Lavallee Brensinger Architects
RE: KILLAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL –SUSTAINABILITY SERVICES DD-CD-REV
June 3, 2025 Page 4 of 10
the code or guidelines will affect the scope significantly. However, if they do require an
increase in effort, TT may request additional services.
B. Design team must meet the mandatory provisions of the energy code. TT services
include evaluating only performance sections of the energy code.
C. Due to circumstances that are beyond the control and scope of TT, we cannot guarantee
achieving a targeted building energy performance.
D. There are several unknown factors in the design phases that vary under real operating
conditions. Due to this reason, the results of analysis should be considered in the context
of relative performance only and not for comparison with actual data.
E. Revisions to models as a result of design changes after TT generates a complete report
are not included in this scope. This will be considered additional service and will be billed
at TT’s hourly billing rate.
F. Energy model inputs must not be used as inputs for purposes other than the scope listed
here. The design team is responsible to follow the drawings and specifications.
G. The thermal performance provided by the Architect for different wall types, spandrel
types, glazing types, linear thermal bridges, and any exterior envelope
construction/condition are assumed to be accurate.
H. TT will utilize assumptions based on published data for similar assemblies to make
assumptions about wall assembly U-values where detailed and project specific
information is not available.
I. The Architect is responsible for final confirmation of envelope thermal performance
values prior to the submission of the backstop analysis and other code or permitting
documentation.
J. Although a preference for a particular material, design, type of construction, thickness or
dimension may be stated in the Specification or on Architect’s drawings and although
their selection is based upon previously resourced design solutions, these only indicate
the design intent.
K. Any of TT’s recommendations regarding component sizing and anchorages are
preliminary engineered recommendations in nature. Final engineering of exterior wall
systems, assemblies and components shall be the responsibility of the selected exterior
façade Contractors.
L. TT is not responsible for the preparation of cost estimates or cost implications of optional
items. Our scope of work does not include comprehensive review of quantities (i.e.,
building plan dimensions and panel layouts), project coordination or management (e.g.,
scheduling of the drawings or works).

services either periodically or on a full-time basis shall be subject to Paragraph 4 above and TT shall not be responsible for,
the acts or omissions of the contractors, subcontractors, or any other persons performing any of the construction work or for
the failure of the contractor, subcontractors or any other persons performing any work to carry out their work in accordance
with their contractual obligation or other applicable documents. If TT’s Scope of Services includes providing such observation
services on a full-time basis, TT shall endeavor to provide further protection for the Client against defects and deficiencies in
the observed work of such contractor, but the furnishing of such full-time services shall not modify the rights, responsibilities
or obligations of TT as described elsewhere in this Agreement, including this paragraph.
(8) The review and/or certification of the amounts due any contractor are not included in TT’s Scope of Services unless
specifically set forth in the Proposal. If such services are included in TT’s Scope of Service, TT’s review and/or certification
and/or recommendation of any application for payment submitted by any contractor shall only constitute a representation to
Client that, based on: (1) TT’s observation of the construction work for which it prepared drawings and/or specifications or for
which it has agreed in the TT’s Scope of Services to review applications for payment by a contractor; (2) observations as set
forth in Paragraph 7; and (3) the data comprising the contractor’s request/application for payment, to the best of TT’s
knowledge, information and belief, such construction work has progressed to the point indicated in the application and that
the quality of such construction work is in accordance with the applicable drawings, specifications or other documents. The
foregoing representations are subject to: (i) an evaluation of such construction work for conformance with the applicable
drawings, specifications and other documents upon substantial completion; (ii) results of subsequent tests and inspections;
(iii) correction of minor deviations from the applicable drawings, specifications and other documents prior to completion; and
(iv) specific qualifications expressed by TT. The issuance of any recommendation or certification for payment shall not be a
representation that TT has: (A) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of such
construction work; (B) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures; (C) reviewed copies of
requisitions received from contractors or subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested to substantiate the
contractor’s or subcontractor’s right to payment; or (D) ascertained how or for what purpose the contractor or subcontractor
has used money previously paid on account of the amounts due under any contract.
