00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:25.840
Uh, anybody on the line, Steve, Mark? Oh, Steve, you better got to step away for a second. >> Anybody uh for public comments this evening? Somebody's got their hand up. >> I don't see a hand up. Yolanda Davis. It looks like

2
00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:52.079
>> any attendees. >> I can't see a hand up. >> I don't see a hand either. >> Is it an attendee or something? >> If you if you open um double click on double click on participants and you'll see attendees. It's

3
00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:08.400
>> an attendee. Steve has to let them in though. It's the uh it's uh Miss Davis, one of the abunders. Steve stepped away for a second. He asked them. >> Why don't we come to Why don't we come back to that, Mark?

4
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:24.000
>> We will come back to that. Uh next item, approval of the past minutes from uh April 15th. Any comments on uh April 15's

5
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:42.240
minutes? >> Motion to approve as presented. >> Second. >> All in favor. >> Uh we'll do a roll call vote. Kelly. >> Kelly Clenchy. Yes. >> Uh Sean. >> Sean Hearn. Yes. >> Steveny. >> Steven. Yes.

6
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:59.200
>> Uh Jim. >> Uh Jim Dugen. Yes. >> Bob. >> Bob Ramley. Yes, >> Mike. >> Mike Scudo. Yes, >> Michelle. >> Michelle Kane. Yes. >> And Steve Moore. Yes. Motion carries. >> Excellent. Thank you.

7
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:16.959
Uh, next item on the agenda is the project schedule. If you can see in your screen, the milestone schedule that we've been looking at for the last few months is is up on the screen. Um, the highlighted area is the area where we are currently.

8
00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:33.280
>> Mark, Mark, I'm sorry. Can I interrupt? I apologize. I had to step away for a minute. Um, under public comment, there is a hand raise and I apologize. I'm late on this. >> No, we we did see that, Steve. If you want to bring this Davidson now. >> My my apologies.

9
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:55.280
>> Not a problem. Yolanda Davis, you should be coming in here. >> Okay. Hello. Hi. Um, >> name name and address, please, for the record. >> This is Yolanda Davis, 33 Shaker Lane.

10
00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:12.800
Um, so first of all, I did want to thank you for inviting us to the meeting yesterday. Um, we appreciate being included in the conversation. Um, I have first a question. When are you planning to do site plan review and

11
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:31.400
and storm water plan review with the planning board? >> I'm sorry, what was the first what was the first one? Site >> uh site plan review and storm water plan review with the planning board. Um, do you have that scheduled yet?

12
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:48.560
>> Trip or Mary Lee, do we have that scheduled yet? I don't I don't know if we do. >> Uh it's no it's not scheduled yet. Uh the general plan is to wait until we have the design development estimate set completed so we have a full set of

13
00:03:48.560 --> 00:04:04.879
drawings to take to them and show them. Uh so I think that would be uh aligned with the uh the planning board and board of health that you had mentioned uh in that other meeting. >> Okay. And then the uh so I also have a

14
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:20.560
comment because as you may remember uh Marilyn and Dr. Clenchi, we met on June last year to walk around the area that is uh basically along the border between our property and the school and we

15
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:36.560
shared our concerns with you including our concern for the PLA privacy for both us and actually the kids in the school and during that meeting you promised us a row of arborvite and then on July 10th we got a letter

16
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:53.520
from Dr. plant chief which was also sent to Merrily and Steve Moore and the letter was saying um we want to be good neighbors. We will work with you to design a suitable buffer between your property and the

17
00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:10.320
proposed new school. This buffer will consist excuse me of a 20ft landscaped area. A row of arborite is included in the project to enhance privacy. We are committed to working with you on the design of the buffer. So in the designs

18
00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:29.360
that you shared on July 29th, 2025, there was a row of 15 trees uh from about where our house is towards the northern edge of our property. The design that you showed yesterday showed

19
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:47.120
only six trees right next to the house and it didn't look like there is any privacy buffer whatsoever for the rest of the border. So the letter said that you would work with us on designing a buffer, but we weren't notified about

