Sellars has a clear title to this rear lot—which has long been considered as Town conservation land. To clear that title, and reconfirm the lot is under the protection of the Town's Conservation Commission, this Article proposes to authorize that Commission to acquire and, with the Board of Selectmen's authorization, if necessary to do so under an eminent-domain proceeding. The Town, through it's Conservation Commission and funded by Community Preservation Fund (CPF) with the approval of the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), had two formal appraisals done on this property. The appraisals valued the property at $78,000 and $180,000—the difference based on using different sales as representing comparable properties. After judging those appraisals and with the advice of Town Counsel regarding potential contention in the courts of the land value in an eminent-domain taking, the BoS recommended: (1)using the higher appraisal as the chosen valuation and (2) also funding $40,000 for possible attendant legal costs. The CPC, in turn, also accepted that higher appraisal valuation (thereby establishing the maximum amount that could be funded from the CPF for the land) and the proposed allowance for legal costs; and made the sum its recommendation for appropriation under this Article from CPF Cash. (See Appendix A on Page 9 for the latest modeling of the CPF revenues and expenses.) This Committee supports the acquisition as proposed and funded so as to resolve that the Town has clear title to the property and it is preserved as conservation land. This Committee's support of the purchase is contingent upon Town Meeting's approval of an access easement under Article 4 that meets or exceeds the extent cited in our comments in that following Article 4. Thus, this Committee believes Article 4 should be taken up before this Article. Fund Funding Article 4:Authorize Authorization Committee Recommends Easement on Land at Requested Source 430 Concord Avenue Not Applicable Not Applicable Approval(5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to acquire by eminent domain, purchase or otherwise an easement or expand the uses of the existing sewer easement on property shown on Assessors' Property Map 10, Lots 7 and 8 to access the land shown on Assessors' Property Map 6, Lot 1; or act in any other manner in relation thereto."... DESCRIPTION: This article would provide for an access easement to the land described in Article 3 of this warrant" [Town Warrant] This Committee understands the Town expects to be able to acquire the easement at no cost from Artis following the rezoning proposed under Article 2. This Committee expects that the additional/expanded easement that is being proposed under this Article would provide the Town, and as deemed appropriate by the Town's Conservation Commission the public, a route by which to access the cited, land-locked, back property—to be acquired under Article 3. Thus, as already noted above, this Committee believes this Article 4 should be taken up before Article 3. 2 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) Fund Funding Article 5: Schools Master Authorization Source Committee Recommends Requested Plan $250,000 GF (Cash) Approval (5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of money for a school building master plan;...or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: This article requests funds to plan for future needs of the public schools." [Town Warrant] The following quotes from the Town of Lexington Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #14-48, advertised 7 May 2014, "Designer Services for Lexington Public Schools Master Planning",with proposals due and opened on May 22, 2014, describe the scope of effort for what is contemplated to be a 3-phase program: It is to be a 3-phase effort by "designers/architects to provide professional architectural and education-planning services to assist the Lexington Public Schools in updating the existing PK-12 Master Plan dated March 2009 to respond to increasing enrollment projects." "The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be from June 2014 through June 2017." "The Professional Fee for the selected service provider shall be negotiated in phases,but will not exceed $75,000 for the first phase." "Prepared a Phase 1 Final report that provides analysis of each schools capacity based on current educational standards, updated diagrams that show how the capacity is provided in the school and the methodology for scheduling that drives the capacity. Provide recommendations on options at each school to accommodate the projected enrollments from the Enrollment Working Group through FY 2016. Also in the Final Report provide an assessment on potential capacity for elementary education at the LPS Administration Building if the administration functions are moved to another location." "Phase 1 Final report due September 1, 2014." "Phase 2: (Specific details to be determined at completion of Phase 1) Provide specific options to accommodate 10 year population projections and flexible strategies for longer term enrollment growth or