scope and some site work. Opportunity to get site work done ahead of permitting the project. After we submit in
October, MSBA will set up a call to discuss submission and then MSBA will officially issue a decision on what is
ineligible on December 12tn
Schematic Design update
Jeffrey reviewed what is included in the schematic design binder which will be submitted to the MSBA. Pricing set
will include a description of project,architectural characteristics, narratives of the building systems and any
variations from when the last time MSBA reviewed. Room data sheets show what is included in each classroom.
Project manual helps the cost estimators in determining estimates.
Jeffry reviewed drawing set. Committee requested a space to put shed and dumpster in the best location to hide
from public view.
Community Survey Discussion
Survey was live for 4 weeks with 153 responses. At schematic design level so we have some time to decide what
we want the fagade to look like. Majority like Option C.Very close to Option A, except A has the raised brick.
Difficult to assess because the design is not complete yet.The entrance has to be worked on. During design
development we can look at different options for the brick.
