Wakefield Memorial High School Working Group advances multiple design and budget items toward full committee review. The group recommended four floor-prep change order requests totaling $19,127 and a $260,648.70 server and storage infrastructure upgrade for the high school, requiring monthly recurring charges of $1,615.96, though the Working Group expressed reservations about the speed of approval and requested input from PBC member Jason Cohen on the technology quote. Ongoing work includes design refinements for Beasley Oval seating (two options offering 331 total spots), Wiley Street pedestrian access improvements, and pricing for Landrigan Field turf replacement.
The group also continued coordination with town DPW on upper parking lot damage repairs.