fluctuations. Recommendations should meet the demands of 21st Century education. Develop phasing options that: • alleviate space shortfall that will require funds to be appropriated at a potential November 2014 Special Town Meeting • alleviate space shortfall that would require appropriation at 2015 Annual Town Meeting to study/design/construction documents for additional capacity at one or more locations" "Phase 3: (Specific details to be determined after completion of Phase 1) Provide specific options to accommodate 10 year population projections and flexible strategies for longer term enrollment growth or fluctuations. Recommendations should meet the demands of 21st Century education. Develop phasing options that: • develop options for elementary, middle school, and high school education that may involve projects at multiple schools over the next ten years • an option that might result in a school project that would qualify for the MSBA Capital Grant Program." "At the sole discretion of the awarding authority and in addition to Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, the selected architectural firm may be contracted for additional projects to provide capacity for Lexington Public Schools, including studies, schematics, design development, construction documents, and construction administration for the term of the Agreement. If consultants are added to the team, the Awarding Authority will have a say in who is retained. 3 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) The $175,000 balance of the requested funding is an estimated amount to cover Phases 2&3, including a portion for contingencies. The Lexington School Committee has established a new Ad hoc School Master Planning Committee ("Ad Hoc Committee"). The following extract from its Charge describes its purpose, including how it would be involved with evaluating which firm to select in response to the RFQ and then working with the selected firm: Recommend educational capacities for all school buildings based on current programs and educational standards for high-quality 21st century schools, and recommend the quantity of additional space that may be needed based on enrollment projections and modern educational standards. The Superintendent's Enrollment Working Group is separately developing a model for enrollment projections that will be used by the Ad Hoc Committee for planning purposes. The Ad Hoc Committee will select an architectural firm that specializes in education planning. The Committee will then meet regularly with the selected firm to review the firm's findings on school capacities and jointly develop plans to respond to changing enrollments. The updating of the School's master plan is an essential component of the Town's overall long-range master planning which has been made even more essential by the number of major capital projects—both municipal and schools—facing Lexington in the relatively near term. Any additional projects and any effort(s) (from schematic design, through construction document, and for construction) to implement recommendations resulting from the Schools Master Planning funded under this Article would require additional action(s) by one or more future Town Meetings. Fund Funding Article 6:Amend General Authorization Committee Recommends Bylaws—Contracts and Requested Source Deeds Not Applicable Not Applicable Approval(5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 32-4 of Chapter 32 ("Contracts and Deeds") of the Code of the Town of Lexington by deleting the following line from the Table entitled Type of Contract and Number of Years: Leases, licenses, power purchase agreements, agreements for payments in lieu of taxes 20 (PILOTs), and/or other agreements for the purpose of installing solar energy facilities and purchasing solar electricity And replacing it with the following two lines: Leases, licenses,power purchase agreements and/or other agreements for the purpose of 22 installing solar energy facilities and purchasing solar electricity Agreements for payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) with owners of solar energy 20 facilities on Town-owned property or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: Power purchase agreements for solar facilities typically provide for the sale of electricity for terms of 20 years (or more), as of the date of commercial operation. The 20 year purchase requirement is in addition to the time required for permitting and constructing a solar facility. As now written, the general bylaw would limit electricity purchases to less than 20 years in order to provide adequate time within a 20 year contract for permitting and construction of the solar facility. While permitting and construction typically is completed in less than one year, the change from 20 to 22 years for contracts authorized by the proposed amendment to the general bylaw provides flexibility to the Town Manager to take into account the possibility of up to two year delays in permitting and interconnection approvals and construction prior to commercial operation. Because state law limits PILOT Agreements to 20 years, the term of PILOT agreements