Superintendent flags delays on $25M project, outlines $14M next steps
Summary
Superintendent J. Reimer told the Board that the $25 million Capital Improvement Project continues to experience delays, the Certificate of Substantial Completion may not arrive by year-end, and the district is planning phased submissions and reserve usage for a proposed $14 million project.
Superintendent J. Reimer told the Board that the $25 million Capital Improvement Project has faced repeated delays; rooms expected to be turned over have required additional punch-list work and he was skeptical the Certificate of Substantial Completion would be issued by the end of December. He said the district will not occupy spaces before work is fully complete to avoid inheriting contractor issues.
Reimer also discussed phasing and funding plans for a proposed $14 million capital project, including potential incidental costs and change orders. He said the administration aims to submit materials to NYSED in a phased manner—elementary submission first, then central building and high school—with a target timeline to request bids in March–April and approve in May. He characterized district finances as "in a good spot" but noted a likely modest use of fund balance and the need to draw on reserves tied to these capital efforts.