20
00:05:47.120 --> 00:06:04.319
this change from 15 trees to six trees just by our house. and we find just six trees, that's definitely not sufficient to create an appropriate privacy area. Um, and then actually, so we look

21
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:21.919
forward to hearing from you about working together on designing an appropriate buffer. >> Yeah. Um, Miss Davis, this this is work is ongoing. The site plan is not anywhere near complete yet. Um and we we

22
00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:37.919
certainly stand to that um comment that was made that we're going to work with you completely to get this done. So comments might have been made a year ago saying so many trees and now the plan the other day showed less amount of trees, but we we're committed to be good neighbors on this project that was stated and we will certainly work with

23
00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:53.759
you to make sure that a a proper buffer is established for both you and the school there. So it's it's an ongoing process. It's not it's not done yet. It's not baked yet. So we're doing that. >> Thank you. I've never been through a project like this, so I have no idea how

24
00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:10.880
things work. It's just that I was well, I have to say alarmed by no buffer whatsoever for most of the border. So, thank you for um assuring us that you will work with us. >> Understood. Things change. The biggest thing you'll know about a project like

25
00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:27.440
this is things change. So, we'll do our best to keep the communication lines open and and keep you informed of the things that are going to happen. So, thank you for uh for bringing things up. Any other uh public comments? Did we see any other attendees? >> Uh no, not at this time.

26
00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:44.479
>> Not seeing that. We'll go back to where we just were at the project schedule. Um we are currently in the highlighted box right now uh in the middle of uh towards the end almost of design development. We're looking at design development being submitted around the middle of June. Um then as we go through

27
00:07:44.479 --> 00:08:01.520
the process with u reconciliations and cost estimates submission to the MSBA um finishing that about a month later middle of Jan of July uh and then as that goes on they'll the the design team will start moving into um construction

28
00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:17.199
documents um construction documents this again is the milestone schedule talk in a minute about the the detailed schedule that they're working on um but on the milestone schedule here we're looking at construction construction documents going for at least another year, probably to the middle of July of next

29
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:33.200
year. Um, after the same process of the construction documents getting completed, estimated, reviewed, submitted to the MSBA for their comments. Once that once that's done, then Doane will be finalizing either early bid packages, getting the rest of

30
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:49.680
the file sub bid set up, and and hopefully get construction started um around, you know, June of 27. um completing hopefully around May of 29. Um getting the the project done in the summer of

31
00:08:49.680 --> 00:09:06.480
29, mid to end of summer 29, get moving, all set up, punch list, all that fun stuff, and then get the project open for September of uh 2029. So, this schedule is still being followed. Um we're on schedule. Um Trip, do you want to just talk a little bit about the project

32
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:21.600
schedule that you guys are working on? Yeah, I mean the the detailed project schedule reflects what Mark kind of outlined. Uh what we've been working on since last month was again aligning with that that um kind of baseline plus which

33
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:37.600
again is working towards one early bid package with the project team that we would start commencing the bidding process in March of 27. Uh Sudo G is aligned with our team to set up and be prepared for that early bid package. Uh

34
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:53.519
that would allow the site work to commence in July of 2027 and run out the construction of the building to be substantially complete in May of 29 which will then allow the support the district occupying operating the new building for the start of the 29 fall

35
00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:10.640
semester. Phase two of the project which is the abatement demolition of the existing building and construction of the new playing fields that would commence in this project schedule in July of 29 which will start with the demolition of the existing building and be substantially complete that phase in

36
00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:26.399
December of 2029. So aligns with the milestone schedule that Mark here presented here um with the details within our P6 construction schedule that we've been circulating as a project team >> and as that's being developed and being reviewed once we're at a point where we

37
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:40.959
can share that with you guys, we'll share that with you guys as well. Um it is very detailed. There's a lot of breakdowns and mile milestones and things like that, but once once that's all completed, we'll we'll certainly share with everybody. Any other any other comments or