is 4 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) unchanged by the amendment. Under the proposed amended bylaw, PILOT Agreements would become effective contemporaneously with the time when the solar system commences production, the Town begins to purchase electricity from a completed and operational solar facility, and the developer begins to receive revenue with which to make PILOT payments." [Town Warrant] There is one immediately contemplated power purchase agreement(PPA)regarding the installation of solar panels on the Town buildings and another being considered for an installation at the Town's facility on Hartwell Avenue. This Committee accepts the above-described basis for extending further the allowable duration of the leases, licenses,PPAs, and/or other agreements related to solar energy. (The immediately contemplated PAA does not currently include a PILOT.) Fund Funding Article 8:Establish and Authorization Committee Recommends Appropriate To and Requested Source From Specified Stabilization funds Not Applicable Not Applicable Indefinite Postponement (5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to create and/or appropriate sums of money to and from Stabilization Funds in accordance with Section 5B of Chapter 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws for the purposes of: (a) Section 135 Zoning By-Law, (b) Traffic Mitigation, (c) Transportation Demand Management, (d) School Bus Transportation, (e) Special Education, (f) Center Improvement District; (g) Debt Service, (h) Transportation Management Overlay District (TMO-1), (i) Avalon Bay School Enrollment Mitigation Fund, and (j) Capital Projects/Debt Service Reserve/Building Renewal Fund; and determine whether the money shall be provided by the tax levy,by transfer from available funds, or by any combination of these methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: This article proposes to establish and/or fund Stabilization Funds for specific purposes and to appropriate funds therefrom. Money in those funds may be invested and the interest may then become a part of the particular fund. The use of these funds may be appropriated for the specific designated purpose by a two-thirds vote of an Annual or Special Town Meeting." [Town Warrant] This Committee only reports on actions to the 6 of those 10 Specific Stabilization Funds that have a relation to capital. (Sequence identified above as (a), (b), (f), (g), (h), & (j).) See Appendix B on Page 10 for some information on each of the 10 Funds. At the time of this report, this Committee is not aware of any actions contemplated with regard to any of the 6 Funds with a relation to capital. 5 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) Fund Funding Authorization Committee Recommends Requested Source $6,297,184 CPF Article 10:Amend Article 5 ($5,846,184 Cash of November 4, 2013, $6,720,000 and $451,000 Debt) [an increase of + $422,816 GF Special Town Meeting, (Free cash)) $500,000 from the Renovation to [an increase of amount as $500 000 in CPF Approval(5-0) Community Center amended at the ' March 24, 2014 Cash from the STM] amount as amended at the March 24, 2014 STM] "To see if the Town will vote to amend the vote taken under Article 5 of the warrant for the November 4, 2013 Special Town Meeting and amended under Article 3 of the March 24, 2014 Special Town Meeting relating to design, engineering and remodeling, reconstructing and making extraordinary repairs to buildings at 39 Marrett Road, and for equipment in connection therewith, in order to increase the appropriation therefor, and determine whether the money shall be provided by the tax levy, by transfer from available funds, including the Community Preservation Fund, or by borrowing, or by any combination of these methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: This article would authorize additional funds for the renovation of the Community Center and provide for HVAC work." [Town Warrant] The initially approved funding for this project was $3,169,000 at the November 4, 2013, STM under Article 5 for the "short term improvements needed to facilitate occupancy as soon as possible after closing [on the purchase]". [Town Warrant for STM] (Details in this Committee's Report to that STM, Released October 28, 2013) As the design progressed, it then became clear that increased occupancy rates would tax the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems beyond their capacity. When there then was an indefinite postponement of a planned Phase 2 to build-out the Center (including upgrading the HVAC systems), it was then decided that far more was needed than the previously funded immediate-occupancy scope. Specifically, the new goal was to open the Community Center with an interior environment that would be suitable "for the long haul" without the need for later interior work that would, by its nature, interfere with the on-going use of the facility. To that end, based upon an overall approximately 60% design but with some elements still at a much earlier stage—in order to keep the expanded project as expedited as practical, it was brought to