Ridgewood NJ, LAN associates estimate for replacing cubbies like the one in this image in elementary school classrooms is 250$per linear feet plus 13.5% in their fee to design and oversee the work.
Question: Can the schools be creative in this and allocate this 250$ per linear feet as budget and allow the class teacher and HSA to pick the furniture for their classrooms instead of letting the architect do it?
EDIT: not just for cost savings, but also for creativity.
What’s the downside?

LAN Associates provided a document yesterday at the tour of Somerville school, which estimated the projected cost of the referendum FOR Somerville school to be $6,180,410.
This cost is estimated to the last dollar amount, and then during the tour, he mentioned that he is not yet certain which boiler is he going to recommend for Somerville (i.e. standard efficiency or high efficiency). How did LAN arrive at a dollar amount, without those details?

The better technology was rebuffed for the “done deal” with Verizon.
