4. Closeout Project #069-061CV, KHS Asbestos Removal
Speaker(s):
William Silver

6. High School Building Project Update
Speaker(s):
Joe Costa, Fletcher-Thompson
Rationale:
The Design Development phase of the project is now complete (except for the estimate, due next week). Although the PBC has not yet authorized Fletcher Thompson to move forward with the Construction Document development phase, it is appropriate for the Board to review the plans as they now stand. Numerous small changes to both the site and the building have been made as a result of on-going meetings with school staff and feedback from the PBC, Gilbane and town staff. Joe Costa, the principal in charge of the project, will review the status of the design and respond to any questions. He requests that you bring the Schematic Design Manual with you to the meeting.

In order to have some of the no-cost recommendations in place at the start of school and to start the process for implementing the short-range recommendations, administration is recommending the actions presented in the attachment.
