In 2008, Town Meeting approved $350,000 for the completion of a feasibility study for the renovation and addition to the Intermediate Elementary School. State pays 53.53% ($187,000) - Goes back to Stabilization Cost to Town: $163,000 Review needs, determine options Determine “Preferred Option” - Least expensive project which meets educational requirements. Primary concern: Cost to Douglas Taxpayers

All classroom spaces full Special education classes held in room created from storage space Teacher and specialist offices in Library No room for expansion when additional sections of a grade are needed Bathroom capacity: Six stalls for girls, three for boys, nearly 400 students. Lines are frequent. Difficult at this age level. Cafeteria crowded at all three seatings. No space for additional tables
6
No available classroom spaces Lunch begins at 10:45 AM - five lunch sessions Small group tutorial spaces required for certain subjects (primarily math); none available Portable classrooms are past usable lifespan. Roofs leaking, very inefficient heating. Limited wireless capacity limiting technology use Improper grade structure Building is 25 years old, so major repairs are expected

Original Project Project cost: $65 Million Cost to Douglas: $30 Million Too expensive! Current classrooms too small (750SF vs 950SF) Not a problem to us, but it is to MSBA
8
Address building needs Don’t address classroom sizes Much less expensive Would MSBA reimburse for this? YES, as long as we didn’t include an addition What about new classrooms?
9
Move the addition about 100 feet, call it a new building Which grades go in which building? Intermediate School was Middle/High School, has science labs, perfect 6-8 Middle School New Elementary School less expensive to build than New Middle School New Elementary School: 2-5 Intermediate Middle School: 6-8

Use an existing school as starting point for a new school Sounds simple, but it’s new Certainty in outcome; “bugs” worked out Potential of savings during design and construction 5% additional incentive points ($1.5M) Town must be invited by MSBA to participate MSBA has never invited a town for an Elementary School - UNTIL NOW Modeled on Fort Banks Elementary, Winthrop, MA

In November 2010, Town Meeting approved $495,000 for the completion of a schematic design for the construction of a new Elementary School and repair of the Intermediate Elementary School. State pays 53.53% ($265,000) - Goes back to Stabilization Cost to Town: $230,000 Identify specific Intermediate School repair items Determine new building layout, exact location Determine costs

The best time to build is in a down economy Construction bids coming in 10-20% below budget Very low borrowing rates Waiting will require larger project for more students Waiting will cost more due to construction inflation