the March 24, 2014, STM and approved under Article 3 which amended the initial appropriation to $6,220,00—an increase of$3,051,000. (Details in this Committee's Report to that STM, Released March 17, 2014.) As is normally done, as the design & engineering continued toward bid-ready documents, a final, mid- range, overall estimate is done at the 90% stage. That estimate was delivered on March 26, 2014 and, when including the associated "soft costs" (those beyond the construction contract such as architectural & engineering (A&E) fees; furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E); transition cost, consultants, commissioning, project contingency, etc.), the total project cost was $7,186,838—$966,838 over the current appropriation. That total included one increase in scope: An upgrade to a north-side, lower-level, entry way to fulfill a need identified by the Town's Commission on Disabilities that was not known when the cost estimate at the 60% stage was done. That upgrade carried an estimated fully burdened cost of $74,895. The remaining $891,943 of the over-budget gap is the result of the later cost estimate done for the more-detailed, nearly bid-ready, specifications and plans. Although the earlier cost estimate at the 6 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) 60% design stage included a price and design contingency, it was not sufficient to cover the increase reported in the 90%-design cost estimate. (A smaller such contingency will remain in the final estimated construction cost to provide some level of"insurance" against bidding being above the mid-range chosen for the cost estimate.) The major cost-drivers of that remaining over-budget gap were the quality-level of the interior finishes (millwork, doors, acoustical ceilings, flooring, etc.) chosen to meet expectations, correction of more-severe exterior deterioration (primarily in the annex to the mansion) revealed when a more-detailed building survey was conducted, and additional relocation of fire-protection sprinkler distribution piping when the more-detailed location of HVAC-upgrade ductwork and piping was known. The Board of Selectmen-appointed Ad hoc Community Center Advisory Committee (AhCCAC), in conjunction with the Department of Public Facilities (DPF), initiated an intense value-engineering exercise (VEE) to identify where changes could be made in the specifications and drawings to eliminate the over-budget gap. The VEE included representatives from the AhCCAC, DPF, the A&E firm (Steffian Bradley Architects [SBA]), and SBA's cost estimators (VJ Associates). A priced list of 82 actions was reviewed for those that could be recommended without a significant, adverse, effect upon the capabilities and conditions—the "fabric"—that the AhCCAC had deemed warranted for Lexington's Community Center. The VEE identified 32 actions that would produce an estimated, net, burdened savings of $452,910. That list was reviewed by the AhCCAC. After retaining four actions recommended for reductions as the AhCCAC deemed them as having unacceptable impact, and then choosing to include one action that hadn't been recommended by the VEE, the AhCCAC approved the actions that would produce an estimated,net,burdened savings of$449,838. That reduced the budget gap to $517,000. Then, with a total of$17,000 in relatively small adjustments in a few of the non-direct costs, that is the basis for the $500,000 being requested under this Article. See Appendix C on Page 11 for a table showing the three Total Project Costs for this project: As described above, the first two past appropriations were made for what were totally different scopes; the third is the latest, cost-estimated-after-VEE, basis for the current request under this Article. (Also see Appendix A on Page 9 for the latest modeling of the CPF revenues and expenses.) With the goal of assuring that the Town will be able to award a contract in response to the adjusted bid package, the AhCCAC also agreed to identify three components of the scope as sequenced "add alternates"—leaving the balance of the scope as the base scope. The bids will then consist of the cost for the base scope and separate bids for each of the "add alternates". To the extent the available appropriation permits, the Town can award for the base scope and then, in sequence, the addition—in sequence—of the "add alternates". (An "add alternate" can only be included if the available funding permits all of it to be funded; one can't include just a part of an "add alternate" in the award.) Considering the advice of DPF, the AhCCAC recommended the following "add alternates" (shown with their estimated burdened costs) be in the following sequence. (Both are for work that can be completed after the building is occupied without significant interference with the ongoing activities in the building.) First: New Mansion Ramp Access ($102,270) Last: Exterior Façade Repairs ($428,740) The BoS has recommended the $500,000 increase and the CPC then recommended that increase be made in the cash appropriation from the CPF. This Committee has carefully considered the causes of the increase in the estimated cost of this project and, in context,found them not to be unreasonable when considering the earlier state of design and the Town's expectations for the Community Center when the appropriation was last amended. (Note: This Committee considers any comparison to the initial appropriation is not relevant as that was for a long-since-unrelated project scope.) Further, this Committee believes the VEE—although accomplished in an extraordinarily short time—was properly intensive, and the AhCCAC's final recommendation on the cost cutting properly balanced the goal of eliminating the budget gap, but only to the extent it didn't destroy the `fabric"of a Community Center for Lexington. 