Feasibility study for space needs: low bid about $75,000; presentation moved to June
Summary
Committee members said a feasibility study for space needs received a low bid of roughly $75,000 and that the study will be presented to the town council in June after budget clarity; renovation projects would require architect/engineer certification for reimbursement.
The Burrillville School Committee discussed the space‑needs committee status and a feasibility study that went out to bid. Dr. Solito said the low bid was around $75,000 and that the district plans to present the study to the town council in June when there is greater clarity on the FY26 budget. He explained that any renovation or construction project would later require architect and engineer certification to be eligible for reimbursement; the meeting referenced a reimbursement rate described as 48% during the discussion.
Members suggested exploring lower‑cost study options and noted that a prior space‑needs process under a former superintendent followed different procedures. The committee agreed to postpone detailed discussion until June and to check the town agenda if members wished to attend the council discussion.