(9) Payment to TT for Services rendered and reimbursable expenses incurred shall be due not more than thirty days after the
date of the invoice submitted by TT, unless other terms are set forth in the Proposal. In the event that the Client disputes any
items billed in an invoice, the Client shall notify TT within ten (10) days specifying the complaint and, in the meantime, all
amounts to which there is not a reasonable and good faith dispute to payment shall be paid promptly. Any dispute not raised
within such ten (10) day period is waived. The Client’s failure to make timely payment due under this Agreement in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and TT shall be entitled,
upon seven (7) days written notice to client to terminate this Agreement or, at its option, suspend its performance until all
sums then due under this Agreement have been paid. Furthermore, in the event that Client’s obligation to make payment to
TT is contingent on Client’s receipt of payment from any individual or entity, TT shall, notwithstanding such non-payment, be
entitled to suspend its performance if TT does not receive payment within thirty days of submission of its invoice to Client.
Any past due payments shall accrue interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or part thereof, unless prohibited by
law in which case interest at the maximum rate allowed by law (if any) shall accrue. TT shall be entitled to recover any and
all costs incurred, including attorneys’ fees, (“Collection Costs”) in connection with its efforts to collect past due sums. The
minimum amount of such Collection Costs is agreed to be the lesser of (1) ten percent (10%) of the past due amount or (2)
the maximum amount allowed by law.
(10) If TT is called upon by Client, or subpoenaed by any other person, to testify or produce records in an action at law, equity,
arbitration, or in a pre-trial hearing or conference, as to any work performed by anyone in connection with the Project, TT
shall be paid by the Client for all time spent while testifying and preparing therefor and producing such records in accordance
with the rates set forth in the attached agreement.
(11) If the project is suspended or abandoned in whole or in part for more than three months, TT shall, at its option, be permitted
to terminate this Agreement upon seven (7) days written notice to Client. TT shall be compensated for all services performed
and expenses incurred prior to receipt of written notice from Client of such suspension or abandonment in an amount as
determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement, together with all reasonable termination costs and
expenses.
Page 3 of 3
(12) The parties agree that if Client makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
as they become due, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, files a petition or answer
seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under
any present or future statute, law, or regulation, files any answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a
petition filed against Client in any such proceeding, or seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in, the appointment of any trustee,
receiver, custodian or liquidator of Client or of all or any substantial part of the properties of Client, or if Client, its directors,
partners, members, or shareholders, takes action to dissolve or liquidate Client, the Client shall be in default of this
Agreement and TT may terminate for cause or, at TT’s option, suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
(13) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Client shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify TT and its consultants, and each
of their owners, directors, officers and employees and any of their heirs, successors and assigns (collectively “TT Parties”),
from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, damages, losses, judgments, payments, awards, costs and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and other costs of investigation and defense) (collectively “Claims”) arising, in whole or in part, out
of: i) the negligence of Client or any of its partners or employees in connection with the Project; ii) any contractor(s)'
negligence or breach of contract in connection with the Project or performing any work and/or supplying any materials; or iii)
the negligence of any other party relative to the Project, except that, TT shall not be indemnified with respect to damages,
losses, judgments and/or expenses to the extent they are caused solely by the negligence of, or breach of the Standard of
Care by, TT or its consultants or any of their owners, directors, officers or employees. In addition, the Client shall hold
harmless, defend and indemnify TT Parties, from and against any and all Claims arising, in whole or in part, out of: i) the use
of the “fast-track” delivery method for the Project; and/or ii) the discovery, presence, handling, removal or disposal of, or
exposure of persons to, any hazardous materials in any form at the Project site, including, but not limited to, asbestos,
asbestos products, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), bacteria, mold, fungi, lead based paints or other similar materials or
other toxic substances, infectious materials, or contaminants.
