CEC, 10/30/06, TOB 111, 7:30am CWL, TE, RB, SS, BH Kanter, Janet Slamenda (HKT), Chirsopher Haines (ENergy), Steve Kropper (Energy), Bill Hadley, Jeane Krieger, Carl Valente, Hank Manz, Keith Omar (Energy), DPW: Dennis, Dave Pinncineau, Eric Brown (PBC), Allessandro Sandrini, Bill Kenney (PBC), Phil Poinelli (PBC). DPW Questions 1. Who is the owner of this project and responsible for coordinating all aspects of the project i.e., design, bidding, construction, interim operations? N: While it's a DPW project, the Permanent Building Committee (PBC) will have oversight. 2. Shouldn't we reconsider Hartwell Ave? N: No. It would be the same project, but with the added complication of having to put the structures on pilings to avoid violating the constraints of the less-expensive manner in which the old dump was capped-and there are also constraints with regard to what kinds of activities are allowed with having done that type of capping. 3. What would the cost differential be if we constructed the proposed facility at Hartwell Ave? N: See #2 above. 4. Is it really necessary to relocate some staff from Town Hall? What is the cost of space for the relocated personnel at the new facility? Who will backfill the TOB space? N: Not necessary, but prudent. The Town Office Building (TOB) is already crowded and those that would be moved to the new DPW facility are consistent with more efficient operations by their offices. The space for them in the new facility is on the order of 3,000-4,000 sq ft. No explicit cost was cited and while exactly what would backfill the space in the TOB wasn't cited, relief of the current overcrowding implied there were many candidates for using that space. 5. 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
