High-school FF&E and tech numbers reported; server quote over $100,000 prompts urgent review
Summary
Project staff reported FF&E at $4,124,618.94 and technology at $1,966,305.24, leaving a roughly $20,000 net delta; committee members raised an urgent concern about town/server capacity with quotes for additional server work exceeding $100,000 and asked that the issue come to the PBC within two weeks.
Presenter (S3) provided the project's final equipment and tech totals: "our we've we ended up with, $4,124,618.94 for FFNE," S3 said, and reported technology at $1,966,305.24. S3 added that technology came in about $82,000 over budget while FF&E was roughly $59,000 under, leaving a net delta of approximately $20,000.
The committee discussed a separate but related problem: town server capacity. S3 said recent quotes to upgrade town/server capacity to support new-school systems have been over $100,000, and members debated whether the cost is a town-wide infrastructure need or a requirement created by the new high school. The committee directed staff to schedule an expedited review with Todd, Frank and Jason, to have Jason confirm technical needs and to bring a recommendation to the PBC meeting in two weeks so procurement and budget implications can be resolved.
