The Operations Committee of the Mineral Point Unified School District reviewed an initial 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 relocating a smoke detector.
To balance timeliness and fiscal responsibility, committee members recommended obtaining a second estimate and proposed setting a maximum project budget of $65,000, including contingency funds, with hopes of finishing the work between the end of the school year and the start of summer school. The committee recorded its recommendation by a 3-0 vote.
The committee did not record a mover or seconder for the recommendation in the minutes. Next steps noted were to solicit a second contractor estimate and return the item, with cost comparisons, to the board or a subsequent meeting for final approval.
