Summary
The board approved a two-year capital outlay for Northside Elementary hallway flooring, discussed cost-sharing via building aid, and authorized contracts with Campus Construction Management Group and La Bella Associates for 2025 projects, with attorney review and superintendent execution pending.
The Fairport Central School District board approved capital outlay work for Northside Elementary and authorized contracts for campus construction management and architectural services for 2025 capital improvement projects.
District staff explained the Northside work is being handled as two capital outlays across two fiscal years to accelerate flooring replacement in a long hallway and protect bid prices. The district said capital outlay authority allows roughly $100,000 per year (about $93,000 for construction and approximately $7,000 for design/architecture) and that building aid typically reimburses roughly 74%-80% depending on the year.
Board members discussed phasing and bid protection. The board then voted to approve the expenditure and the related contracts. The board authorized the superintendent to execute contracts with Campus Construction Management Group and La Bella Associates, DPC, after review and final approval by the board attorneys.
District staff estimated completing the flooring work by the following August, with payments absorbed across the two fiscal years. Officials said the approach frees up some capital-project dollars and shortens what would otherwise be a multi-year wait for capital outlay funding.
Next steps: final attorney review and execution of contracts; facilities staff to coordinate scheduling so classrooms are available when construction begins.