(14) The Client shall cause any contractor responsible for the construction of work (or related activities) designed, specified or
reviewed by TT or responsible for any other activities relating to TT’s services, to hold harmless, indemnify and defend TT
Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all damages, liabilities, claims, suits, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs of investigation and defense) arising in connection with the
negligence, breach of contract or strict liability of any contractor or any of their subcontractors or any of their vendors. Client
shall also name, and cause such contractor(s) to name, TT Parties as additional insureds on its and each such contractor's
Commercial General Liability insurance policy and Umbrella/Excess liability insurance policy (with policy limits at the greater
of the limits required for the project or Five Million Dollars per occurrence and in the per project aggregate) and to maintain
such coverage until the completion of its contract and to provide TT with a Certificate of Insurance so naming TT as an
additional insured on an annual basis for so long as Client and/or contractor maintains or is obligated to maintain such
coverage.
(15) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, it is specifically
understood and agreed that there shall be no personal liability on the part of the owners, directors, officers, members,
shareholders or employees of TT or any of its affiliates or its successors and assigns with respect to the Services or any of
the terms, covenants, obligations and conditions of this Agreement.
(16) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or provided for under any applicable law, neither TT
nor Client shall be liable to the other party, either in contract or in tort, for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or
punitive damages, including without limitation any delays damages, loss of future revenue, income or profits or any
diminution of value, financing costs or costs of lost opportunities relating to this Agreement, the Services or the Project,
whether or not the possibility of such damages has been disclosed to the other party in advance or could have been
reasonably foreseen by such other party.
(17) It is expressly understood and agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and not withstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the aggregate total of TT’s liability (and the liability of its owners, directors, officers and employees, if any
such liability otherwise exists) arising from any and all claims, suits, demands, damages, losses, judgments, payments,
awards, and expenses relating to the Project, Services and/or this Agreement shall be limited to and in no event exceed
three times the fee actually received by TT for Services rendered on the project.
(18) The foregoing conditions are incorporated into any agreement under which services are to be performed by TT for the Client
in connection with the Project. If any of the Standard Conditions or any portions thereof are adjudged null and void, it is
agreed that the remaining Standard Conditions shall remain intact and be given full force and effect. These Standard
Conditions shall not be construed to indemnify TT for its own negligence, if not permitted by law, or to provide for any
indemnification which would, as a result thereof, make the provisions of these Standard Conditions void, or to eliminate or
reduce any other indemnification or right which TT has by law.
Project-Specific Conditions - Page 1 of 1
Project-Specific Conditions
The following conditions are incorporated into any Proposal to which they are attached.
Project-Specific Condition 1 – Opinions of Construction Cost. The preparation and/or evaluation of any project budget and/or any
estimates of construction cost are not included in TT's Scope of Services unless specifically set forth in the Proposal. If such
services are to be provided, they represent TT's judgment, exercised in accordance with the Standard of Care, as a design
professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that TT does not have control over the cost of
labor, materials, or equipment, over the contractor's methods of determining bid prices, or over competitive bidding, market
fluctuations or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, TT cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices
will not vary from the project budget proposed, established or approved by the Client or Owner, if any, or from any statement of
probable construction cost or other cost estimate or evaluation prepared by TT.
Project-Specific Condition 2 – Fast-Track Schedule Disclaimer. If the Project is designed, bid and constructed according to a "fast
track" schedule, the following provision shall apply. The parties acknowledge that the use of “fast-track” project delivery
methods in which the sequencing of design and construction activities enables some portions of the Project to begin before the
design is completed on other portions of the Project can adversely impact the overall coordination and completion of each
subsequent portion of the Project at the time of its design and construction, can require subsequent revision to the drawings,
specifications and other construction related documents depicting such subsequent portions to achieve their overall coordination
and completion and can require corresponding change orders or construction change directives (or their equivalent) that may
affect the cost of the construction of the Project. None of the foregoing acknowledgments affect TT’s responsibility to meet the
Standard of Care; however, such acknowledgments do indicate the parties’ agreement that additional costs arising from such
subsequent revisions or corresponding change orders or construction change directives (or their equivalent) are a possible
consequence of this project delivery method and do not in and of themselves constitute a breach of the Standard of Care. In
consideration of the benefits to the Client and the Owner of employing the “fast track” process, the Client hereby agrees to
waive all Claims against TT Parties for design changes and for modifications made by contractor to portions of the construction
work already constructed due to the Client's decision to employ the “fast track” process and related coordination issues. The
Client hereby agrees to compensate TT for all Additional Services required to provide any services performed to modify portions
of the construction work already constructed, to modify, correct or adjust the drawings, specifications and other documents
prepared by it and to coordinate such documents in order to meet the Client's program requirements because of the Client's
decision to construct the Project in a “fast track” manner.
