Committee vote on the projects proposed for FY18. • The first project is the annual request for flooring replacement. The focus over the last few years has been the flooring in the classrooms at the middle/high school which is 20 years old. • The second project is replacement of the generator at the Quashnet School. This is the original generator; parts are no longer available and a number of repairs have been required recently. If the generator were to fail, the Town would have to rent a portable generator until a new one could be installed. • The third project is upgrade of security cameras/access control at various buildings. Upgrade of the cameras/access control at some buildings was already funded through the capital bond in 2014. This funding would upgrade the remaining buildings including the library, police station, DPW, and fire substation. • The fourth project is the DPW facility improvements. This is a multi-year project; the request for FY18 is for design funds. As discussed at the previous meeting, the DPW garage was built in 1985.
