Board transfers $75,000 to finish Avon High partial roof replacement
Summary
Facing higher-than-expected bids, the Board moved $75,000 from a completed Pine Grove School project to cover a shortfall and allow the Avon High partial roof replacement to proceed this summer.
The Board of Finance approved a transfer of $75,000 from the completed Pine Grove School notification alarm project to the Avon High School partial roof replacement to cover a bid shortfall and allow work to proceed this summer.
Finance Director Tom DiStasio said FY25 and FY26 appropriations together left about $480,000 for the roof work, but bids came in near $544,000 leaving a shortfall (about $64,000). To avoid delaying the project into another fiscal year and facing higher costs, the board approved transferring $75,000 from the completed Pine Grove project. On a motion by Cathy Salchert, seconded by Carl Gisnarian, the motion carried with all voting in favor.
The transfer was framed as a timing and cost-avoidance measure; the finance director said completing the work this summer would prevent further inflation of construction costs.
