Assistant
Superintendent Dan Carlin reported that KG&D architects and the associated
design team have completed the design development phase of the District's
capital plan, encompassing science lab and auditorium renovations. He
presented a preliminary construction schedule, calling for submission of plans to
the state in April 2013, the awarding of bids this coming fall, and substantial
completion by December 2014.
Dr.
James Hudson, chair of the Board of Education's advisory committee on
facilities, cautioned that the time required for State approval is a
variable, injecting uncertainty into the schedule. He said that the architects
would also present the plans and an updated budget estimate to the full Board
of Education prior to submission to the State.
At January facilities committee meeting Russ Davidson and the team of architects from KG&D presented the completed drawings. The next phase entails construction specifications and new estimates of the cost of the project based on the more complete drawings. The architects hope to submit the drawings to the NY State Education Department in April. The project schedule allows a seven-month period for review, revision, and approval of the drawings.
Parallel to this work, the District has enlisted the services of a consultant to investigate the feasibility of using a project labor agreement as a way of managing construction that report is expected in the next few weeks and will be reviewed at the next committee meeting.
