Whitman Middle School Building Committee - June 23, 2026 Meeting.

The Whitman Middle School Building Committee held a meeting on June 23, 2026, to discuss ongoing construction progress, financial updates, and procurement decisions related to the new middle school building project. Key procurement actions included approval of change order number eight for $236,273.83 and an amendment to AI3's contract for $33,180 to cover design services for culvert replacement. The committee also approved a not-to-exceed amount of $1,587,163.60 for additional site work related to drainage and culvert replacement, emphasizing the importance of addressing aging infrastructure to avoid future costly repairs. Several invoices were approved, including payments to Colliers Project Leaders and Fontaine Brothers totaling over $4.6 million. The committee discussed budget status, noting that despite some increased costs, the project remains under budget due to contingency funds. Planning for the upcoming move into the new building and related logistics was also addressed, with suggestions to form a working group to coordinate the transition. The meeting concluded with scheduling the next meeting and adjournment.
