PBC Meeting Minutes 08 December 2011 Meeting DPC reported that a background noise monitoring & modeling effort was completed. Currently the consultant is evaluating options on how to achieve compliance with noise ordinance as well as goal of no change to background. Currently there is an allowance of $25,000 per school in the indirect costs to cover future noise abatement if needed. 10/13/11 PBC discussed and elected to direct DPC to make provisions structurally, for future sound abatement screens at new roof top u n its. The Issue of meeting the code requirements which allows for a set increase in background noise levels or having no change in background levels was discussed although no formal decision was made. 12/8/11 See item 4.26 below. 4.26 Roof Top Unit screening 11/2/11 It was reported that the roof top hvac equipment would be larger than originally anticipated and could be 18 inches to 2 feet taller. There was some concern expressed over the aesthetics of the larger units and the overall view of the school to the public, notwithstanding any sound abatement concerns. Various options for screening and placement of support structure for future screening was discussed. Currently six units suspected of a need for screening based on sound abatement were modified to include roof reinforcing for future screen panels. It was discussed to increase this count to 10 to include units where screens may be desired for aesthetics as well, however this motion was not acted upon, leaving just the original 6 locations 12/8/11 This issue was again discussed and the PBC elected to request a unit price be added to the bid submission for adding the steel support to other RTU locations if the town elected to do so during construction. 4.27 Town Meeting 11/2/11 PBC Chair summarized (verbally) a proposed recommendation to be given to Town Meeting on the 8 outlining the PBC's recommendation for the Bridge & Bowman Project.
