NORWALK SCHOOL PROJECTS
A. Roton Middle School
1. Project update by John Hawley (Program Manager)
Mr. Hawley introduced Mr. Ben Burdsall of Gilbane to present a review of the Roton Middle School renovation plan. Mr. Burdsall said the drawings, specifications and the cost estimate are complete. The project budget is being maintained. The drawings have to go to the State. He introduced Mr. Corey Nardonne of Silver Petrucelli Associates. Mr. Nardonne explained that there are new two-story connections between the existing buildings. They created new openings on the second floor. They increased the general accessibility requirements of the overall building. Windows, boilers, and the existing ceilings will be replaced. Abatement will be done on the flooring. The building will be completely outfitted with a sprinkler system. Fire alarms and emergency lighting throughout the school will be replaced. Handicapped parking spaces will be brought up to code, and further handicapped accessibility to the building will be provided. The three toilets on each floor in the back building will be upgraded to handicapped accessible. A science room from the back will be brought up front to create one entire science wing. This will be a sixth month construction project, to continue through next summer. The renovation of the science labs will be a model for other schools. If it becomes an add alternate, Mr. Burdsall said that the other three schools are in better shape than Roton Middle School. Mr. Krummel asked what “estimated construction costs, alternate IV” meant on the construction document estimate summary. Mr. Nardonne said it was the precast concrete. The masonry work is considered to be an alternate now, as it is a maintenance item, according to the State. It’s not part of the current estimate for the base bid work.
B. Brien McMahon High School/Center for Global Studies Improvement Project
1. Project update by John Hawley (Program Manager)
Mr. Hawley presented the Phasing Plan for Brien McMahon High School. It’s been under construction for two years as of this week. Phase II is under construction now. There has been $20M put in place over the last 7 months. Phase 3A is the other renovation that is underway now. It has a scheduled December 1 completion date. Phase 3B will start after the December break. They will move 80 classrooms and/or offices over the Christmas break. Ms. Bain asked about the December 1, 2005 occupancy date for the gym.

Mr. Hawley said that BEA #167 for $215,000 came out of the CM Contingency.

They have commitment dates for late October for Columbus, and early November for Tracey. Mr. Krummel asked if there were any steps taken to look at alternative energy technologies in the schools. Mr. Burdsall said they hadn’t looked at alternative energies for these two schools, though energy efficiencies of all equipment specified were a focus.

Mr. Hawley said that the programming has moved along well. Ms. Linda Stone from Becker & Becker met with the staff and the programming phase is almost near completion. Ms. Mary Budrawich is the new Board of Ed staff person. Surveyors will start next week. Schematic designs are due in November. It will be a challenging project, because the center doesn’t close for the summer. The architects have visited Norwalk Community College to coordinate the Ely work with their program.

Mayor Knopp wants NFCC to consider an alternative energy resolution for future building construction projects. Mr. Krummel has drafted an initial resolution that Mayor Knopp proposes to be placed on the agenda for next month.
The next NFCC meeting is November 2, 2005.
