Waterbury Development Corporation seeks authorization to replace Bucks Hill Elementary roof at about $1.0M
Summary
WDC asked the board for a project authorization letter to manage a roof replacement at Bucks Hill Elementary estimated at $1,000,071.02 and to hire an architect to design and bid the work for potential contractor hire in January 2027.
Waterbury Development Corporation requested a project authorization letter to manage a roof replacement at Bucks Hill Elementary School. "The roof has outlived its expectancy, and we have an estimated cost of $1,000,071.02," said Robert Dowd of WDC.
WDC told the board the next step is to hire an architect to prepare construction documents and solicit competitive bids. The timeline provided anticipates hiring a contractor in January with construction set for summer 2027 if approvals proceed. Commissioners asked about scheduling the roof work relative to planned air-conditioning installations; WDC said the RFP will require architects to identify mechanical equipment on roofs and protect warranties during replacement.
The board did not take a separate final vote on authorizing procurement during the workshop; the item was presented as a project authorization request to be processed through standard approval channels.