38
00:10:40.959 --> 00:11:02.240
questions about the project schedule? Very good. Uh we'll go now to the budget. Um the the budget is the standard budget. You've seen uh every meeting we have on budget on the project. Invoices have been submitted um and accounted for

39
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:18.200
uh in the in the total project budget. We've got a bunch of invoices to talk about this evening. Um, the project is still on budget. We are Let's just get to the bottom here. We are currently

40
00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:35.440
two, what is it? 2 million approved invoices to date. Um, so out of the the 99 12 million is committed. Uh, 84 still uncommitted. two millions

41
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:50.720
been approved to date and we've got a balance of 9 million remaining on the funds that are there. So um this is has been updated to add all of the in invoices that um have been approved and included and um I don't know if all the

42
00:11:50.720 --> 00:12:03.920
ones from this evening have been put in there. I see the landscaping one is but most likely all the ones we put in there as well. So we are doing well on the budget as of today. Um project is on budget.

43
00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:25.600
Any questions for the budget? Okay, hearing none, we'll go back to the agenda uh for project updates. So for us, Turner and Townsen in Theory, I would like to introduce a new team member. Chris Trembley will be joining the team.

44
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:41.600
Um he has joined the team. He got involved with us a week or two ago. Um, Chris has been with Haryi for 15 years and has worked on many public school projects. Chris, would you like to introduce yourself? >> Yeah, I'm Chris Turnway, project manager, Turner Towns and Harry, OPM.

45
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:58.560
Um, yes, 15 years with the company. Uh, multiple MSBA projects, most recently um at Tukbury Elementary School. Similar project, uh, I guess budget size. Uh, working with Peter. Um, also I guess I live uh locally in Chelmsford, grew up

46
00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:15.240
in uh Westford and uh I guess I played Nshoba youth hockey with the Westford and Littleton youth program quite a while ago. So um looking forward to joining the team and um meeting everyone.

47
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:32.399
>> Great. Thank you, Chris. Um coordination meetings happen weekly. We meet every Thursday morning um 10:00 with the team to go through items and issues that are ongoing with the project and anything that's ongoing or happening we report back to the committee. Um but we do meet

48
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:48.240
weekly. Um site investigation work is ongoing. Um playing field restoration I believe is complete. The landscape um people did their work. There's a invoice for their work uh being presented this evening. Uh we will have some further

49
00:13:48.240 --> 00:14:03.440
site investigation. There was a recommendation made and I apologize Mayor Lee, we weren't able to get it on the agenda for this evening, but I figured we'd bring it up um that we're going to we're going to try to do some um to to identify in the geotechnical field

50
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:20.560
where the um bedrock potentially might be or some ledge. Um there's a pos there's a a process of um sound waves that can be used to penetrate the ground and ident identify where the potential bedrock might be. Um what's good about a

51
00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:35.120
service like this is that it doesn't disturb the field at all. We're not doing test pits or borings to rip the field up because we understand how important the field is to the to the um parks and recck group and the um the youth baseball and the adult softball

52
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:52.079
league. So, the field work is completed. Um, the field's back to plain condition. Um, we're going to try to um do a little bit more investigation um to try to understand where we are on bedrock. And and correct me if I'm wrong, Treery, we also looking at the the area for where

53
00:14:52.079 --> 00:15:08.399
the building foundation may go to or we just focusing on the geothermal areas. Yeah, I could uh I was going to speak to further study that uh we're we're discovering needs to be done as we learn more about the site. Uh so yes, Spark, you are correct. I learned the official

54
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:24.959
term for that type of survey is a seismic refraction survey and it yeah it maps out the top surface of the bedrock. And the reason uh we need this information at the geothermal well fields is because of the horizontal

55
00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:42.880
connections between the wells need to be below the frost line. So we need to see how deep the bedrock is. You know if it's if it's five feet or more shallower more shallow then it needs to be removed in order to get those horizontal connections deep enough. Uh so there is

