conflicting information from contractors. Paul suggested they call Fire <br /> Protection in Framingham. <br /> 6 . Eliminate 6 drinking fountains . Bob said they will find 6 fountains <br /> from the number provided that can be eliminated. Paul agreed that fewer is <br /> better. The Committee agreed . <br /> 7 . Delete GWB ceiling in student dining and provide painted exposed <br /> structure. <br /> Paul asked if this will be a sound issue? <br /> Bob said it will pick up the ceiling height by 4 feet, will help the sound. <br /> Paul asked if this will displace any mechanical systems? <br /> Mark suggested they take 50% of the savings. He will send two sketches, <br /> one with all exposed structure and one alternative with less' exposed . <br /> Committee agreed to take $10, 000. <br /> 8. Committee did not agree to take this on . <br /> 9 . Delete 2 toilet rooms at receiving work room - there are still 2 toilets <br /> very accessible to this area. <br /> Committee agreed . <br /> Bob said he also took out both of the toilets from the alternative <br /> education room. Committee agreed. <br /> 10. Use VCT instead of ceramic tile in dining areas. Committee agreed. <br /> 11 . Various HVAC changes including: <br /> reducing boilers from 4 to 2 , eliminating 2 pumps, eliminate electric unit <br /> heaters, reduce size of chillers , piping change. Bob said they reviewed <br /> the piping and the original estimated quantity was wrong . SMMA's <br /> estimate, after the recommended change, came up with almost the exact <br /> number that was in the original estimate . That estimate had carried only <br /> one-half of the piping . <br /> Paul said they also agreed to use 2 1 /2" piping instead of 4" . <br /> Bob said they see no savings from that. <br /> Paul said any estimating book will say there is a premium for 4" pipe <br /> because of additional labor costs. <br /> Paul said originally, receptacles were to use tubing so they could be <br /> changed but that will probably never happen, so he suggests using armour <br /> cable. The cost is 1/3 less . <br /> With these changes they are $174,000 away from the goal . <br /> SMMA will continue to look at ways to reduce the cost. <br /> Bill mentioned there is still no provisions for outdoor storage for <br /> maintenance vehicles, etc. <br /> Bob said both storage areas are in the estimate . <br /> Paul said the School Committee should discuss out placement of these <br /> services. Even if the cost is equal , it eliminates the potential for <br /> vandalism. He does not think the Town of Mashpee can do it any cheaper <br /> than a contractor . This Committee should recommend to the School Committee <br /> they seriously investigate that. <br /> Janice said the School Committee has been considering that. <br /> She said the School Committee would like to be on this Committee' s agenda <br /> in the near future. <br /> 7 <br />
