MOTION to authorize the Permanent Municipal Building Committee (PMBC) to  
1.  
increase the bid amount for the Gales Ferry School and Juliet W. Long School roofing  
projects to $50.00 per square foot to account for inflation.  
In addition, the Permanent Municipal Building Committee may, with Town Council  
approval, modify the scope of the “Various School Improvement Projects” to include  
the replacement of the roofs at the Central Office, Gales Ferry School, and Juliet W.  
Long School; installation of solar equipment at Gales Ferry School and Juliet W. Long  
School; upgrades to the building management systems at Gales Ferry School; and  
electrical and HVAC upgrades at Juliet W. Long School) to stay within the authorized  
amount $6,725,000, as approved by the townspeople at the February 22, 2022  
town-wide referendum.  
Also, the Town Council acknowledges that the Town of Ledyard is aware that the State  
of Connecticut notified the Board of Education that the State would only provide a  
reimbursement rate of 75% for the cost of the Gales Ferry School roof. This reduction in  
State grant reimbursement was based the State’s record that the school was not accepted  
until 2006, although the Gales Ferry School project was completed in 1999; therefore,  
the school did not meet the State’s the 20-year criteria for full reimbursement.
