PBC Meeting Minutes 12 May 2011 Meeting 4.0 Bridge &Bowman Renovation Projects 4.4 LEED Certification 12/14/10 The Project Architects outlined that LEED certification was not considered to be viable given the scope and nature of the proposed work at Bridge and Bowman and recommended against pursuing the certification. The School Principals' thought that the funding for LEED pursuits could be better suited to go towards items that will effect programming or educational issues. 4/14/11 LEED was discussed and it was agreed that work should focus on energy aspects and incorporate into the specs those items that can be incorporated in the spirit of LEED. Further that the last part of the last sentence of the LEED Ltr from DPC dated 23 November 2010, should be followed.... "... we suggest designing all systems within the current scope to a standard that would be required for LEED Certification but not add additional scope solely for the purposes of achieving certification." And report back on what measures are being done. 4.5 Proiect Direction 12/14/10 With the School Committees support of pursuing increased funding to expand the base scope of the project discussion ensued on the paths of the project and if and how work could continue until the spring town meeting. The DPC suggested a fee increase would be warranted in the area of $280,000 to accommodate the increased scope. Multiple scenarios were discussed concerning what scope items could continue, scheduling paths and what work could be continued contractually.
