The consensus of the PBC believes this is reaching too far as policy and would like to see some goals to send to the BOS. Philip Coleman left meeting at 8:05 pm 4. DiNisco School Projects Update Ken DiNisco presented a PowerPoint presentation on Multiple School Construction Projects. The presentation included discussion on (a.) educational program overview and discussions with Principals (b) validate existing conditions with principals, (c) develop program uses as identified in the Consensus Plan, (d) Site evaluation sheets, (e) and other critical factors including property lines, setbacks, conservation land and wetlands. Mr. DiNisco also reviewed the Pre-K potential sites, which included Hastings, Harrington Elementary School (Harrington), Laconia Street and Worthen Road sites. Kate Colburn inquired whether additional toilets would be needed if enrollment dropped to 520 at Bridge & Bowman also Ms. Colburn is concerned with which enrollment projection line the design team is following and if there is flexibility built into the process. Ken DiNisco responded that DiNisco Design need to be careful about not deviating from scope they have been assigned from the consensus plan but overall flexibility was key. All agreed that pre-fab location need to be thought out so as not to be placed where we want brick and mortar. Mr. DiNisco then reviewed the project costs and schedule, which include July summit meeting; October special town meeting and July 2016 expect to go forward with prefab units. The Goal is to have by December or January procurement for prefab unit. Paul Kalous is comfortable providing solid cost estimates for the work defined in each of the schemes thus far his only concern is assigning a reasonable value for annual increases of future work. Paul noted that that Jon has been instrumental to provide assistance on the weighting of the site evaluation sheets and that Jon is looking to get more input from rest of the committee on how to develop this form. Currently when a value is assigned to one of the categories it causes a red or green/ good or bad rating which needs to be further weighted. Jon is looking to get more input from rest of the committee on how to further develop this form.
