How much was originally budgeted for the auditorium sprinklers?
Why weren't all the required sprinklers included in the bid?
Both excellent questions to ask President Cappucci.
As president and also on the high school project, she would know the answer. Good luck with that.
I have updated the list of change orders. We have now passed the $3,000,000 mark.

Elaine: We are now over $4million if we include the sleight-of-hand designations of "capital" items that belong in the renovation budget.....
Wasn't the maximum contingency financing for change orders for the entire project $4.0-$4.5 million ?
Although the projects overall contract schedule calls for total completion in 12 months or by end-March, 2015, I think the project is at least 3 months behind schedule.
Any bets on cost and/or completion time overruns ? The District will not willingly admit to either, regardless.
Yes, 11:03 PM, I believe you are correct. The crown jewel built to lure unsuspecting newcomers, increase the value of our homes, and for the kids will have cost overruns. Gee, why does that sound vaguely familiar?

The contingency fund started at $4,267,000. Deducting $16,361 from the "Change orders for April 2014" list (for reimbursement through insurance), and pending verification of the other change order numbers, $3,035,949 (rounded) have been spent to date. This represents 71% of the contingency fund. While the number of change orders per month seems to be diminishing, the rate of spending is such that, if sustained, the contingency fund will be exhausted before the project is completed.
It will be interesting to see what the District will do when they run out of money.
The District will accelerate their deferral of some project expenditures to an undesignated post completion time period, and transfer additional project capital items to the annual capital expenditures list
Come on... The School Board will RAISE taxes by 20 times what is needed and SPEND IT building their newest dream of a indoor football/soccer/lacrosse field. The School Board works for the Union NOT us! Get used to it... They are here to stay now.
Is there a way to demand an outside audit? Especially if there are cost overruns that put this disaster over what should have been voted on. Wonder how the Press would handle this? Maybe a shot of "Shame" is needed BEFORE they give the teachers union the account numbers of all the township bank accounts.
Not necessarily, 4:57 PM. They will RAISE taxes by 20 times and close an elementary school and convert it to an indoor football/soccer/lacrosse field if Stacey Franklin gets her way, as Dave outlined in the SAB meeting. And we all know whatever the Franklins want, the Franklins get.

Which school will be closed? Are they going to bus kids then?
Elaine I've heard Brumfield talk about an indoor field for years. Most of us just thought it was talk from a BSer.
You should remove the $16,361 from your sidebar, or else add a balancing negative amount to account for additional revenue from the insurance. I'll check back in a few weeks to learn if you are honest.
Thank you, 8:15 AM. I will indicate the revenue from the insurance as it comes in. See item number 73.
I don't think I am the one you should be concerned about when it comes to honesty.
Elaine
Well done, thank you.