56
00:15:42.880 --> 00:15:57.600
a proposal I believe it's with TTH at the moment and they could pass that along and uh in our discussions during our our weekly check-ins uh we talked about how it would really help for risk

57
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:13.199
management uh to do the same type of survey at other areas of the site especially where we are intending to run utility connections from the street and where we're planning on putting connections between the the wellfield

58
00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:31.360
and the building. Uh it just just really it's not a huge expense compared to finding a big surprise of additional leads that we did not realize it was there. So I'm working on getting a proposal for additional seismic

59
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:48.399
refraction survey. uh we are waiting on the results from the borings and test fits and we're going to use those results to help us figure out the scope of that survey. It's going to tell us where we really need to know more information about the depth of the ledge. So, uh keep an eye out for that

60
00:16:48.399 --> 00:17:04.319
one. >> And then sorry, go ahead. >> No, continue. Sorry. >> Okay. And then the last thing that we are looking at right now is there was some urban fill found at the north end

61
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:19.120
sort of the north corner of the upper field uh near that upper uh baseball field up there behind home plate. Uh and this is another example of risk management where we need to do

62
00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:35.200
additional testing to determine the volume of the material that needs to be removed. Uh the urban fill, it needs to be tested to see what it is, how much there is of it, and that affects how it gets removed. Uh depending on what's in

63
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:53.600
it, it might be need to be shipped to a separate location, a separate landfill when it's being removed from the property. But finding out how much that there is is going to help us know the expenses that's going to be required for those sooner rather than later.

64
00:17:53.600 --> 00:18:08.880
>> So, we we received the proposal this morning. Um we'll review it. uh we'll get it over to the financial subcommittee group um once the approval is is reviewed um and hopefully we can get the okay to get that started uh and get that information back over to um

65
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:25.440
Studio G and their and their consultants. Um >> yeah, and I think one thing that we we haven't talked about is uh the budget specifically for the reimburseables section. Uh the MSPA has certain things broken out like wetland studies and site

66
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:40.960
survey and all of this testing that we're doing and uh there was $995,000 budgeted for this purpose and of that we've spent uh or we've approved under $500,000 and usually the bulk of that is

67
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:56.480
spent during design development and during permitting. So, um, without having the numbers in front of me, I would say you're in really good shape in terms of the reimburseable budget. >> Yeah, thanks. >> We we'll take a look at that a little,

68
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:11.679
you know, in detail once we have all those together, but thank you for the on that. >> Um, last item is again daily activities going on with the scheduling and conversations with the team and everything continues weekly. >> Merrily, I think you you uh jumped ahead here, which is fine and talked about a

69
00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:28.000
lot of stuff already. Um any anything else? >> Hey Mark, c can we go back to the previous uh uh one thing that I had asked Peter to include on here was um an update from yesterday's meeting. >> Yes. >> You know if if you can go over that a

70
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:46.720
little bit. >> Um >> how well attended it was. >> Yes. Um I don't know if he added it to the new agenda that he put together. uh updates. Well, we can just we can just tell you we we had a uh a very good

71
00:19:46.720 --> 00:20:01.840
meeting yesterday afternoon. I thought um 20 28 people or so uh from the town departments, a couple of the abutters, uh police, fire, um the whole group that we sent out to to give them a an update on the project. Uh very similar to what

72
00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:18.080
we just talked about with the schedule. Uh Mary Lee had a nice site plan, branded site plan to walk everybody through where everything's going with the traffic, the location of the building, the new playing fields, um emergency access, etc. Um and then we open it up to Q&A uh for everybody and

73
00:20:18.080 --> 00:20:33.039
uh there really weren't many comments from the town departments or group that was there. Um Kathleen and and Miss Davis had comments um that we addressed and they had concerns about the project and the the way things are are going and and what the construction activities

74
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:48.799
will be like etc. Um I think those were answered properly and keeping them informed. Uh but overall it was I thought it was um attended very well and I thought it was um I thought it went well. We told them we will do this periodically um and reminded them that

75
00:20:48.799 --> 00:21:04.880
you know there is monthly meetings with this group every third Wednesday of the month but we'll try maybe you know every six weeks or so week or two before you know this meeting or the next one. Um just give people another update just to keep them informed. >> Okay. Thanks Mark.

