CAPITAL PLAN UPDATE - SCHOOL PROJECTS: The School Committee and the Municipal Building Committee held a joint meeting to discuss the School Projects. Chairman Young stated that the role of the MBC was to give technical support not to sell the project, Charman Chilson stated that the School Committee will sponsor a Warrant Article for all three schools. The Committee discussed the bid prices for the municipal projects and stated that the decision to package the bids creatively did have a financial benefit to the Town. However, there was no benefit for the Police Station project which was slated to begin after the Town Hall conversion was completed. Keyes Associates had been advised not to begin work on the project until after we received direction from the School Committee. The MBC still feels that the best option is to package the projects together. Chairman Young asked where the School Committee will go from here. The consensus of the School Committee was that the process will have to be redefined and will become apparent noticeable during the budget process that the impact will be felt dramatically.. In April we should have more financial estimates from the architect. There will be more information from the legislature in July. The School Committee stated that they are meeting weekly and will advise the MBC of their intentions by February 1st. It is up to the School Committee to move forward on the projects. The School Department is still researching the Chapter 60 fiords for the energy conversion. MBC member, Larry Carpenter, suggested that if Town Meeting is not favorable for the school projects then the School Committee should move forward with the energy work. There may have to be some minor revisions to the documents. The I coordination between the two items could be handled with the issuance of an addenda. `School Committee member, Emil Giordano, welcomed members of the MBC to participate, with the School Department, in the Chapter 60 program. Chairman Young suggested to wait until after Town Meeting to ask Keyes to proceed. A decision on how to proceed with bidding needs to be addressed. The Committee learned that the combined bidding on the Municipal Projects was more complex due to the filed sub bids. School Committee member, Andrea Micheli, feels that we need to decide what is the best for the Town and children which is to proceed with all three projects. Due to the inflation factor will could be an increase in the estimates that presently have. Emil feels that we should look at the Chapter 60 program and review the capital plan to change the mechanical plans. The School Committee will advise the MBC by February 1st on the direction they wish to pursue. JORDANUACKSON UPDATE: MBC - Minutes - January 9, 1996 2 Review of the RFPs for the roof repair and the installation of wells at the Jordan/Jackson School.
