Middletown School Committee approves multiple construction contracts for new middle–high school and elementary repairs
Summary
The Middletown School Committee voted to award a set of construction contracts for the new middle–high school’s Group 3 trades and to approve Group 2 mechanical system repairs at the elementary school complex. Both motions passed by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.
The Middletown School Committee voted on June 3 to award multiple construction contracts for the new Middletown middle–high school and to approve mechanical repairs at the elementary school complex.
The superintendent recommended and the committee approved awards covering Group 3 trades for the new middle–high school, including masonry, miscellaneous metals, fireproofing, panelized exterior veneer, exterior storefront and curtain wall, drywall and general trades, dumpsters, surveying, temporary toilets, and ATP TAC-001. A motion to approve the building committee’s recommendations was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the meeting record does not include a roll-call tally.
Committee members said the building committee and the district’s project manager, Gilbane, had vetted the recommended bidders and contract awards. A committee member also noted the project was “about $12,000,000 under” the budget figure cited at the 60% stage and that cost trends were “favorable,” as had been explained previously by Justin from Colliers during recent project briefings. Those statements were provided by committee members during discussion and were not part of a formal budget vote.
The committee separately approved a superintendent recommendation to award Group 2 mechanical system repairs for the elementary school complex. That motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the record shows no roll-call breakdown of individual member votes.
Members acknowledged that the building committee had spent substantial time reviewing the bids and contract recommendations and that the related documents and meeting video are available on the district website. No amendments to the award recommendations were recorded during the meeting.
The committee adjourned after the votes. The meeting record does not specify contractors’ names, contract amounts, or precise implementation dates in the transcript excerpts provided; those details appear to exist in the building committee materials posted on the district website.
