Home My WebLink About2006-10-02-CEC-min CEC, 10/2/06, SMR, 7:30pm CWL, TE, SS, RB We agreed that our assignments will stay the same this year. RB will cover the Energy Committee. TE will cover the PBC. CWL and SS will split CPC as best we can. We would like to get an update on Fiske. Sentiment is 4:0 in favor of shelving in archive being funded with CPA money. Clarke School Besides AHU's, what other units will be converted to gas? TE: How does this solve cooling problems? Do these changes add or replace any A/C? How much of the building is A/C'd now? [cwl sent mail to Bill Hartigan and Tom Diaz asking for clarification.] Schedule Agreed to meet at 7:30am on 10/20, 10/30, 11/10, 11/17, 12/1, 12/8, 12/15. [these were changed after the meeting] DPW Formulated list of questions, mostly taken from Ted's email. * Shouldn't we reconsider Hartwell Ave? We pretty much know the answer to this, but we ask it anyway because we know the public will ask this question and we need to have a stock answer to it. * What would the cost differential be at Hartwell Ave? Again, it is a question that will be asked so we should be prepared to answer it. * Is it really necessary to relocate some staff from Town Hall? What is the cost of space for the relocatees at the new facility? Who will backfill the TOB space? * What is the cost of achieving LEEDS "certified" (the lowest level of LEEDS) level? What is the additional cost of achieving LEEDS "Silver" level? To be LEEDS, how much day lighting needs to be installed? Are there any incentives (e.g. grants) for LEEDS certification? * Why can't you remain in present facility with less expensive upgrades? For example, can we refurb the office space and maint. facility, and only reconstruct the vehicle storage? * What happens if the debt exclusion referendum fails? * Why are we requesting construction money at STM before we have the construction documents phase completed? Why are we taking a non-traditional approach to financing rather than appropriating (only) the remaining design funds at STM and then the construction money at ATM? What if the design phase shows the costing to be higher (or lower) than the $30.5M? * Do we need a full time EOC - things went fairly well in the Keyspan case? * Why does Wayne Brooks need two offices? * Why is wash facility larger than Bedford's facility? * What does each component, i.e. garage, salt, storage, office space, fuel facility, etc., cost? * Can any of the proposed functions be out sourced? * Programming indicates some personnel growth over existing levels, is this going to happen? * What systems will be in place to identify cost and schedule problems early on? * How much of the $30m is for new equipment. What is the breakdown for building construction, and outfitting? Will any existing equipment be re-used? * How confident are we in the Environmental Impact Statements? Are we sure we're not going to find (e.g.) saturated oil beneath the vehicle storage facility. RB: Doesn't believe the Environmental Impact Statements. He doesn't think we dug deep enough. * What are the expected operational costs of the facility? How much will it cost to heat and operate it? * Do we really need a warm building for the trucks? * Will the building heating system be gas or oil fired? * Who's responsibility is it to recycle existing items on the site? * Is there a waste oil burning facility on the site? * Will any ground water be used by the facility? * Will a traffic signal be installed, and if so, what is the cost? m Adjourn: 8:43p
