Lowell School Building Committee approves BRR 5 soft‑cost transfer on 16‑yes roll call
Summary
The Lowell City School Building Committee voted to approve BRR 5 (a soft‑cost transfer post BRR 4) by a roll‑call vote that recorded 16 'Yes' responses; the committee set its next meeting for June 25.
At its May 21 meeting the Lowell City School Building Committee approved BRR 5, a soft‑cost transfer related to the project budget post BRR 4. The Chair called for a roll‑call vote; clerks called members and 16 members answered 'Yes' and the Chair announced the vote passes.
The motion was recorded on the meeting agenda as "Vote BRR 5 soft cost transfer post BRR 4." No dissenting votes or abstentions were recorded during the roll call. The vote was captured on a roll call that listed members present and their recorded responses.
The committee was told the BRR 5 vote relates to internal soft‑cost accounting within the larger $418,000,000 project budget. Committee members will receive follow‑up documentation and the committee will reconvene on June 25 at 6 p.m. in the mayor's reception room.
Why it matters: BRR adjustments move soft‑costs (professional fees, FF&E transfers and similar items) between budget categories and can affect where contingency and allowance dollars are allocated; the committee flagged continued monitoring of contingency and change‑order impacts.
