A PPROPRIATION C OMMITTEE S PECIAL T OWN M EETINGS 2017-2 & 3 O CTOBER 10, 2017 <br /> <br />MSBA Reimbursement <br />Construction costs for the new school, including site work, are projected to be approximately $52,900,000, <br />or $482 per sq. ft. The MSBA reimbursement represents 35.79% of not more than $46,200,000 in construc- <br />tion costs. The basis of the MSBA reimbursement excludes legal fees, site costs in excess of 8% of the total <br />building cost, construction costs in excess of $326 per sq. ft. plus eligible demolition and abatement costs, <br />other miscellaneous ineligible construction costs, costs associated with mailing and moving, costs in excess <br />of the $1,200 per student allowance for fixtures, furniture, and equipment, costs in excess of the $1,200 per <br />student allowance for technology, amounts. <br />Building emissions and energy use <br />The new Hastings is being designed for both excellent building air quality and low lifecycle energy costs. <br />Although these two goals tend to oppose each other, the design achieves a good compromise, in part by <br />employing geothermal wells for heating and cooling, at a cost premium of $2,200,000 over a conventional <br />air-cooled chiller and condensing boiler plant. The site energy consumption by end-use at Hastings is pro- <br />jected to be 24.1 kBTU/SF-yr EUI (energy use index, in kBTU per sq.ft. per year), compared to 39.7 <br />kBTU/SF-yr for the conventional HVAC system. The savings reflect primarily more efficient space heat- <br />ing. For comparison, historical EUIs at other Lexington elementary schools are 54.8 kBTU/SF-yr at Es- <br />tabrook, 48.4 at Harrington, and 39.3 at Fiske which employs geothermal heating. These numbers do not <br />take on-site solar panel energy generation into account. The new building will have the capacity to install <br />rooftop and parking lot canopy solar panels that could potentially generate as much as 901,977 kWhr/yr. <br />The Debt Exclusion Referendum <br />The Board of Selectmen has voted 4-1 to present a motion under this article in which the appropriation is <br />contingent on approval of a Proposition 2½ debt exclusion referendum to be held in late November or early <br />December. <br />Should the debt exclusion be approved, property taxes will be higher than otherwise allowed under Propo- <br />sition 2½ for the life of the debt. Annual debt service payments for the new Hastings are projected to reach <br />$3,572,415 in FY2021, and to decrease in later years. Some of the excluded debt service may be covered <br />through mitigation transfers from the Capital Stabilization Fund. See the discussion in the Introduction. <br />The Committee recommends approval of this request (7-0-2). <br /> <br />Article 2016-2.3: Appropriate Design Funds for Lexington Children's Place/20 <br />Pelham Road <br /> <br />$2,500,000 Excluded Debt Approve (7-0-2) <br />This article seeks $2,500,000 for design, engineering and architectural services for the proposed new Lex- <br />ing 18,850 square feet of floor area and 7 classrooms, is estimated to cost around $15M. <br />The LCP provides services to preschool children (ages 2 years 9 months to 5 years old), including children <br />with special needs who qualify under the state mandate for free educational services, and children without <br />special needs whose families pay tuition. The LCP currently shares space in the Harrington School and in <br />the old Harrington School building where the School Central Office (CO) is located. As of the end of the <br />2016-2017 school year, LCP had an enrollment of 81 students, of which 41 students attended one slot per <br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />
