1 SCARSDALE PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2017 Bond Project Planning October 23, 2017

2 2017 Bond Project Planning - Overview 1) December 2014 Bond ( ) Work in this bond included for Heathcote, Edgewood, Middle School, High School, Quaker Ridge Roof and District-wide technology needs. Major work identified for Greenacres deferred for additional study and future bond projects. 2) Greenacres Feasibility Committee ( ) Engineering and Building Condition Studies compared to new building or a model program. Any work at Greenacres identified as only part of a larger scope of work. No formal recommendation made to the Board of Education regarding renovation or new building. Leaving the building as is (renovations only) was not an option that this committee favored. Focus of future discussion should be building conditions and educational adequacy.

3 2017 Bond Project Planning 3) Greenacres Feasibility Committee Re-convened ( ) Using same data factors, recommendations of the committee remained consistent with initial committee; focus on building conditions and educational adequacy. No recommendation is made in regards to expansion or new build however leaving the building as is (renovations only), once again, was not an option that this committee favored. 4) Building Conditions Survey (BCS) (Fall 2015) District undergoes NYSED mandated review of all District buildings. 5) Roof Master Plan Completed (Spring 2016) 6) Fields Master Plan Completed (Spring 2016)

4 2017 Bond Project Planning 7) Building Committees (Spring 2016) Meetings held at each building except at Greenacres due to feasibility committee work. Members at each building included administration, teachers, and parent representatives. The purpose of each committee was to identify and prioritize potential work in their building which would make a meaningful impact on the experience on building use by students, teachers, and community members. Building Condition items also thoroughly reviewed. Common priorities across the buildings included airconditioning, security vestibules, and food service solutions.

5 8) BBS Architects 2017 Bond Project Planning The District engaged BBS Architects in Feb for the planning, design, and construction phases for all upcoming capital projects, including a major renovation/replacement of an elementary school. They were charged with bringing an objective recommendation at all schools, including Greenacres. Studied and reviewed all previous work including: Building Conditions Survey (BCS) & Greenacres Feasibility Committee reports, Engineering reports & Building Committee priorities; and Roof Master Plan & Fields Master Plan. BBS engineering and architectural teams then analyzed each building in depth and prepared a BCS master list, which was combined with original BCS. All building schedules were studied and building tours and interviews with key personnel were conducted to gather a clear understanding of how each building functions in delivering instruction.

6 2017 Bond Project Planning Scope Development Formal presentations were made to the Board of Education: May 22, 2017 Presentation of all facility needs and some initial design enterprise solutions to address major issues. Renovation and expansion to Greenacres was formally recommended over new construction. June 12, 2017 Presentation of updated building Master plans based on feedback from the BOE, building committees, and community. Work at the Middle and High Schools recommended to be deferred for future committee study and development. July 6, 2017 Board of Education agrees to Administration s recommendations to move forward with project planning for the following: 1) District-wide facility needs focusing on roofs, building systems, electrical upgrades, code compliance and health & safety issues; 2) The addition or upgrading of security vestibules at all elementary buildings and the Middle School; and 3) The renovation and expansion of Greenacres Elementary School 4) In addition, to provide a final scope of a bond project at or near tax neutral (+/- $5 million).

7 2017 Bond Project Planning Scope Refinement Continued scope refinement since July based on: Continued study of the buildings Feedback from staff Feedback from the community Recommendations from the Greenacres Building Committee Study and recommendations from the District-wide Facilities Committee

Steam traps are located in a few of the District s buildings as part of each building s heating system. They were all replaced as part of the District s Energy Performance Contract in 2009 and typically have a life of 7 years. Steam traps typically fail one at a time and not catastrophically.
