Committee backs $210,000 revision for middle-school lighting control upgrade
Summary
After learning contractor quotes omitted parts, the finance committee approved moving forward with a revised $210,000 capital reserve expenditure to replace the middle-school lighting control system.
The finance committee agreed Aug. 25 to proceed with a revised capital-reserve funding request of $210,000 to address the middle-school lighting control system. Finance staff told the committee that original work estimates and a prior $120,000 authorization did not include parts; corrected bids indicate the full labor-and-parts price will be higher.
Colin Walsh explained the miscommunication: the contractor's bid covered labor, while the district had expected to buy parts separately. Walsh said the electrical engineer's estimate of about $250,000 supports the revised $210,000 proposal as reasonable for the required work. A committee member moved to proceed with the revised request and the committee proceeded to a voice vote on the motion.
