1996-04-01ELEMENTARY FACILITY BUILDING COMMISSION MINUTES
A meeting of the Elementary Facilities Building Commission-was held on
Monday, April 1, 1996 at 12:00 noon at the Briscoe Middle School. Present
were Nancy Levin, Judy Mulligan, Rod Maxner, Tom Scully, Don Argyrople,
Bob McGrath of Crabtree & McGrath, Mike Radner of Geller Assoc., and Earl
Flansburgh and Chris Scarzi of ERF+A. Chris Scarzi led a discussion on the
new school regarding where a future addition would go and how it would
look. Issues such as piping, stairways and siting would be impacted if the
building was designed for a future addition. Mike Lauranzano and Jeanne
Kuespert of ERF+A arrived at 12:15. ERF+A was directed to proceed with the
design on the basis that there would be a future addition at some time. An
agenda was handed out by ERF+A.
The first item (above) having been determined, discussion moved on to the
issue of parking at the Hannah School. Various alternates that had been
presented previously were discussed. It was decided to go with Alternate 1
with the addition of parking spaces in the 20 car lot to be made up by
removing spaces in other lots. A discussion was held regarding the need for
500 sq. ft. additions to each school for on site food preparation or 600 sq. ft. at
the new school for central distribution. ERF+A handed out a memo regarding
satellite kitchens. Judy handed out a memo from Michele Gordon outlining
her concerns. Crabtree & McGrath and ERF+A will develop cost estimates for
the options discussed. A decision is postponed until this information is
available.
There was a discussion about what to call the new school. It was undecided
whose responsibility it is to name the school. This will be looked into. For
now ERF+A will continue to call it the new school. ERF+A also has questions
regarding who the awarding authority will be for construction bids, where the
bids will be distributed and received, and who will sign environmental
notifications.
Supt. Larry Chase arrived at 1:25. A principals meeting was scheduled for
Thursday, April 4,.1996 for the purpose of Design Subcommittee Review. The
proposals for computer consultant were reviewed. Mike Lauranzano moved
and Nancy Levin seconded to accept the proposal from CCR. It was so voted 2-
0. An interview with CCR will be set up for 9:00 a.m. Thursday, April 4 to be
attended by Mike Casale, Russ Bjork, Larry Chase and the principals.
Larry Chase commented that after discussion with Jim Anderson of DOE it is
his understanding that the order of construction will be left up to the School
Dept. and the Building Commission. If so, general consensus is that the new
school should be built first to facilitate emptying the other schools for
construction. Judy Mulligan presented a proposal frqm Vanasse Hangen
Brustlin, Inc. to write the Asbestos/Hazardous Material RFP for a sum of $750.
Mike Lauranzano moved and Nancy Levin seconded that the Building
Commission would assume the cost of the RFP. Judy Mulligan handed out
minutes of the last two meetings. Mike Lauranzano moved and Nancy Levin
seconded that the minutes of the meetings held on March 18 and March 25 be
accepted and approved. So voted. The meeting adjourned at 1:55. The next
meeting will be held on Monday, April 8, 1996 at 12:00 noon.