76
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:20.320
>> Absolutely. Um yeah so we talked about the additional bedrock playing fields meeting. Any other things under Studio G Merrily that you wanted to address? >> Oh, yes. I have I have some stuff to talk about. >> All right.

77
00:21:20.320 --> 00:21:36.240
>> Okay. So, uh I already covered the first part of what I wanted to say. Um, I also wanted to point out that we had a meeting specifically about the playing field with Parks and Wreck, Littleton youth baseball and softball and the DPW

78
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:59.840
and looked at the plan for let me see if I can share my screen. Uh we looked at the plan for the playing fields that will be installed here down here when the existing building is demolished and the feedback was they

79
00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:16.320
would like to be able to use these two fields at the same time. So, our landscape architect is currently working on pushing them further apart so that there is not this area of overlap. Um, we also showed them the pathways around

80
00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:34.240
this area. The plan is to make this a much more pedestrianfriendly area and restore some of the area that's currently paved for drive aisles. Restore it to a vegetated state so that eventually it can uh fill

81
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:51.039
with plants that are wetland adjacent. You know, these plants in the wetland area, they will expand and naturally fill in over time. Uh, and because we are so close to this little bowl right here of wetlands, uh, taking vehicles and taking pavement away from this area

82
00:22:51.039 --> 00:23:06.799
helps protect that and makes this a much nicer area for when people are out here playing or walking around in the site. Uh, another thing we looked at with them is this little corner right here. This is where the existing playground is. And

83
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:22.559
one uh comment that we had heard was with this design when uh parents are there and their kids are playing on these fields and maybe there's a sibling who wants to play at the playground, there's no way for a parent to both supervise a child up here at the

84
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:37.760
playground behind the school and also watch their kid down here on these playing fields. So, uh, we've realized that we can preserve some of the playground equipment that exists right here and protect it during construction

85
00:23:37.760 --> 00:23:53.520
and maintain a little bit of that available to have a small playing area adjacent to these fields. If we find that preserving the playground equipment is not actually feasible, then this can very easily be turned into sort of a more natural play area. So, kids can

86
00:23:53.520 --> 00:24:10.240
play right here, much closer to the field. Uh while I have this up and looking, I'll just show some of the updates. We looked our landscape architect has been focusing on the front approach to the school right here and what this looks

87
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:25.200
like for circulation as the kids are getting out of the cars and off of the buses and making their way to the front door. and they have been looking at the rear play area uh where they have a nice mix of the rubber playground material

88
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:42.159
around uh structures versus natural planted area and paths and plenty of room for them to run. Uh we talked about including this upper portion of this emergency access loop inside of the

89
00:24:42.159 --> 00:24:58.960
playground fence. So that really increases the amount of play area available to the kids. And we can paint games on that black top. Uh maybe paint some uh uh like pathways, something fun out there for very short money. And that really improves the experience of the

90
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:16.159
kids out here on the playground. There's also this area right here uh which would have some exterior furniture set up for an outdoor learning space. We have the pre-tape playground right here which is also fenced in to keep

91
00:25:16.159 --> 00:25:32.320
those kids contained. And the fence is directly connected to the building. So as soon as they walk out this door, they are in this fenced area. Uh let's see here. Everything else on here remains the same programmatically. We still have this access point here off

92
00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:48.080
of Shaker Lane. Uh we've been looking at some refinements to how this works in here with the grade and we have uh we've we've got the space planned for an 18-wheeler to make a delivery to this loading area here. They would come in,

93
00:25:48.080 --> 00:26:04.159
come down this drive here to approximately here, and then they would back up into here, unload at the loading dock, and then make their way out. Uh, they can go that way or that way, but I think we'd prefer to keep them out of this neighborhood so they can come right

