Elementary School Building Committee votes;
The committee voted to submit option C to the BOS for action.
This option is for K through grade 5 with a conceptual project cost of $50,088,996.00 with the Town cost of $22,058,890.00. The difference of $28,030,106.00 to be paid by MSBA. Again this is only early projected cost, which the selectmen will have to vote on. Also, there was a meeting of the school committee which also approved the option voted by the committee. Hopefully there will be clarification about this project being a town project rather than a district one. For those who may have forgotten, the projected cost for this project back in 2009 was about $32 million with the town share at around $16 million.
On another subject, I spoke with Bill Clabaugh and I was given the nickel tour of the completed wood chip boiler project. I was told the present chip cost is at the middle 40 dollar per ton range. If you are interested, a tour of this facility can be arranged and it is worth it.

Why are they spending 40 a ton ?? I know they could have done better. Maybe they have money to burn, but I don't, and I'll bet I'm not alone. Bev.
ReplyDeleteThat is a question for the district, Some of it may be quality of chip, quantity available for delivery and delivery track record. There are probably a number of reasons, but as I wrote, take the tour and ask the questions. Remember that it is now a done deal so the things to watch is the per year costs, savings if any and how are those savings applied.