Project-Specific Condition 3 – Waivers of Liability and Indemnification Agreements Regarding Access to Premises and Use of
Ladders, Scaffolds, Equipment. If in connection with the Services, TT is required to access buildings, property, facilities or
equipment, such as scaffolding, lifts, platforms or ladders, owned and/or controlled by other individuals or entities including the
Client or a contractor (collectively “Access”), Client shall, at its expense, arrange for safe and reasonable access for TT and its
consultants to any site where Access is required to perform the Services. The parties recognize that TT did not create and is
not responsible for the existence of any unsafe or hazardous conditions in such buildings or facilities or on such property. The
parties further recognize that TT is not responsible for, and does not have control over, the erection, operation or maintenance
of equipment such as scaffolding, lifts, platforms or ladders. Therefore, neither TT or its consultants, nor any of their employees,
shall be required to execute any document whereby they: i) waive or release any claims or rights with respect to personal injury
or damage to property related to Access; or ii) indemnify, defend or save harmless any individual or entity with respect to any
losses which may be sustained in connection with Access in order to obtain Access. TT agrees that in connection with Access,
TT and its employees will exercise due care and will not behave in a reckless manner.
Project-Specific Condition 4 – Construction Support Services. The parties understand and agree that TT may, with the Client’s prior
approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) be engaged by other parties, including the contractors
involved with the Project, to provide Construction Support Services (CSS). In the event that TT is engaged to provide CSS, the
following provisions apply: CSS shall not constitute Services under this Agreement and, except as provided below, the other
provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to CSS. By providing CSS, TT does not alter its rights or obligations under this
Agreement. In the event the Client brings any claim or cause of action against TT Parties related to the CSS, the limitation of
liability set forth in Paragraphs 15 and 17, and the waiver of consequential damages set forth in Paragraph 16, shall apply to
such actions or causes of action. Client has no contractual rights or causes of action against TT Parties arising out of CSS.
Project-Specific Condition 5 – Standard Requirements for Confidentiality Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties, any Confidentiality Agreement shall at a minimum be subject to the
following exclusions and provisions. The provisions of any confidentiality obligation related to the Project shall not apply to any
documents, data or information which is required by operation of law to be disclosed by TT or which: i) was known to TT without
restriction prior to disclosure by, or on behalf of, Client; or ii) was independently developed by TT; or iii) is now or hereafter
comes into the public domain through no fault of TT; or iv) is disclosed to TT without restriction on disclosure by a third party
who has the lawful right to make such disclosure to TT. Notwithstanding any obligation on the part of TT to return or destroy
any confidential documents, data or information, TT will be permitted to retain and/or use a copy of such documents, data or
information to document its compliance with the requirements of any confidentiality obligation and any agreements related to the
Project and/or for defending or maintaining any litigation (including administrative proceedings) relating to such agreements and
as otherwise required by law; provided that such retained materials shall otherwise continue to be safeguarded as confidential in
the manner required by the confidentiality agreement.

RE: KILLAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
MSBA Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) – Landscape Architecture Additional Services (Upon
Request)
READING, MA
Dear Jenni,
It is with great pleasure that we submit this proposal for the Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) additional services
(upon request) for the Killam Elementary School project, located in Reading, Massachusetts.
1.0 Scope of Services
Based on your email (dated 05/27/2025), it is our understanding that, upon Client request, you would like our
assistance in developing the Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) for the Killam Elementary School project.
It is also our understanding that Lavallee|Brensinger Architects (herein known as the “Client”) is interested in
creating an engaging site design that will accommodate the passive and active recreational needs of the user
group(s), while generating a successfully engineered and environmentally sensitive place that will be aesthetically
appealing for the future generations of students and faculty.
