bids came in significantly higher than projected.
The superintendent and the district’s architect said they would likely need to reduce project scope or alter mechanical plans to bring costs within budget. The town and district discussed street addressing and setbacks; town staff offered the district guidance on parcel addresses to prevent confusion when the district proceeds with design changes.
No formal town action was requested at the May 29 work meeting. The superintendent said he would notify the council when the district had further details about revised bids and scope reductions.
