Summary

Committee member Kate Masanati said foundations are finishing and the project team will present a final guaranteed maximum price in early January; the committee praised the project team's safety practices and community engagement.

The school building committee reported progress on the new South Kingstown High School at the Dec. 25 meeting. Committee member Kate Masanati said crews are finishing foundation work and that the project team expects to present a final guaranteed maximum price (GMP) to the school building committee on Jan. 8, with a Town Council presentation to follow.

Masanati said steel erection and more visible construction activity will begin in January and praised the project team and Gilbane for their attention to worker safety, scheduling and community engagement; she noted the team conducted a recent food drive and coordinated daily safety moments. The committee emphasized that cold‑weather work has been anticipated in the schedule and that the project remains on track despite some seasonal slip time that was already factored into the plan.

No formal votes were taken on the construction update; staff said a fuller project team presentation will be scheduled in January when the GMP is available.
