Project Description Amount Requested Funding Source Committee Recommends (a) Town -wide Roofing Program $176,400 GF (Debt) Approval (5 -0) "The Central Administration Building's roof has been identified as a priority in the Department of Public Facilities 20 -year Roof Master Plan. FY17 funds are requested to stop water infiltration with a specific focus on the A -framed roof. An internal venting system and external heat tape were installed but have proven ineffective due to significant snow totals. The proposal includes removal of the roof shingles from the front elevation, the addition of an ice and water shield under the new shingles and added venting. In addition to preventing water leaks, ice dams and associated damage, the replacement of the roofing systems may result in the reduction of funds budgeted for emergency roof repairs." [Brown Book, Page XI -8] Project Description Amount Requested Funding Source Committee Recommends (b) School Building Envelopes and Systems Program $215,000 GF (Free Cash) Approval (5 -0) "This project involves performing annual prioritized design, repairs and modifications to prevent deterioration of school building exteriors and building systems. Proper maintenance of school buildings requires continual investment in the building envelope and building systems. This includes but is not limited to repair of damaged panels and siding, re- caulking and weatherproofing windows and doors, repainting the wood exterior and extraordinary repairs to mechanical systems. Small, individual items such as failure of a specific door or window or small painting projects will continue to be funded through the operating budget. FY 2017 will prioritize the Central Administration Building's window repairs and caulking replacement." [Brown Book, Page XI -17] Project Description Amount Requested Funding Source Committee Recommends (c) LHS Heating Systems Upgrade $500,000 GF (Debt) Candidate for Debt Exclusion vote Approval (5 -0) "The 2014 Annual Town Meeting appropriated $75,000 to evaluate options to determine the most cost effective approach to replace HVAC systems at Lexington High School that have operated beyond their life cycles. The analysis presented by the consulting engineers presented several options and the 2015 Annual Town Meeting appropriated $150,000 to fund the design of one of those options. The proposed project includes converting the steam boilers and steam unit ventilators to a highly efficient condensing boiler and hot water distribution system. This FY17 request seeks funds for design development and construction documents as the next step in the process. It is expected that construction funds will be requested at a future Town Meeting. The new HVAC system will improve the educational environment while also making the systems energy efficient, easier to maintain and more reliable." [Brown Book, Page XI -11] The heating system in the main building at the High School is over 60 -years old and beyond its useful life. Modern heating units and controls are needed to provide efficient heating and adequate air - tempering, as well as quiet service suitable for classroom use. While the main building is over 60 years old, it is structurally sound and will likely be in service for many years even after the rest of the High- School complex is renovated /replaced. For these reasons, last year we endorsed the Article funding the first step 53
