# Whitman Middle School Building Committee - September 22, 2026 meeting

The Whitman Middle School Building Committee met on September 22, 2026, to review project funding, construction changes, technology commitments, invoices, and the schedule. Staff reported that an MSBA reimbursement had been received and that approximately $15.54 million remained in the school account; the project was described as tracking within budget. The committee unanimously approved Change Order 12 for $114,715.88, which included a metal-panel upgrade at the concession stand. Members also discussed a moisture-mitigation system for elevated concrete slabs, involving grinding, epoxy, and floor leveling before resilient flooring could be installed. The transcript does not clearly capture the proposed amount or the outcome of the motion to approve that work. The committee approved technology commitments as charges against the existing technology/FF&E budget; members noted that student-device prices had risen about 33% on July 1 and discussed radio-related equipment. Invoices for AI3, Colliers Project Leaders, and Fontaine’s were approved unanimously, though the amounts are unclear in the transcript.

The committee reviewed the project schedule, including substantial completion targeted for December 17, staff training later in December, and a move planned over the holiday period. Moving supplies were discussed, with cardboard boxes estimated at about $5 each versus reusable bins at about $15; no purchasing decision was recorded. The committee also voted to proceed with a bronze dedication plaque design, subject to review of the final shop drawing. No new contract award or vendor selection was clearly recorded.
