Superintendent reports strong progress on Mullins Elementary, Westside practice facility in bond update
Summary
Superintendent Henry briefed the board on facility-bond projects: Mullins Elementary floor and ceiling work is nearly complete, Berlin and Piedmont Middle electrical work are ~95% done, Westside practice facility has roofing and masonry work progressing, and the SQP contract carries a $2,500-per-day contingency for delays.
Superintendent Henry provided a comprehensive, information-only update on bond-funded construction projects across the district, highlighting progress at Mullins Elementary and the Westside practice facility.
Henry said floors and ceilings at Mullins are nearly complete, drywall work is substantially finished and crews are working two shifts to keep the project on schedule. "There's a $2,500 a day contingency for SQP for every day," Henry said when discussing contract penalties intended to encourage on-time completion. He reported the Berlin electrical project and Piedmont Middle work are about 95% complete and described coordinated sequencing so roofers and masons could work on different sides of a building simultaneously.
Henry also gave timing details: furniture for the new building was scheduled to arrive August 10 and building-systems training was set for August 20, with the board expecting another progress update at the August 17 meeting. He emphasized ongoing coordination with on-site contractor leadership and district maintenance to keep the projects on track for the start of school.
