Summary
Construction manager told the board footings and columns are complete, underground utilities are in, a transformer was installed, structural steel is scheduled next week and large wall panels will be set in October; minor unexpected plumbing work occurred but remains within contingency.
A construction update showed the new-school project is advancing on schedule, with foundations and mechanical rough-ins in place and structural steel scheduled to arrive soon.
The construction manager said crews have completed footings and columns and have advanced bearing walls and masonry work. A new transformer was installed and underground electrical and plumbing work is largely in place; a grease interceptor has also been set and connected to the street.
"You'll start seeing steel going up and cranes in place," the manager said, and noted large wall panels are expected in October. The team reported they have documented field changes digitally and ran cameras in some existing underground lines to verify conditions.
Speakers acknowledged minor unexpected conditions. The manager said a few plumbing issues were found and addressed and emphasized built-in allowances and contingency in the construction budget. The team also described custom joists and structural adjustments needed where existing and new buildings merge to meet current snow-load calculations.
Board members asked about unexpected costs; the construction manager described the additional work as "peanuts in the scheme of things" compared with the overall project budget and stressed the value of documenting changes to avoid future uncertainty. No new funding or budget motions were requested at the meeting.
