Summary

District project manager reported the combined school groundbreaking is complete, site clearing has begun and teacher housing units are in late stages (first house backfilled and being painted, second house framed); RFQ for furniture will be reissued with room‑level specifications and PSFA regional management is changing during the project.

The Maxwell Municipal Schools project manager told the board that construction of the combined school and associated teacher housing is progressing on schedule.

Groundbreaking for the new combined school took place before spring break and was well attended by students and staff. The project manager said construction fencing is in place and ground‑clearing has begun. On the teacher housing project, the first house has completed backfill and interior painting is underway, while the second house has been framed and is being prepared for subsequent phases. The presenter explained that fixtures, furniture and equipment (FF&E) items that are built‑in are included in the contractor scope; non‑attached furnishings will be procured separately. An RFQ for additional furniture lacked sufficient detail, so staff will reissue it with room‑level specifications and expect to invite vendors working under state or regional contracts; bidding is planned in April with a May 7 due date.

Staff also noted PSFA regional management staffing changes: the district will be assigned a new RM after the prior RM left PSFA; an interim point person will cover inspections and recommendations to avoid schedule delays.

Board members asked about completion timing for the housing units and were told both houses are expected to be ready by April, including fencing, landscaping and carports, and that move‑in should follow those final touches.