Please note that this Letter Proposal for Additional Services is a supplement to our base Design Development
through Project Closeout Proposal, dated 05/16/2025.
Please note that the following tasks are not included as part of this Scope of Services: Site Permitting (i.e.: ConCom,
Planning Board, etc.), Site Preparation & Demolition Plans, Off-site Abutter Landscape Design Plans, Tree Species
Identification, Health and Vigor Evaluation (trees), Invasive Species Documentation, Site Lighting Design
(technical), Sub-Surface Underdrainage Design, Irrigation Design, Site Signage/Wayfinding, CPSI/Play
Representative Services, 3-D Imagery, Cost Estimation, Bid Sheet Development, and Contractor Bid Review and
Selection Services. However, we would be happy to provide any of these services, upon Client request, which
would be billed at our standard hourly rates as listed below in this proposal.
1.1 Topological Survey – By Others | Completed Under Separate Contract
Prior to the development of our plans, we will review the existing site survey with the superimposed proposed
building and site elements, as well as the surveyed existing trees and site vegetation, as provided by the civil
engineer. This survey/linework base file will ultimately serve as the base plan from which we can establish precise
layout and measurements to facilitate the Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s).
2
1.2 Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) - Upon Request
A. We will visit the site to take field notes and photographs of the existing conditions to understand the site
development opportunities and constraints.
B. We will then research the Town’s landscape regulations to ensure that we adhere to the submission
requirements pertaining to the Tree Protection & Removal documentation.
C. After the Town’s requirements are understood, we will then develop a plan(s) (AutoCAD format) that
indicates the tree types and/or species, and caliper and/or DBH (Diameter Breast Height) sizes as provided
on the topological site survey (by others). The Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) will clearly indicate the
trees to be protected and removed within the project area that can be shared with the civil engineering
consultant for inclusion in their site preparation plans.
D. If the Town, Town Arborist, or Town Officials and Boards require individual tree species identification, a
comprehensive evaluation of health and vigor, and/or the documentation of invasive species on the site,
we would be happy to provide these Field Services as an additional service to the Tree Protection &
Removal Plan(s) on an hourly basis per our fee schedule below. Alternatively, the Client may enlist the
services of a licensed arborist, who will prepare an official report documenting the items outlined above,
under separate contract.
E. Per the Town of Reading, it is our understanding that: “As per Chapter 87 of the Massachusetts General
Laws (MGL), all trees within a public way or on the boundaries thereof shall be public shade trees. Chapter
87, Section 3:...Public shade trees shall not be cut, trimmed, or removed, in whole or in part, by any person
other than the Tree Warden or his deputy, even if he be the owner of the fee in the land on which such tree
is situated, except upon a permit in writing from said tree warden, nor shall they be cut down or removed
by the Tree Warden or his deputy or other person without a public hearing and said Tree Warden or his
deputy shall cause a notice of the time and place of such hearing. The Reading Department of Public Works
has an inventory of public trees planted along most roadways, so if a resident is not sure whether a tree is
public or private, the first step is to call the DPW office at 781-942-9092. We will research the status of a
tree and respond back to the resident. If a resident requests a healthy tree be removed, a request should
be put in writing to the Tree Warden, c/o Town Hall, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, MA 01867-2601. The Tree
Warden will make a determination and a public hearing will be held.”
2.0 Schedule
We are prepared to begin work (2) weeks following the submission date of this proposal, upon your notice to
proceed, and will work with you to meet the project deadlines.
3.0 Fees
We will provide our services on a Fixed-Price LUMP SUM basis with a “Not-To-Exceed” design fee as outlined
below. We anticipate that any revisions to the drawings, per your request, would be minor and straightforward to
execute; however, should extensive changes or value engineering updates be requested, we will provide those
modification services on an hourly basis per our fee schedule (below) and will discuss these additional services
with you prior to undertaking any supplemental tasks. In addition, if illustrative imagery is needed, we will provide
these services on a T&M basis. Please note that we are prepared to revise our estimated budget and project
timeframe with a mutual agreement to refine our scope of services and to meet any deadlines that
Lavallee|Brensinger Architects has for the project.