94
00:26:04.159 --> 00:26:24.400
back out the way that they came in. >> Yes, Steve. >> Um, if you want to finish, Mary Lee, you can go right ahead. I was >> I was ask if there's any questions. >> I'm sorry. I thought she was done. Sorry. >> Um, my early question was, you know, you

95
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:40.640
talked about the meeting yesterday. There was a meeting a week ago also design meeting. Can you talk a little about how that went and how many people came to that? >> The community forum. >> Yeah, for the design. >> Yep. That's next on my list. Any any

96
00:26:40.640 --> 00:27:00.159
questions on this before I I move to that? Okay. Hearing none. Uh so yes, we had the community forum last week and uh it was really great turnout. There were some new faces that I had not seen before. The new superintendent also was

97
00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:17.600
able to make it. He participated in the discussion and I think the the best takeaways from it was there is a lot of consensus already in the town about what are the important things in Littleton that should in some form make their way

98
00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:35.679
into this school. Uh it was very heavy on the uh natural areas, the beautiful nature around Littleton uh including you know plants and animals and pathways and the lakes and uh the NOA ski and a

99
00:27:35.679 --> 00:27:52.799
sledding hill and it was it was very inspirational to hear people be really excited about this and have lots of good ideas and uh we we documented everybody's ideas and uh it was it was great for myself and Hannah from my office also came uh to hear all of that

100
00:27:52.799 --> 00:28:07.520
and we're going to sort of synthesize everything that we heard and use it to guide our decisions in the building moving forward. It's going to affect things like environmental graphics and maybe some of the way that we detail some items in the school such as you

101
00:28:07.520 --> 00:28:24.960
know stair railings and window mullions things like that. So, it's it's really helping to bring the school to life. And the one thing I did want to share from that meeting was I had done we did a white model fly through and it basically

102
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:41.520
is a flyrough of the building with no colors or finishes uh applied to it. So, the idea was we're working with a blank canvas. We need to bring this to life and we need your ideas for inspiration. So, I'm gonna stop talking and play the

103
00:28:41.520 --> 00:30:28.640
video and let you enjoy this. All right. So, we shared that. I think everybody was was inspired by it and excited to see some of these faces uh in a little bit more reality than just looking at a uh floor plan. So, uh that

104
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:45.279
video and the updated site plan we are going to be sending to TTH so that they can uh make an update to the project website. This is really the first design update that uh people will be people

105
00:30:45.279 --> 00:31:04.799
will have seen in quite a while. So I think now that it has been shown publicly, it would be great to get it up on the project website. Uh I have one other thing to talk about. Does anybody have any questions on the video? No. Okay. So I think that's a great

106
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:20.720
tool. >> Awesome. It's fun for us to see it also because we we've been looking at this in 3D and it's it's really amazing when we we get so into it in 3D and we start applying all the finishes and it really looks like a real space and then we go to the

107
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:36.159
actual school and it's >> it's exactly how we expected it to be. It's it's a great tool the technology that we have available to us. All right. So, very last thing is uh some podcasts that I am participating in. Uh there was one a couple of weeks

108
00:31:36.159 --> 00:31:52.240
ago uh where Gil Bane and I were on pause on Littleton with Shauna Hearn and Kelly and uh just talked about uh how how exciting we how excited we are to be working with Gil Bane again on another

109
00:31:52.240 --> 00:32:07.440
project and uh excitement about the project. And then tomorrow I will be in a sustainability podcast with the sustainability committee talking about some of the sustainability features of the school. So I'm excited to talk about

110
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:24.880
the geothermal system and some of the other measures that we have and I'll have some uh some good data to share about how sustainable we are compared to schools nationally and compared to schools in Massachusetts.

111
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:42.240
Thank you for doing that, Mary Lee. You, Jonathan, Kelly were great. I really appreciate you taking the time. >> It was it was a lot of fun. >> Excellent. Uh, we did mention the design development progress status in the schedule update. Uh, we're looking at June 17th to get that all wrapped up and

112
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:56.720
start the review process and the cost estimating process. Um, >> June 12th, >> sorry, June 12th. My bad. June, mid June. Um, Gil Bane, project updates. you want to address this for for a minute there, Trip or John?

