Chair Cushman opened the meeting at 6:00 PM.  The following agenda items were discussed and/or acted on by the committee.

 

1.       Squamscott Community Commons: Brief discussion with Don Briselden and Carol Aten about future of the Annex.  Subcommittee decided to ask the board to put out an RFP (Request for Proposal) for the Annex and advertise with a one month deadline for proposals.  The SCC would like the Coop Board to sponsor their proposal, but we need to know what other possibilities exist before even the sub-committee can make a recommendation.

 

2.       New High School Update: Walter Pierce updated everyone on the progress at the new EHS site.

 

3.       Change Order #3: Walter brought forward Change Order #3 for $305,078, which would bring the total of the site contingency used to $1,036,295.  Mr. Pierce already anticipates a 4th Change Order in the amount of $488,907, which would leave us a balance in site contingency of $334,291.  The bulk of this change order #3 contains the actual cost of the bleachers and synthetic turf and the Route 27 widening along with various adjustments to paving, electrical and drainage items.  The sub-committee will recommend to the board the full amount of Change Order #3.

 

4.       Channel 22 Update: Lucy and Patty will join Walter on Thursday, September 22nd to tape a 4th installment in the Channel 22 series on the new EHS and its site.

 

5.       Old EHS Reuse Committee: Lucy reported on the Old EHS Reuse Committee meeting.  The group is looking at the various entities that would like space in the old high school that the Coop Board has recommended keeping, in large part because of SST.  That committee consists of Dr. Hanson, Walter Pierce, Dick Wendell, Nathan Lunney, Lucy Cushman and Sally Boyd.  The initial report is that it will be expensive to renovate the Tuck building for use by the SAU offices, as has been previously suggested.

 

Meeting adjourned at 6:55 PM.
