RECAP | PRELIMINARY DESIGN PROGRAM (“PDP”)

Community Meeting | January 10, 2019 3

The purpose of the Preferred Schematic Report is to summarize the process and conclusions of the Preliminary and Final Evaluation of Alternatives and to substantiate and document the District’s selection and recommendation of a preferred solution. The Report should clearly identify any changes incorporated by the District based on further evaluations and

• considerations. Conclusions will include:
• Overview of process since PDP submission, including any new information and changes
• Summary of updated project schedule
• Summary of the final evaluation of existing conditions
• Summary of the final evaluation of alternatives
• Summary of the District’s selection preferred solution to progress in to Schematic Design

SITE SELECTION | WHY THE SBC RECOMMENDS THE 500 SOUTH STREET LOCATION

The SBC has received some questions and comments regarding the possibility of utilizing the existing Middle School (old High School) and current High School locations. A total of six possible options were studied and

• ranked. The MS and HS properties, were deemed less feasible for the reasons including the following:

BRIDGEWATER MIDDLE SCHOOL (166 MT. PROSPECT STREET)

• Tight fit for additional building / potential for compromised layout
• Limited recreational play areas
• Increased vehicle traffic on Center St. is untenable per the Bridgewater

Police + Fire Departments BRIDGEWATER-RAYNHAM REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (415 CENTER STREET)

• Three-story school in close proximity to residential abutters
• Limited recreational play areas
• Requires the acquisition of land from abutters
• Has limited space for bus and parent drop-off

Community Meeting | January 10, 2019 5

EXISTING SITE | GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS AND ASSESSMENTS

The Architect’s team of consultants have conducted multiple tests and surveys of the existing site at 500 South Street. Preliminary reports include the following:

• Current building is NOT located in a wetland
• No evidence of ground water or flooding issues on the

site's buildable portion

• Well-draining gravel and sands
• Low water table

Current conceptual options for both Addition/Renovation or New Construction include significant sitework to ensure proper water management and drainage.
