The Committee reviewed progress on Option 3 that was chosen as the path forward by the
BOS on February 13, 2018. The footprint for the addition has been modified slightly to address
concerns the Committee and architects had regarding massing.
The architects developed a list of "additive alternate" items that would be broken out
separately for cost estimating purposes. They include:
- Code required work only on second floor of historic building, alternate would be to
finish offices
- Alternate to add AC and mechanical ventilation for auditorium
- Alternate to add theater lighting, new rigging, curtain and sound system
- Alternate to add geothermal
- Alternate to add emergency stand by generator
- Alternate to add skylights to the Atrium connector
- Alternate to finish out the theater dressing rooms
Carolyn expressed concern that the BOS had voted to approve a $14M design with only a $12
M proposed budget. Mark expressed concern that air conditioning in the auditorium should
not be considered an "additive alternate".
The additive alternate list will be broken out separately in the cost estimating process.
Depending on how the estimates come in relative to the proposed budget of $12M, the BOS
can make a determination on what might be added back in to the project.
At 8:00 the Committee convened with the BOS to review the presentation from the architects.
During the presentation Shane reminded the BOS that Schematic Design would need to be
completed and sent to the estimators by the second week in March.
The Committee adjourned at 8:45.
