Aside from possible re'qulrements for security, we do not ar-ticipate costs for. school space. It would also be advantageous to be away from the new construction site, because of noise and safety concerns. Library parking is not a problem from the school's point of view. 2) IIllashpee Commons. John Renz stated that he is still hoping for space to free up at the Commons area, if the timing is right. Stores that may be about to vacate must give sic months' notice. The costs involved here to the library would be taxes and utility bills. 3)Temporary "frailer Backup. Jame Dolan will proceed with the firm, Scottsrnan, regarding cost and availability. Scottsman does not provide septic tanks for their trailers. However, the firm of BausHouse can provide tanks which would ft underneath one of the trailers. Depending on the size of the tank, the cost for Bau House service would be$113-to$227 per month, which would include delivery, setup and pumping. The current estimate for these services is approximately $40,0 00 for a one year period. A Request t for Proposals would be required to comply with state procurement procedures.

The DSC system has a higher up-front cost but lower operating costs. Thewater- based system has a lower up-front cost but higher operating costs. Both systems are guaranteed for 25 to 30 years. The DX system uses copper piping which might require installation of sleeving around the piping to maintain pH.balance in the soil. DX system operating costs are estimated at 25 cents per square foot or $6,000 per year. The waiter based system is estimated to be approximately oo per year. The I la hpee Police Station,just under 21000 square feet, had costs of$1.96 per square ft. for electricity and heat in 2004, compared to geothermal costs which would be approximately ately o cents per sq. ft.
