HIGHLAND REBIDDING RECONSIDERED — Following a controversial decision last month to wait several months before opening the Highland Building stabilization project to rebid, the Highland Building Committee has changed its position and is redrafting its request for proposals this month. The committee’s goals are to set a bidding deadline for August and to present the School Committee with a recommendation at the first meeting of the school year in September. The earlier decision was made after the committee received only one bid on the project, but further discussion and input from townspeople prompted the committee to avoid further delay. The committee is making changes to the proposal to make the project more attractive to bidders, including changing the anticipated time frame from 12 to 20 weeks. — Nancy Shohet West