7 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2014 STM(Jun 16th) Article 11:Amend Article 2 Fund Funding of March 24, 2014, Authorization Source Committee Recommends Special Town Meeting, Requested Cary Memorial Building Not Applicable Not Applicable Indefinite Postponement Upgrades (5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to amend the vote taken under Article 2 of the warrant for the March 24, 2014 Special Town Meeting relating to appropriating a sum of money for the remodeling, reconstructing, and making extraordinary repairs to the Cary Memorial Building; and for equipment in connection therewith, and determine whether the money shall be provided by the tax levy, by transfer from available funds, including the Community Preservation Fund, or by borrowing, or by any combination of these methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: This article would authorize additional funds for the renovation of the Cary Memorial Building." [Town Warrant] The qualified and selected bid by Nauset Construction Corporation (Needham, MA) for this project is $7,137,000. As that is $178,448 below the $7,315,448 estimated cost for the construction contract that was the primary component of the $8,677,400 estimated total-project cost for which an appropriation was approved by the March 24, 2014 STM for all of the intended scope of the project, there is no need for an amendment to increase that existing appropriation to permit an award. At the time of this report, the Town is in the process of completing that contract award. Article 12:Appropriate Funding Funds Requested Committee Recommends for Authorized Capital Source Improvements Not Applicable Not Applicable Indefinite Postponement (5-0) "To see if the Town will vote to make supplementary appropriations to be used in conjunction with money appropriated in prior years for the installation or construction of water mains, sewers and sewerage systems, drains, streets,buildings,recreational facilities or other capital improvements and equipment that have heretofore been authorized; determine whether the money shall be provided by the tax levy, by transfer from the balances in other articles, by transfer from available funds, including enterprise funds, by borrowing, or by any combination of these methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.... DESCRIPTION: This is an article to request funds for capital improvement project expenditures that exceed the level of appropriation." [Town Warrant] At the time of this report, this Committee is not aware of any actions contemplated under this Article. 8 CPA Fund - Projected Revenues and Expenditures b (including supplemental$500,000 for Community Center&$220,000 for 430 Concord Ave Back Lot,both from available funds) Z Prepared 10 Jun 2014 (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) (G) (H) (I) (J) IProjected Revenue FY2015(includes 2014 ATM action O (] on proposed O FY2014 6/16/14 action) FY2016 FY2017 FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 (1) Property Surcharge $ 3,907,000 $4,043,745 $4,185,276 $4,331,761 $4,483,372 $4,640,290 $ 4,802,701 (2) State Match' $ 927,310 $ 959,766 $ 993,358 $ 1,028,125 $ 1,064,110 $ 1,101,353 $ 1,139,901 C-' (3) Investment Income z $ 14,000 $ 14,490 $ 14,997 $ 15,522 $ 16,065 $ 16,628 $ 17,210 q rit (4) Total $ 4,848,310 $5,018,001 $5,193,631 $5,375,408 $5,563,547 $5,758,271 $5,959,811 '•'d -d co Projected Allocations into Reserves and Claims Against Reserves i4o (5) Open Space $ 989,561 $ 501,800 $ 519,363 $ 537,541 $ 556,355 $ 575,827 $ 595,981 d (6) ..... $ (220,000) $ (501,800) $ (519,363) $ (537,541) $ (556,355) $ (575,827) $ (595,981) V) Historic Resources •::}:: •:•: $ 519,980 $ 501,800 $ 519,363 $ 537,541 $ 556,355 $ 575,827 $ 595,981 0• (8) $ (519,979) $ (501,800) $ (519,363) $ (537,541) $ (556,355) $ (575,827) $ (595,981) t.i1 (s) Community Housing ....................... $ 873,316 $ 501,800 $ 519,363 $ 537,541 $ 556,355 $ 575,827 $ 595,981 'T1 Cr (10) $ (873,316) $ (501,800) $ (519,363) $ (537,541) $ (556,355) $ (575,827) $ (595,981) g (-] (11) Other Projects .:: :: $ - $ 501,800 $ 519,363 $ 537,541 $ 556,355 $ 575,827 $ 595,981 Ca. 0 (12) .: .- $ - $ (501,800) $ (519,363) $ (537,541) $ (556,355) $ (575,827) $ (595,981) 1 5 (13) llnbudgeted Reserves:: : $ 3,393,817 $3,010,800 $3,116,179 $3,225,245 $3,338,128 $3,454,963 $ 3,575,887 b (14) $ (661,735) $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - O.
