Summary
Kate Masanati updated the committee that Gilbane crews cleared snow and began re-mobilizing on the South Kingstown High School project; change‑order recommendations were delayed by the storm and the Curtis Corner schematic design will be presented at the next meeting.
Kate Masanati, a member of the South Kingstown School Committee, reported that the school building committee’s scheduled meetings were postponed because of a storm and that change‑order recommendations to seek town‑council approval (for items such as tile and paint) were pushed to the next meeting on March 5.
Masanati said Gilbane and its crews worked through the aftermath of the storm to remove snow and re‑establish site work: “by Wednesday, they were putting up steel and back to work.” She described the storm as a catastrophic event that will require some flexibility in schedule but said the contractor is making efforts to recover time and remain on budget.
Masanati also said the Curtis Corner schematic design will be presented at the next committee meeting, accompanied by the project team that she named as including Lehi Field and Phil Conte’s Studio Jade Group. The committee did not provide a revised completion date or dollar figures in the meeting record.
The committee’s update emphasized progress on site work since the storm and noted that more detailed information about change orders and schedule impacts will be available after upcoming project meetings.
