Summary
Architects briefed the Victor Central School District Board on phase 1 and phase 2 capital project scopes, a near‑term bid schedule for phase 1, and commissioning of a solar/PV study; phase 1 was described as roughly $13 million and phase 2 as in the tens of millions with ground breaking planned for 2026.
Design and construction teams reported progress on the district’s multiyear capital project, outlining scope, cost categories and a schedule for bidding and construction.
Representatives from SWBR and Campus Construction Management summarized phase 1 work (PA and clock system upgrades across multiple buildings, roofing restoration, safety and security upgrades and targeted HVAC work) and phase 2 priorities (larger building renovations, cafeteria additions and playing‑field improvements). The presenters said phase 1 advertising for bidders began in October, with bids opening Dec. 4, and a targeted construction start for some phase‑1 work in January 2026; phase 2 schematic and design development is ongoing with an anticipated submission to SED on Dec. 19 and a potential ground breaking in September 2026.
District presenters described an approximate cost picture: they identified phase 1 totals in the low tens of millions (presented in the meeting as approximately $13 million for the phase‑1 scope) and described phase 2 as a substantially larger package (presenters gave figures that correspond to roughly $44–45 million for phase 2). The board asked for additional detail and confirmed that contractors may submit RFI questions through the specified pre‑bid deadlines.
The board also asked the district to evaluate renewable‑energy options; presenters said the district has commissioned engineers to complete a solar/PV feasibility study, and staff noted geothermal analysis was requested as well. Board members asked that the energy analysis be integrated into the facilities committee’s five‑year plan.
No final contract awards or binding approvals were made during the meeting; the board received the update and will consider bids and subsequent contract awards through the district’s procurement and SED review processes.