TASK DESCRIPTION FEE
1.1 Topological Survey (By Others) N/A
1.2 Tree Protection & Removal Plan(s) $7,000.00
Please note that direct expenses are estimated within this proposal and are included in the basic services.
Permitting fees are not included in the fees summary.
Please note that the prices quoted within this proposal are valid for (60) days.
3
3.1 Fee Schedule
The Fee Schedule (hourly) is as follows:
Principal Landscape Architect $150.00/hour
Senior Associate Landscape Architect $115.00 - $100.00/hour
Associate Landscape Architect $95.00 - $85.00/hour
Junior Associate $85.00 - $70.00/hour
Administrative Services $55.00/hour
Upon the proposal’s signature agreement, the fees and terms shall remain in effect until the end of the proposal’s
calendar year. If the project continues beyond that time, and if Terraink’s standard hourly rates are adjusted for a
new calendar year, then the project rates and fees will be adjusted to align with the latest, standard hourly rates.
Terraink is committed to providing Lavallee|Brensinger Architects with cost-effective, high-quality landscape design
services and will be happy to provide any additional services, per your request, for supplemental documentation or
site construction services to assist your site improvement goals in any possible way.
As confirmation of your approval, and for our records, please sign and return one copy of this proposal document
at your earliest convenience.

Dear Director McGurl:
We have reviewed the documentation that was submitted by the Reading Public Schools
on March 13, 2025 for the construction project at Killam Elementary School. We have done
so in accordance with M.G.L. chapter 70B, section 6(6), which instructs us to certify
“…that adequate provisions have been made in the school project for children with
disabilities, as defined in section 1 of chapter 71B…”.
We are satisfied with the district’s proposal and believe their special education plan will
provide the community with an opportunity to serve its special education students well. The
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education certifies that this school
project has been planned to adequately provide appropriate space to serve the programs and
school populations referenced in M.G.L. chapter 70B, section 6(6) noted above.
Sincerely,
Matthew J. Deninger

members acknowledged the collective effort by the Town and the team that led to this
success.
CPL Team Update*
Mike Carroll announced that Shirley Ng had left the CPL team. An internal search was
conducted, and two candidates were presented to senior leadership. Following discussions
and evaluations, the team selected Justin Fredenzi to serve as the new Project Manager.
Carla Nazzaro confirmed that the team had met with both candidates and expressed
confidence in Justin’s ability to manage the project. She noted that he has already
participated in a few meetings and has made a positive impression.
Justin Fredenzi shared his background, stating he has over 20 years of experience in
construction, including six years working primarily on school projects and some public safety
facilities. He began his career as an electrician and progressed into project management.
His most recent large-scale project was the 420,000 sq. ft., $300 million Belmont Middle
High School. He is currently also working with Mike Carroll and Harani on a similar project
that is about one year ahead of the Killam timeline.
Mike Carroll added that this alignment in project timelines would allow for lessons learned
from the other project to be applied to Killam. Justin’s hands-on construction background
was a key factor in his selection, especially as the project moves into the construction phase
On a motion by Ed Ross, seconded by Pat Tompkins the Killam School Board
Committee voted 7-0-0 to accept Justin Fredenzi as the new Project Manager from
Colliers
Roll call vote: Pat Tompkins – Yes, John Coote – Yes, Chris Haley – Yes, Ed Ross – Yes,
Greg Stepler – Yes, Nancy Twomey – Yes, Carla Nazzaro.
Mike noted that a formal letter will be sent to MSBA, and a template letter will also be
provided to Matt Kraunelis for submission.
CPL Financial Review*
Mike Carroll and Justin Fredenzi presented a detailed overview of the updated project
budget. The original feasibility and schematic design phase was budgeted at $2.2 million.
