Facilities committee recommends New Atlantic preconstruction quote for Forest Hills stadium

The Union County Public Schools Facilities Committee recommended that the full board consider a $388,000 preconstruction and design quote from New Atlantic Contracting for a design‑build project to construct an athletic stadium at Forest Hills High School.

Staff presenter (addressed in the transcript as Miss Imo) told the committee the $388,000 figure covers preconstruction and design fees and that the project would be funded with premium bond funds. "We received a quote from New Atlantic Contracting for $388,000, which represents the preconstruction and design fees associated with the design build project for the athletic stadium at Forest Hills High School," the presenter said.

Committee members asked about how long students would be without athletic facilities; staff said the project will use phased sequencing "to minimize any and all disruption to them for their athletic seasons and or graduation" and that a clearer timeline will be shared once the work begins. The committee then approved a motion to send the proposal to the board for approval; the vote was recorded as 4-0.

The item will advance to the full Board of Education for final action. The transcript does not record further technical details of the full scope, total construction budget or a project schedule beyond staff’s commitment to phased sequencing.
