CONWAY — The price of new windows to replace the 551 in the 14-year-old Kennett High School is going up, and it could approach $1.5 million according to the Conway School Board’s Joe Mosca, who chairs the board’s facilities committee.

The board learned last month that all of the windows need to be replaced since the current ones have become brittle and are falling apart. The facilities committee recommended to the board on June 22 to award a four-phase, a four-year project for $937,400 to Granite State Glass for the work, but since the committee did not put the project out to bid, which it needs to do under the school board’s policy, the board balked at the request. Instead, members voted 6-1 (Mosca in the minority) to send the proposal back to the facilities committee for it to draft specifications for the project and then put it out to bid.

if these windows only lasted 14 years and they are falling apart the contractor that installed them originally should replace them free of charge. If Conway did not get a replacement warranty then shame on whoever accepted the original bid!! I was involed in both residetial and commercial building for over 50 years and this is making no sense to me!!