With the project moving into full development and construction, the new total project
budget is $130,130,783. Mike explained that the updated budget format would continue
using the existing structure but expanded to show more detail. Key budget points include:
• Hard cost contingency: $5.1 million
• Soft cost contingency: $1.1 million
• Remaining funds from feasibility: $108,000, transferred to soft cost contingency
• Total current contingency: $6.3 million
He clarified how the forecasting process works for change orders and potential risks.
Conservative projections will appear under the “forecast” column, and the team uses a high-
end estimate approach for clarity and risk planning.
Justin reviewed a set of budget adjustments, many related to previous votes and approvals.
Mike noted that the first three adjustments are for balancing the budget down to the
contingency. Justin mentioned that the fourth item is reflects cost differences for hiring a
new geothermal consultant and the Additional adjustments align line items with LBA
Amendments 14, 15, and 16. The commitment tab shows the breakdown of LBA and CPL

commitments through Design Development to Closeout phase. Ed Ross inquired if an
addition of $5886 is only added to the previous geothermal commitment. Mike Carroll and
Jenni Katajamaki discussed the increase in the cost noting that the bids were sent to several
vendors and received only from Ogden Wells, despite outreach to multiple vendors.
Brightcore, the previous consultant, backed out due to their business model requiring a full
turnkey contract, which is incompatible with public procurement rules in Massachusetts.
The committee emphasized the importance of the test well for understanding geothermal
conductivity and, more importantly, how water will be managed on site during construction.
Water discharge and permitting logistics are critical for construction planning and cost
forecasting.
Mike Carroll and Jenny from LBA noted the test well results could impact decisions on future
well placements, potentially reducing the number of wells and saving substantial costs.
Coordination with the town for water and sewer considerations is ongoing and essential.
Pat Tompkins expressed concern Mike explained that current price pressure is more heavily
driven by labor shortages than tariffs, according to industry data. To manage potential cost
impacts, the team plans three additional cost estimates: at the end of design development,
at 60% construction documents, and at 90%. Mike noted that the project team is also
preparing early bid packages for long-lead items such as the generator and switchgear.
These packages aim to secure critical equipment ahead of schedule and lock in pricing. A
potential early earthwork package was also mentioned, though that is less impacted by
tariffs.
Carla Nazzaro discussed if the shelter in place is going to be in both the buildings. Mike
clarified that the new school will not become an emergency shelter as it will change the
building code substantially. Leigh Sherwood from LBA confirmed at this time, it is designed
for “shelter in place” use per the Town’s and Fire Chief’s direction but is not classified as a
formal emergency shelter. He further noted that eliminating this requirement in the future
could result in savings, particularly related to generator size and building code demands.
Contract Amendments*
Justin presented invoices from LBA and CPL dating back to January to April. Mike noted that
per previously discussed workflow, if an invoice is within budget and within a current
commitment, it may be processed without waiting for a formal meeting. Carla Nazzaro
suggested that the committee revert to reviewing and approving all invoices during regular
monthly meetings for consistency and accuracy. Mike presented the cashflow table and
graph noting that the cashflow table now shows the full 130M total budget with the OPM,
Design, construction FFE, Misc. columns and contingency added.
On a motion by Carla Nazzaro, seconded by Ed Ross the Killam School Board
Committee voted 6-0-0 to accept the budget adjustments of $50,000 moved to
contingency, $55,000 moved to contingency, and $114,292 moved to contingency
for the J. Warren Killam Elementary School Project.
Roll call vote: Pat Tompkins – Yes, Nancy Twomey – Yes, John Coote – Yes, Chris Haley –
Yes, Ed Ross – Yes, Greg Stepler – Yes, Carla Nazzaro.
On a motion by Pat Tompkins, seconded by Ed Ross the Killam School Board
Committee voted 6-0-0 to approve LBA Amendment 14 for the J. Warren Killam
Elementary School Project for adding $5,886 to the original geothermal test well
budget.
Roll call vote: Pat Tompkins – Yes, Nancy Twomey – Yes, John Coote – Yes, Chris Haley –
Yes, Ed Ross – Yes, Greg Stepler – Yes, Carla Nazzaro.

