Building Committee Meeting

The Coventry RI Public Schools Building Committee met on November 6, 2026, to review facilities projects and capital planning. The middle school roof replacement was about 60% complete and tracking within budget; a possible change order may be needed to raise or adjust a gas line, with pricing not yet available. High school sprinkler work was progressing toward the contract deadline of December 20, with testing and inspection pending and a change order for exterior canopies awaiting contractor pricing. Paving associated with the wastewater connection was underway. The committee also reported that the Western well RFP had one local bidder, whose proposal was received; drilling is expected after approval, with a separate RFP for the piping system planned for spring. No award or procurement vote was reported.

The committee discussed preparing an RFP for high school auditorium lighting and sound work, including electrical upgrades. A draft capital project list covering items such as ADA sidewalk access, athletic fields, playground equipment, and classroom furniture was being prioritized for upcoming budget planning, using potential bond, capital, and impact-fee funding. Repairs for auditorium water damage were described as expected to be covered by the responsible party’s insurance, subject to adjuster approval. No budget or procurement motions were taken; the committee approved prior meeting minutes and later voted to adjourn.
