Board reviews Washington School referendum bids, notes winter heating emergency
Summary
The Saddle Brook Board of Education discussed awarding two referendum projects at Washington School, a prior change order and an emergency winter-break heating-pipe repair. Board officials said bid reviews and security upgrade quotes are pending and will be on the Wednesday agenda.
The Saddle Brook Board of Education on Monday reviewed two referendum projects tied to Washington School and discussed recent emergency repair work there.
The business administrator said the district was prepared to award two referendum-related bids listed on the agenda and noted a prior change order involving Washington School. He also described emergency work completed over winter break after a heating pipe burst in a Washington School classroom, saying the repair was done to restore building heat.
Mr. Arella, who will lead facilities and operations at Wednesday’s session, said the facility-use report would be posted by the next day and that the district is collecting quotes for related work. The business administrator said the district is awaiting quotes and will recommend action at the Wednesday meeting or move the items to February if more time is needed.
The board did not take public action on the awards during the session; the agenda listed the bids and change-order items for consideration at the next meeting.
Background: the agenda referenced items #57 and #58 as the two referendum bids for Washington School, item #59 as a prior change order and item #60 as the emergency heating repair completed over winter break. Details on contract amounts and the specific contractors were not specified in the public discussion.
Next step: the board expects to review quotes and bring recommendations at the next meeting for formal action.
