MSBA accepting school building proposals

January 14, 2016

The Massachusetts School Building Authority is now accepting Statements of Interest for consideration in 2016.
 
Submitting an SOI is the critical first step in the MSBA’s program for school building construction, addition/renovation, and repair grants. It allows districts to inform the authority about deficiencies that may exist in a local school facility and how those deficiencies inhibit the delivery of the district’s educational program.
 
The SOI closing date for districts submitting for consideration under the Accelerated Repair Program (ARP), which is primarily for the repair and/or replacement of windows, roofs and/or boilers in an otherwise structurally sound facility, is Feb. 12.
 
The SOI closing date for districts submitting for consideration under the CORE Program, which is primarily for projects beyond the scope of ARP, including extensive repairs, renovations, addition/renovations, and new school construction, is April 8.
 
The MSBA is continuing with the process introduced last year by which districts will be able to assign their own district user access to the MSBA’s SOI System. Superintendents will be asked to complete a District Access Form, which is available on the MSBA’s website.