113
00:32:56.720 --> 00:33:14.720
>> Yeah, absolutely, Mark. Um, and I won't repeat some of the things, but again, we've been working on the project schedule since last SBC meeting uh which we presented at the milestone level at the beginning of the meeting, but um that aligns with what was reviewed and discussed with this group last month. Um

114
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:31.440
so that is what we presented at the beginning of this meeting. We've been uh participating with Studio G in their design development meetings as kind of observers and getting engaged with constructibility and other uh design items as their team is progressing through the design of the

115
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:47.120
building. We've also been working on some costing exercises as we attend some of those meetings. Um, Studio G has really dug in and started looking at some really finite details with the envelope, with the windows, as well as some interior elements that myself and

116
00:33:47.120 --> 00:34:04.000
my my pre-construction team are working on some costing exercise to help better influence and get the most cost effective design and products and materials within the building. So, that has been an ongoing exercise that we're continuing to do with the entire project team. Um, we've met with Pseudo G and

117
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:19.440
their consultants just to review some of the results from the pre-construction work that happened over April vacation. Um, and that yielded some additional uh, exploratory testing that Mary Lee and Mark both explained at the beginning of the meeting. So, uh, those I think

118
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:35.200
yielded that work yielded a lot of good information and some follow-up activities for our team uh, to further progress from a design perspective through the pre-construction phase. Uh, as Mary Lee noted, Jonathan and actually Lyall Reid, who is a Littleton resident

119
00:34:35.200 --> 00:34:52.079
as well on our project team, they attended the community workshop last week. So, thanks to Jonathan and Lyall for attending that with SGA and the rest of the team. And then uh new item for us, we are actually Jonathan and I uh got connected with Heidi McGregor who is

120
00:34:52.079 --> 00:35:08.000
the K through five st integration specialists within the district. Uh Jonathan and I are actually participating and helping her with the district-wide STEM challenge next Tuesday, uh May 26th called the Can Do Critters. So Jonathan and I will be

121
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:25.000
meeting up with Heidi in the class and participating in that event with her with her and her students. So we're excited to be doing that and getting engaged with her classroom as well. >> Excellent. Any questions for uh Gil Bannon construction manager update?

122
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:42.400
Okay, the owner. Um, couple of items to discuss. Sadly, the retirement of Superintendent Clinchy coming at the end of June. And we know we have a new superintendent who joined the meeting with us yesterday, which was nice. He had a conflict for this

123
00:35:42.400 --> 00:36:00.160
evening. Um, but he joined the meeting yesterday, which is great, and it'll be good getting him engaged in the project going forward. Uh, and are you gonna attempt you gonna attempt an election of a for vice chair at the meeting this evening? >> Mr. Chairman, >> is there is there a nominee for the uh

124
00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:17.000
new vice chair? >> I would uh like to nominate Sean Hearn. >> Thank you. I'd accept. >> Well, it hasn't been seconded yet. Sean, >> say I'd be willing. >> I'll second it. >> I'll second it.

125
00:36:17.359 --> 00:36:34.560
Okay. All in favor? Uh, Kelly. >> Kelly Fei. Yes. >> Sean. >> Sean Hearn. Yes. >> Uh, Steve Venudi. >> Steve. Yes. >> Uh, Jim. >> Jim Dugen. Happily, yes. >> Uh, Bob. >> Bob Ramley. Yes.

126
00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:49.920
>> Uh, Mike. >> Mike Scanuto. Yes. >> Michelle. >> Michelle Kane. Yes. >> And I will uh I will say yes as well. So that's a unanimous welcome Sean. >> Thank you all.

