February 16, 2011 13a: $280k to expand scope of Bridge and Bowman School renovation: Four additional classrooms will be created within the existing footprint of each school - 2 classrooms will replace the existing boiler room which will be relocated externally and 2 classrooms will be created by reconfiguring current space including offices. A higher - end HVAC system than originally contemplated will be recommended based on a total life cycle costing approach; it will cost $1 m up front but save on utility and maintenance costs over the long -term. Upon a successful debt exclusion vote early next year, work would begin in the spring or summer of 2012. 13b: $1.25m for the Estabrook School feasibility and related street access improvements: There will be a feasibility study and a design effort. The intent is to put a new school in the flat area behind the current building, leave PCB contamination in place while the school is built, and demolish the old building when the new building is ready. The plan is to have the new school built by 2014. There will also be work to improve Robinson Road. If the project is approved in a debt exclusion referendum, there would be at least a 31 % reimbursement for this project. There was discussion on the timing of the debt exclusion vote and MSBA's approval as well as regarding roadway width and sidewalks. 13c: $1.2m for School Building Envelope and Systems: It is anticipated that the same amount will be requested in each of the next 5 years; $300k will be set aside to replace systems in the schools, $250k for typical building envelope projects such as caulking, fixing sagging soffits, removal of broken panels, and $50k for addressing other needs. 13d: $645k in total for School Improvement Projects: This will be voted as one dollar amount to give flexibility in the implementation. 13e: Clarke Middle School Paving Improvements: A map was shown for a design to improve and extend traffic flow. 13f: Lexington High School Roof Repairs: Includes completing field house, world language building and 2/3 of math building and is eligible for reimbursement from MSBA at 33.9 %. 13g: $75k Hastings School Playground Expansion: For equipment and installation geared toward older children. 13h: School Paving Program: For central administration, connection at Diamond and school pick -up and drop -off areas. 13i: Diamond Middle School Extraordinary Repair 13j: Municipal Building Envelope and Systems -3-
