Board hires Coppa-Montalbano for ECC expansion; project estimate $359,550
Summary
The Woodland Park Board approved hiring Coppa-Montalbano Architects to prepare state facilities application for ECC classroom expansion, authorizing a $31,200 fee and estimating total project costs at $359,550 to be funded from Capital Reserve. Plans will be submitted to the local Planning Board and state education facilities review.
The Woodland Park Board of Education voted April 14 to engage Coppa-Montalbano Architects to prepare and submit a facilities project application to the New Jersey Department of Education for an ECC Classroom Expansion Project. The contract lists a fee of $31,200 and an estimated project cost of $359,550; the resolution states the project will be funded through the district’s Capital Reserve.
Board members moved the finance item as part of the regular finance agenda and approved the measure by roll call (7 YES). The board also authorized submission of the renovation plans to the Woodland Park Planning Board and indicated subsequent state-level facilities review will follow. No public timeline for construction was provided at the meeting, and a parent commented earlier in the meeting questioning the use of Capital Reserve funds prior to property acquisition.
Next steps include plan review at the local Planning Board and the Department of Education’s facilities approval process. The facilities application and plan submission were authorized immediately after the finance motion passed.
