Elementary School Building Committee

The Elementary School Building Committee met on October 20, 2026 (the metadata lists October 21) regarding the Charleswood School project. The committee unanimously approved Change Order No. 4 for Hayden Row street work, including temporary paving needed because utility-pole removal was delayed. The discussion cited a budget change of $200,769.75, but the vote was reported as approving $148,575.50. A monthly invoice package that included Perkins Eastman, J.H. Lynch & Sons, Great Builders, and Comcast was presented, and a motion to approve was made; the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. The reported package total and some invoice figures are garbled.

The construction update reported the project remains within its overall budget of $158,422,394, with commitments at about 77%, expenditures of approximately $81.6 million, and more than $25 million in contingency beyond the amounts budgeted for furniture, equipment, technology, and security. The team is developing RFPs for those items, targeting issuance by year-end; officials said the budgets remain adequate. Updates also covered building and site progress, schedule tracking, and stormwater follow-up. No other procurement decisions were clearly recorded.
