4. Clarke Stair Discussion Discussion on a prior request to price the savings of moving the main entry stair on the site and reducing the size or configuration of the canopy over the stair. PBC had prepared sketches showing the work and Bond was to prepare an estimate. Bond / DiNisco advised that a real estimate was not complete at this time and that they were still working on developing the costs. • PBC asked if the canopy has been pulled back. DiNisco stated "Yes" and the credit estimate at this time on the canopy was approximately $10,000 - $15,000. • PBC was unhappy that a full price was not estimated yet and that several members felt the overall entry way was not appealing, further that they felt costs in the neighborhood of $100,000 were being spent on the current design and that savings could be realized and appropriated more effectively inside the classrooms. • There was continued discussion on design approach to the stair location. Covering the stairs or not, safety, circulation etc. • There was additional discussion about the appropriate time in the process to weigh in on issues in the design, such as this. • The PBC ended the discussion with general consensus that the stair design issue be brought to the school committee and they should consider the stair & canopy changes and to realize what ever costs savings might come from it. 7.
