Honeoye board and contractors outline capital project design schedule and 5–6 month state review pause
Summary
Board members and facilities staff reported completion of design development work with architects and construction managers, warned of a 5–6 month quiet period while the New York State Office of Facilities reviews submissions, and said community outreach will resume when budget details are available.
Board members and project staff updated the community on the district's capital improvement project, describing a lengthy design review and state approval process.
A facilities subcommittee member said the team spent the day with the architect and construction manager reviewing hundreds of pages of drawings and text, and that those materials must be submitted to the New York State Office of Facilities for review. "There'll be a 5 to 6 month window, from March this year towards the summer...where it'll be pretty quiet here because the state will be reviewing," the speaker said. (Speaker: Facilities staff)
The superintendent and project leads said the district will invite community members to review plans and will provide an update "on or around February" when they have more information on the budget and what will or will not be included in the initial construction phase. They noted the project scope is larger than anything the district has attempted in the past 20–25 years and that some items may be postponed or change as designs are finalized and state reviewers request adjustments. (Speakers: Superintendent / facilities subcommittee)
Board members said the construction manager (TAMCO) and architect brought experienced staff; the construction manager anticipates bidding in the fall and construction beginning the following year if state approvals and procurement proceed on schedule. The district plans additional community outreach and a Q&A on the capital project web page to explain review timelines and next steps.
