recommend funding of the project to the CIP Committee. On June 16th,the School Department <br /> voted to set aside the $50,000 required for the schematic design. <br /> All necessary paperwork has now been submitted to the MSBA. Assignment by the MSBA of an <br /> architect and project manager is pending. The Town is proposing to complete schematic design <br /> in Fall 2016 and to undertake construction over Summer 2017, assuming MSBA approval and <br /> approval of the funding at October Town Meeting. <br /> At this time, based on similar projects completed in other municipalities,the estimated project <br /> design/construction cost is $1.75 million. As stated above,the Town has to commit to 100%of <br /> this amount,though the MSBA would reimburse the Town during construction approximately <br /> 38%of the cost (over$650,000). <br /> To meet the proposed construction schedule of Summer 201.7,-approval of the funding at the <br /> October Town Meeting is necessary. Because of the nature of the project,the work can only be <br /> completed over summer vacation in order to avoid having to relocate students and/or causing <br /> significant disruption to student learning. In addition, in the experience of the MSBA staff, the <br /> lead time for ordering windows and doors is 16-24 weeks (or an order date-of approximately <br /> February 1, 2017 for a July 1, 2017 construction start). <br />
