Carlynton will put Carnegie Elementary renovation out to bid in September
Summary
Superintendent told the board the scaled Carnegie Elementary renovation will be advertised for bids in September, with bids due in October and a board review and likely approval planned for November.
The Carlynton School District plans to advertise the Carnegie Elementary renovation for bid in September, superintendent stated at the Aug. 19 board meeting, with bids expected in October and a November work session and legislative meeting slated for board review and potential approval.
The nut graf: District leaders said the project was reworked and scaled after initial review; they expect construction to proceed after board approval of contractor selection and noted accessible facilities (including a handicapped restroom) remain a priority.
Superintendent described the project as a high priority and said the district refined the scope before re‑bidding last April; Massaro (contract manager) will notify perimeter families of the construction schedule in advance so nearby households can plan for traffic, equipment staging and early‑phase disruptions.
A number of parents at the meeting asked what changes were made to the plan and whether accessible restrooms and other priorities would be preserved. The superintendent said the primary goals remain intact and that bid documents with more scope detail should be available in about two weeks.
What’s next: Bid advertisement in September, bid openings in October, and bid review at the board’s November sessions, with approval expected in November if the board finds the bids acceptable.
Ending: The district said it will share refined scope documents with the community before bidding and will continue outreach to families most directly affected by construction.
