Those in attendance were: M. Cowell, R. D'Antona, D. Farnham, R. Graham, R. Sanstad, D.. Williams and Architect David Finney. David Finney presented a status report of the elementary projects. He completed the Ed Specs and after considerable discussion and several modifications, a motion was made and accepted to accept them. This now provides the architect with a baseline document which he will use to develop his preliminary cost figures. He will have the first pass cost estimates for the committee on January 26. These figures will be structured in sufficient detail so they may be subjected to a level of analysis compatible with preliminary data. We did ask him to include in his figures the cost of gas conversion, including boiler replacement at both schools and cost involved in the repair of the J/E tower. He did caution us, however, that two previously unknown factors had entered the equation. The first factor was the extremely poor condition of the mechanical elements in the crawl space under Joshua Eaton. This situation could add $730K to the cost of that project. The other change was the request of the Fire Chief to install a full sprinkler-system in the school. The impact of this could be as much as $113K. The sub-committee on classrooms presented their report, which was subsequently accepted by the full committee. This report is attached. R. Sanstad reported on the meeting with Richard Davidson. Sanstad and R. D'Antona met with Richard for the purpose of showing him the new proposal for Birch Meadow and the rationale behind it. We will continue to interface with him for input as we progress. R. D'Antona, R. Graham and R. Sanstad attended a meeting on January 11th with the Town Manager and the Town Treasurer. The purpose was to give them an update on the projects and to receive from them the projected "affordability' data. The issue over scope of kitchen facilities in the elementary schools has been clarified. In a discussion between R. Sanstad and Dr. Munnelly, the Superintendent stated that the intent is to do all lunch meal cooking at Killiam and transport the food to the individual schools. Kitchens then would have to have warming ovens and dishwashing capabilities. This information was passed on to the architect. In preparation for selection of an architect for the Parker project, a sub-committee was established with Joe Lupi as Chairman. Serving with Joe will be Margaret Cowell and David Williams. The purpose of this group is. to serve as a scr?ening committee of all proposals received. Utilizing the required rating system contained in the RFP package, they are to select the top six candidates and report to the full SBC. The full committee will then schedule the six finalists in for formal presentations and interviews. Recognizing the sub-committee may have a voluminous number of documents to screen, and they cannot begin their task until 1-19, they were asked to bring their final recommendations in on 1-26-93. General discussions were also held regarding the approach to be used in preparing for Town Meeting. Several ideas were offered and the group was asked to give this further thought and be prepared to discuss it in more detail at a future meeting. In the interim, it was recommended we look into the approach used in a successful effort recently in Andover. R. Sanstad has the action to contact Eileen Wood for info. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 PM.
