District to propose vendor for Fort Dorchester High School strength-training classroom; completion targeted late spring
Summary
District staff said they prequalified three vendors and will propose one vendor for a roughly 5,000 sq ft strength-training classroom and associated learning space at Fort Dorchester High School; staff projected contractor completion in late spring next year and will include the vendor and amount in tonight’s board packet for a vote.
The North Dorchester School District 2 facilities team told the facilities committee on June 22 that they have prequalified three vendors for a Fort Dorchester High School strength‑training classroom and have finalized construction documents and pricing. Staff said a single vendor will be proposed in the board packet for the board to consider and that the project will add roughly 5,000 square feet of strength‑training space while repurposing some existing weight‑training areas for fine‑arts classrooms.
Tony and Jeff of the facilities team described the preferred layout, noted roll‑up garage doors at the new bays and said the construction timeline in the contractor pricing projects late‑spring completion next year. Staff asked the committee to accept the vendor recommendation into the confidential vendor/amount section of the packet so the board can vote on the contract in the board meeting that follows the facilities session.
The committee did not record a final vendor award in the facilities meeting transcript provided; staff said the vendor and pricing will appear in the board packet and be brought before the full board for approval. If approved, construction would follow the vendor’s schedule and staff will report back to the facilities committee on progress and occupancy.
