An agreement with MA+ Architecture was approved by the Newcastle School Board for work on the Newcastle Elementary School improvements.
The architectural firm’s services, at a cost of $25,000, will include location of underground utilities, design work for widening the existing asphalt loop road along the south side of the site to a threelane road, the new playground area, the outdoor classroom area, the work associated with improvements to the existing north to south sewer system along the classroom buildings, and work associated with the new canopies at the entrance doors along the north side of the school buildings.
MA+ Architecture will develop two separate bid packages: one for the widening and improvements to the south loop, and the second for the improvements at the elementary school site.
During construction, they’ll review the contractor’s submittals, and prepare any change orders, requests for information, and visit the construction site during construction.
