Summary
The board approved a walk-on resolution for an $8,000 change order after unforeseen steel framing was found in four classrooms; members also reviewed ongoing middle- and elementary-school construction work and moved a public hearing on the safety plan.
The Hampton Bays Union Free School District board approved a walk-on resolution to accept an $8,000 change order related to perimeter reconstruction work at an elementary school after contractors uncovered unforeseen steel framing needs in four of the 10 classrooms affected by demolition.
District officials said the change order stems from conditions discovered when a wall was removed and that steel framing is required to complete work in four classrooms. The board instructed staff to draft formal resolution language reflecting the schools' recommendation to accept the change order.
Board members also received updates on other construction projects. Officials reported renovation of toilet rooms at the middle school is underway, work on gymnasium resurfacing is proceeding, and other summer construction and feature installations are planned ahead of the fall term.
The board approved a consent agenda covering agenda items 4a through 7d, excluding item 7a so the district could hold a public hearing. The board opened and then closed the public hearing; meeting discussion indicated the Aug. 12 date for a public hearing on the safety plan and code of conduct.
The board completed its business and adjourned after taking the consent agenda and change-order votes. The meeting record provided no roll-call vote counts or named mover/second for the motions; approvals were recorded by voice vote.
