Requisition No. 28 from Peabody for work at the high school in the amount of$646,049 was

accommodated in the meantime. The ability to hold all classes also extends to the middle schools,
for which there no requisition was presented.
Reauisition No. 12 for Cary Libtary in the amount of$481,056.28 was VOTED approved upon a
motion by Poinelli seconded by Touart. Construction is about 30 percent complete but the
contractor's requisition is 58 percent of construction administration!
Payment Reauisition for 15% comnletion of TLCR's work on Design Development of the
Harrington School was VOTED TLCR s contract is for$871,000 at the present time.
Systems at the Harrington School discussion centered around HVAC methods and their relation to
noise level in classrooms, cost and flexibility (thermostatic control in each room).
Four heating/ventilating systems were listed, with unit ventilators eliminated from the list as most
noisy The three remaining systems VAV (variable air valve), heat pump and heat pump with
geothermal source. With a heat pump system, the cheapest to operate, fresh air would be brought in
from a central source, probably on the roof. If geothermal were included, seven wells would be
required on the Harrington School property These would be deep wells 1,200 to 1,500 feet deep.
An example of this system is in the Shurtleff School in Chelsea, an old building that was completely
renovated and expanded.
Committee took the information under advisement pending a future decision.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. until Tuesday July 16, 2002 at 7 p.m.
