BoardManchester-Essex School Building Committee
The meeting involved conversations around accommodating original programs, parking, traffic interaction, one and two-story buildings, and pedestrian access. Discussions also covered phasing, student accommodation, MSBA funding, community use, and roof systems. Cost estimates for different options were presented, with a focus on square footage, construction costs, phasing, and site work. The committee discussed soft costs, including modular classrooms, feasibility studies, OPM costs, architectural and engineering plans, CM at risk, miscellaneous project costs, technology, FF&E, and owner's contingency. The MSBA reimbursement process, including caps on site work costs, ineligible square footage, and construction costs, was also reviewed.
