THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district plans to renovate Gaston STEM Leadership Academy so pre-kindergarten students can attend on-site instead of at the closed Squire Elementary. DPI engineers have provided renovation suggestions and an RFQ with an estimated cost of $1,500,000 was sent to over 30 design-build firms, yielding three qualified respondents. Administration is asking the Board to partner with Centrix and then have Therrington & Smith draft a contract. This is a live capital project funded from the state Lottery Repair and Renovation Fund, with contract terms and implementation still to be finalized.
Three design-build companies responded to the RFQ and were interviewed; Centrix is the recommended partner but contract details are pending Board approval.
