The Operations Committee of the Mineral Point Unified School District reviewed a contractor estimate of approximately $50,000 to convert an elementary guide space into a classroom. The estimate covered construction, electrical work, drywall, window and door installation, and smoke detector relocation; the committee said it hoped to complete work between the end of the school year and the start of summer school.
To ensure fiscal responsibility, committee members recommended obtaining a second estimate and proposed setting a maximum project budget of $65,000, including contingency funding. The recommendation was recorded 3-0; individual votes were not specified in the minutes. Staff were directed to seek a second estimate and return project cost information to the committee for final authorization.
Next steps include soliciting a second contractor estimate and confirming a construction timeline that would not conflict with summer school programming. The committee framed the decision as a preliminary spending cap and requested a future staff report with firm cost estimates and a recommended funding source.