127
00:36:49.920 --> 00:37:06.880
>> Excellent. Um item item seven we've talked upon already. The the the potential bedrock survey came out today. We'll be reviewing that and getting that information out hopefully to the pre um the committee the financial committee to get that started. Um item eight, no nothing to report. Item nine, nothing at

128
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:24.160
this point. Uh we discussed on item 10 most of the project meetings that have been going on, coordination meetings, field meetings, uh project updates with the department that took place on the 19th which went very well. Um item 11, project invoices. We have four invoices to submit for approval this evening. Uh

129
00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:43.680
invoice number one, uh invoice 32 from Studio G Architects for basic services in the amount of $498,000. to do these separately. Do you do them all together? It's usually separate. Correct. >> I think we can uh review them separately

130
00:37:43.680 --> 00:38:02.320
and then vote on them as an aggregate. >> Sure. All right. So, item one, invoice number 32, $498,000 basic services, Studio G's. Uh item two, uh invoice number 33 from Studio G reimburseable services in the amount of 23,540.

131
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:21.040
um uh an invoice from AG Landscaping um in the amount of estimated to be $8,500 $8,500. We have I believe we have the actual amount. Yes. Invoice number

132
00:38:21.040 --> 00:38:39.839
1015 in the amount of $14,623.33 cents has been submitted. There was additional work that was asked of them to do. The original the original estimate I believe was about $9,000 and there was additional work for them to to do. That information was sent over to the financial subcommittee with a complete breakdown of all his invoice

133
00:38:39.839 --> 00:38:57.200
break information and we we were satisfied with that as well. Um item number four uh invoice return invoice number. I don't know who comes up with these PGIN 0047566 in the amount of $46,370

134
00:38:57.200 --> 00:39:12.480
for the design development phase. And just as a some uh information on AG landscaping, uh Peter and I both met with uh AG out there a couple of weeks

135
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:31.839
ago and uh it was determined there was additional work in involved due to uh request from park and wreck and uh so that uh that work was uh completed. >> Excellent. So, are there are there any uh comments or questions on any of the

136
00:39:31.839 --> 00:39:51.280
four invoices? >> Motion to accept all of them. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> Second. >> Okay, we'll do a roll call vote. Kelly. >> Kelly Clenche. Yes. >> Sean. >> Sean Hearn. Yes. >> Uh Steven.

138
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:21.920
meeting yesterday, Robin Healey did have a question about the updated cash flow, which we are currently working on um to include. We had the estimated cash flow to start the project. Now, we're going to be including actual numbers in the cash flow. We'll be submitting that information shortly.

139
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:39.280
Uh item 12, no new business. >> Can I Can I interrupt for a second? >> Sure. Can I go back to Sean appoint Sean's appointment on as the vice chair? I'm assuming the intent is to also uh add the new superintendent Mike Cyra

140
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:55.680
when he comes on board. But my question I guess to Mark Stafford is there's some notifications we have to do as a result of board member changes to MSBA. Do you handle that or >> Right. Yes, we will. >> Okay. All right. Just want to make sure it gets done. Thank we will take we will

141
00:40:55.680 --> 00:41:11.119
take care of that and also the addition of Chris on the team. Um it's a it's just a you know requirement that the MSP agencies understand where what who's in the project and who's coming and going. So yes, we we'll take care of all that. >> Yeah, I just want to make sure it gets done and it doesn't fall in the cracks. Thank you. >> No, I appreciate you bringing that up.

142
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:27.520
That's a that's a very good point. >> Good point, Steve. Thanks. >> Yeah, we we'll definitely have that done before um Kelly departs. Um we'll shoot for the next meeting and have that information taken care of. Yeah, >> very good. Uh uh no other business

143
00:41:27.520 --> 00:41:42.800
reasonly anticipated. Next meeting dates are listed June 17th for the next for the meeting in July. That will be a motion to approve the submission of design development um to the MSBA which is another big milestone. Uh and then the best of the dates that are shown

144
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:57.599
there again and we get into December for doing 60% construction documents. So things are moving along uh I think quite well. Um and uh that's that's all we have to offer, Mr. here. >> That's terrific. Uh appreciate uh you

145
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:19.280
