Board approves $8.5 million first-phase roof replacement at Westwood schools
Summary
The Westfield-Washington Schools board approved a first-phase contract amendment for roof replacement and repair at Westwood Intermediate and Westwood Middle School, recorded in the transcript as $8,499,896, to address long-standing leaks and make the building envelopes watertight.
The Westfield-Washington Schools board approved a first-phase contract price amendment to replace or repair portions of roofs at Westwood Intermediate and Westwood Middle School, the board announced during its meeting.
Brian Kelly, the presenter, said the district relied on roofing assessments performed in 2020 and follow-up inspections with the company that conducted that work (Moisture Management). He told the board some roof sections have exceeded their service life and there have been "a number of leaks," so the recommended phase 1 envelope work will make the buildings watertight before interior construction continues.
"This will correct that," Kelly said, and he recommended proceeding with the work. The recommendation presented a cost of $8,499,896.
The Chair moved to approve the first incremental phase of the progress/design-build report (first contract price amendment), and Kelly seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; the chair announced the motion passed. The transcript records the voice vote but does not provide a roll-call tally.
The transcript indicates the work is part of a phased approach with performance services handling broader project work; specific contract numbers, funding sources, and project timelines were not recorded in the transcript.
The approved action covers envelope repair and replacement to limit interior work delays; the transcript does not specify a construction schedule or estimated completion dates.
