think it’s important to just remember that, you know, we expand our projects to people who have good reputations that
we might not know as well. If we are always tied to the same firm, it has a limitation and | just want you to bear that in
mind. That’s my only comment and other than that, | support what you're doing.

Chairman Dowd

All of the costs for materials and things are all bid out competitively.

Laurie Ortolano

Okay. Thank you.

back and that HVAC project we wouldn’t have to do now but the funds are available to do it. That defers any long
term additional maintenance costs for the building. You'll have a state of the art HVAC system and compliments of
the US government and most of it has to do with better air quality because of the pandemic.

Alderman Sullivan

So my question was from the sounds of it so I’m hearing it correctly, it sounds like the total cost all in on this project is
about $11 million.

established or more established and we have a more permanent location, then we'll bring more kids in from outside
our District. It will basically be another revenue stream.

Yes it is.

Alderman Cathey

And this bond is to get the building in working order but then there will be more long-term costs down the road, or is
this like more than just bare minimum to get it operational where we wouldn’t have to then put more costs into it
almost right away or do you not know?

Franklin Street away from me and put it in Ward 4 who knows but while it’s in Ward 3, I’m going to make a lot of noise.
So anything that we can do sooner than later. This is a priority. It is a true safety issue for families and so on.

good situation. That’s that side. So we've hired a traffic consultant to help us with this. They have come in and
started to do traffic counts. They've studied the site. They’re supposed to get back to us by the end of this month with
some recommendations. So currently there is about 80 students in the preschool. There are two sessions - morning
and afternoon. All of them are dropped off by their parents. There are no walkers at all. So you can imagine there is
quite a bit of traffic.

So through this process and into the fall, the Joint Special School Building Committee was handed off the project by
the Board of Education and approved Harriman as the architect and Harvey Construction as the Construction
Manager. More recently, we’ve hired the Engineering Corporation as our consultant for traffic analysis and SLR
International as the GeoTech. We talked a little bit more about why we had to hire those two. We have other
consultants that we have to hire as time goes on.
