The initial work proposed in this request will establish the basis for a more detailed discussion of the school capital plan in the summer and fall of 2015. The study results are critical for policy makers to have a fully-informed debate on the construction components of the capital plan. The details of these projects are subject to change based on the results of the work funded by this request. The initial proposed work and preliminary estimated costs of each project break down as follows. These estimates from SMMA were derived using a simple cost formula plus a 20% contingency. They convey the order of magnitude for the proposals, not a detailed design and engineering analysis.
