Capital
project bids awarded
At its July 29 special meeting, the Board of Education
awarded bids totaling $12.8 million for the capital construction
project approved by school district voters in February, 2008.
Putrelo Building
Enterprises Inc. was awarded the general construction contract in
the amount of $6.7 million. Additionally, Putrelo received alternate
awards of $9,000 for window covering treatment and $36,000 for wall
tile work in Harry Hoag Elementary School.
Central New York Construction was awarded the contract for site work
in the amount of $1,669,500 plus alternates of $112,000 to resurface
the running track and $28,690 for additional drainage work at Harry
Hoag Elementary School.
The school board awarded other
bids as follows:
• Roofing: S & L Roofing and Sheetmetal, Inc., $1,549,000
• Electrical: Schenectady Hardware & Electrical Co., Inc.,
$1,330,000
• Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning: DiGesare Mechanical,
Inc., $868,000
• Plumbing: Merit Plumbing & Heating LLC, $477,000
Superintendent of Schools Douglas Burton said that even
with the alternates, the total bids came in about $200,000 under the
projected total construction cost.
The project includes a new transportation
facility; a number of educational, structural and energy
improvements at Harry Hoag; reconfigured traffic loop and parking at
Hoag; a three-room addition at the Junior/Senior High School; and
replacement of the West Street steps.
One interesting aspect of roof repair and construction
at each school is the inclusion of solar panels that will be
anchored to the steel in the roofs. These panels will not only
enable the district to reduce its energy costs, but will also be
used as a teaching tool in science classrooms. Students will be able
to monitor the panels via computer to observe and measure how well
the panels are working.
