The Bridal School Building Committee on Feb. 10 approved a package of January vendor invoices, several purchase orders and a contractor change order as part of the ongoing Norwood school construction project.

Committee members voted unanimously to accept the vendor invoice package for January totaling $4,021,021.47, and to approve the meeting minutes from Jan. 13. The committee also approved a purchase order for teacher laptops and authorized up to $25,000 for new school radios. In addition, the committee approved WT Bridal Change Order Number 17 in the amount of $17,946.

Why it matters: These approvals release funds and authorize purchases needed to keep construction and transition activities on schedule as the project approaches substantial completion in early June.