On a motion by Pat Tompkins, seconded by Ed Ross the Killam School Board
Committee voted 6-0-0 to approve LBA Amendment 15 in the amount of
$9,050,000 for LBA basic services for the J. Warren Killam Elementary School
Project.
Roll call vote: Pat Tompkins – Yes, Nancy Twomey – Yes, John Coote – Yes, Chris Haley –
Yes, Ed Ross – Yes, Greg Stepler – Yes, Carla Nazzaro.
Mike Carroll discussed LBA amendment 16 in detail and noted that it covers expected
additional services that fall outside of the MSBA-defined "basic services" scope which include
work that was anticipated and budgeted for, such as geotechnical, geo-environmental, soil
testing, hazmat analysis, acoustical surveys, and plot plan work. Carla Nazzaro mentioned
that the design team in working on getting the sidewalk and street work include in the
traffic study contract. Jenni and Leigh from LBA clarified amendment 16 did not include
traffic-related work, ongoing discussions are in place to refine that scope and ensure only
essential and project-specific items are included.

CPL Schedule Update
Mike Carroll presented an updated project schedule, noting a one-month savings in design
duration due to early funding and the start of Design Development (DD) following the Notice
of Award. He emphasized on the two early bid packages planned, one for switchgear and
generator procurement to address long lead times, and another for over-excavation and site
preparation to mitigate unsuitable soils. These early efforts aim to accelerate construction,
reduce risk, and support a February 2028 move-in, allowing for timely demolition of the
existing building and completion of site work before the next winter season.

Review MSBA PFA Update*
Mike Carroll presented the five documents received from the MSBA following the successful
town vote, required to execute the Project Scope and Budget Agreement (PSBA) and move
forward with the Project Funding Agreement. These include: (1) a cover letter outlining
submission steps; (2) the PSBA form with project-specific details; (3) Exhibit A – the 3011
Total Project Budget form, aligned with the committee’s approved budget; (4) the Proposed
Schedule of Alternates, listing the solar parking canopy as an excluded item; and (5) Exhibit
H – Reimbursement Rate Certification, confirming a total rate of 52.19% based on base,
income, and wealth factors, plus credits for maintenance, green schools, and air quality. A
legal counsel certificate will also confirm signature authority. A single vote authorized the
appropriate signatories (Town Manager, Superintendent, SBC Chair, and School Committee
Chair) to execute the documents.

LBA Design Renderings Update
Jenni Katajamaki and Leigh Sherwood presented various slides updating the School Building
Committee on progress made over the past two months through focused sessions with two
stakeholder groups—one for exterior design and one for interior spaces. These groups,
made up of school leadership, teachers, facilities staff, and committee members, met
multiple times to provide direct input that helped shape the evolving design. The exterior
team refined materials, colors, and building massing, ultimately selecting a mix of warm
brick tones and durable panel systems to create a welcoming and child-scaled building that
fits the surrounding civic context. The interior group focused on function, aesthetics, and
durability—prioritizing comfort, safety, and ease of maintenance. Highlights include a
vibrant central lobby with natural light, shared learning areas, a tiered media center, and
durable finishes like wood-look tile and mesh guardrails for safety and visibility. These
collaborative working sessions brought the design significantly forward and reflect
community values and educational priorities.
Jenni presented a robust schedule of approximately 27 additional meetings that has been
coordinated with town departments, school staff, and consultants to address critical topics
such as technology, sustainability, security, food service, off-site improvements, and site
landscaping. Members of the SBC were invited to join relevant meetings based on interest
or expertise. Special focus has been placed on maintaining scope discipline and budget
alignment, particularly in high-impact areas like security systems and technology
infrastructure, where scope creep can occur. Mike Carroll noted that Colliers will attend
most meetings to help manage budget implications.
Additionally, the team shared a zoning update: the town will not require a variance for the
reduced on-site parking as initially anticipated. Instead, this will be addressed through the
site plan review process, which simplifies approvals. The team also noted that the modular
bid had to be reissued due to an incomplete initial submission but is now back on schedule.
Carla Nazzaro will be meeting with a neighboring property owner to further community
outreach.
