  2. Agenda • Tonight’s goal: update the community and get advice on project • Project status and next steps • We are discussing: • Renovation/addition • New building at Malden Street site • New building on current site • Open discussion

  3. Tonight’s Schedule

  4. Project Status • Preliminary Design Program (PDP) has been filed with MSBA • Summarizes work done to date • Three reimbursable options • PreferredSchematic Report (PSR) currently in development • Examines PDP’s three options in more detail • Includes cost-range estimates • Will recommend one best solution

  5. State’s Share of Cost • Reimbursement rate • Current estimate is 52.9% • Some factors that can increase final rate are: • Adopting green-building standards and measures • Each measure has additional costs also • Renovating rather than building new • The exact, final rate will not be known until project is approved by MSBA in March 2013

  6. Next Steps • Tonight through Sept. 11: Receiving public comment on the three options • Mountview School Building Committee meets • Sept. 5 discuss PSR • Sept. 11 discussion and selection of solution • Sept. 27: PSR filed • Nov. 4: MSBA Board of Directors to vote on our proposed solution

  7. Our Options • Each option presented tonight will: • Meet MSBA standards and guidelines • Reflect the Wachusett educational program • Produce a 50-year building for 800 students • No other option will be reimbursed by MSBA

  8. Option: Renovation/Addition

  9. Renovation/Addition SUMMARY • Renovate and reconfigure existing building • Addition behind school (north) • 53,000 square-foot addition • Larger gross square footage • At least three school years • Accelerated during no-school periods • HazMat remediation

  10. Renovation/Addition ADVANTAGES • Lowest cost to Holden (by about $2.0 million) • Saves $19/year to average household • Utilizes existing structure • Utilizes current site • Neighborhood is used to school • No change to traffic patterns

  11. Renovation/Addition DRAWBACKS • Significant impact on students for 3 years • Temporary classrooms • Unforeseen conditions • Higher contingencies • Longer, more-complicated project schedule • Some teaching spaces will be sub-standard • Higher on-going operating costs

  12. Renovation/Addition PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES • Total project — $51 to $54 million (Includes cost to remediate HazMat and to provide temporary classrooms.) • Town’s share — $24 to $25 million • Annual cost to average house — $229 to $238

  13. Addition/Renovation Questions and Comments

  14. Option: New Building on New Site

  15. New Building on New Site SUMMARY • New, 128,000 square-foot building • Town-owned land behind Mayo School with entrance on Malden Street • Sufficient acreage, but some wetlands • Current Mountview site and building would remain town property

  16. New Building on New Site ADVANTAGES • Optimal building design for education • Lower risk of unforeseen conditions • No construction impact on students • Lower on-going operating cost • (Smaller building, modern materials/technologies) • Relieves traffic on Shrewsbury Street • Shortest construction timeline • Preserves Mountview building and site for alternate uses

  17. New Building on New Site DRAWBACKS • Most expensive option • Approximately $38/year more than reno/add • More costly site development • Wetlands pose permitting obstacles • Uncertain schedule • Increases traffic on Malden Street • No reimbursement for Mountview HazMat • Or for Mountview demolition

  18. New Building on New Site PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES • Total project — $59 to $62 million (Does NOT include costs to demolish Mountview or remediate HazMat, which are NOT reimbursable.) • Town’s share — $28 to $29 million • Annual cost to average house — $267 to $276 • Approximately $38 higher than renovation/addition

  19. New Building on New Site Questions and Comments

  20. Option: New Building on Current Site

  21. New Building on Current Site SUMMARY • New, 128,000 square-foot building • Construction behind existing building (north) • Mountview building used during construction • No change to Shrewsbury Street traffic • Reimbursed remediation of most HazMat • Reimbursed demolition of existing building

  22. New Building on Current Site ADVANTAGES • Optimal building design for education • Lower cost than new site option • Approximately $19 less per average house • Least risk for unforeseen conditions • Simpler schedule than addition/renovation • Lower on-going operating cost • (Smaller building, modern materials/technologies) • Utilizes current site • Neighborhood is used to school • No change to traffic patterns

  23. New Building on Current Site DRAWBACKS • Costs more than addition/renovation • Approximately $19 more per average house • Some impact on students • Construction works around school operations • Longer schedule than Malden St. option • Lose playing fields during construction

  24. New Building on Current Site PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES • Total project — $56 to $58 million (Includes costs to demolish Mountview and remediate most HazMat, which are reimbursable) • Town’s share — $26 to $27 million • Annual cost to average house — $248 to $257
