CEC Five-Year Capital Plan (FY2019—FY2023)1 (continued) FOOTNOTES (continued) 4Placekeeper for when the Federal Communications Commission issues an expected directive that requires public-safety radios change to another frequency band. 5Expect this project to have design and contruction to be executed by DPW,as it is their site, but with DPF responsible for the building. 6Funding for feasibility study moved from FY2022 to FY2021 to be on the earliest potential timeline if the Statement of Interest is submitted to the MSBAin calendar year 2019 asrri r" currently contemplated by the Lexington School Committee,and a TBD is added for FY2022 so there are TBDs for both the design and construction funding. 7Renamed to include the Middle Schools as additional capacity enhancements may be needed in them along with the High School. Z 8The FY2019 funding request is being slipped from the 2018 ATM (by Indefinite Postponement) to a planned presentation to a 2019 fall STM.Also, the scope is being reduced by removing the improvement of the Massachusetts Avenue/Woburn Street intersection and making it a separate project planned much later in the period of this Plan—if not beyond. (See the separate placekeeper entry for it in this Plan.) Although the scope has been reduced, this Committee is leaving the dollar amount needed to reach 100% design unchanged. It is now anticipated that, with the removal of that intersection work, there will be two--rather than three—construction phases and there will be a gap year between them. While the revised 25% design's cost estimate is not yet available (it is expected in time to be vetted before that fall STM), this Committee believes a higher cost than n previously presented in this Plan should now be the order-of-magnitude placekeeper amounts and are shown. 0 9 Program has been slipped one year with Indefinite Postponement of the 2018 ATM request to fund the first of three phases in FY2019.The request is now expected to be at the 4 2019 ATM. While awaiting the results of the ongoing study and any vetted cost estimate for the proposed system, this Committee considers these higher dollar amounts are y warranted, although just being order-of-magnitude placekeepers. rn lri 10 Does not include the usually substantial Chapter 90 fundings—now approaching$1 million—expected annually from the State that do not require appropriation. 11 Based on not having completed Design Development and its cost estimate,the construction funding has been slipped to FY2020. 12As it is not known whether the introduction of those two activities (Outdoor Picketball & Cricket)would be accomplished by repurposing existing facilities (thereby replacing an existing use)or by acquistion of new recreation land(an expensive proposition),this Committee has reservations about the plan to effect either of those actions or the total costs to H do so.Therefore,TBDs have been substituted for the$100,000 in FY2021 for Outdoor Pickleball Court Construction and the$200,000 in FY2022 for Cricket Field Construction and 0 running to FY2023 as the priority of providing for those two sports has not been demonstrated to this Committee. oo 13This Committee fully supports this new project having a priority placement for FY2020 funding because of the poor condition of the building and the boardwalk,and the absence of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Further, those factors also warrant the plan for an accelerated execution (i.e., the proposal that all of the design, including H construction/bid documents, is contemplated for the first phase). However, this Committee believes the proposed funding is inadequate for the construction of even just the building and the boardwalk when the Committee feels the whole site should be evaluated for other needs.The construction estimate,therefore, has been increased as a placekeeper. 14As this project has not been included in modeling of future funding needs and,thus, there is no proposed source for the follow-on costs, this Committee removed the FY2019 $250,000 for Schematic Design, the FY2020 $210,000 (taken to be for advancing the design through construction/bid documents, but considered to be insufficient if$250,000 is o needed for Schematic Design),and the FY2021 $21,000,000 for construction. In their place,TBD is entered for FY2021–FY2023 when it may be feasible to have addressed how it F. would be practical to proceed with funding the Schematic Design through Construction/Bid Documents in a consecutive-year approach that is appropriate for such a project. cra 15Added as potential requests to the CPC during the time frame of this Plan. 16Added as expected requests from the CPC during the time frame of this Plan. CD CA 17This Committee is evenly split(3-3)on whether to support any construction funding at this Annual Town Meeting (i.e., the$4,375,000 included in the$4,575,000), but has not yet Rt taken a position on that same construction amount if it were to be presented at a fall 2017 Special Town Meeting; therefore, the total amount is shown as the FY2019 t31 Recommended.
