Stony Brook Elementary School Addition Proiect
Patrick Welch from TLCR made a presentation of the most recent plans for the
addition to the Stony Brook Elementary School, dated 8-5-2009.
All of the lighting will be energy efficient lighting fixtures. They will be using a
product called handle board for the exterior siding. The paint is pre-applied, long
lasting material. They come in clapboard and a shingle. The paint is guaranteed for
30 years. The architect will require that the selected builder that a representative
from James Hardie Company will periodically inspect the installation of the product.
The windows will be Andersen windows, which are currently used in the original
building. Roof shingles will match the existing building. The building will be steel
framed with wood infill. The building will be a type III structure with a full sprinkler
system. There will be a venting system for the roof system for air flow.
Kevin Galligan indicated he and Patrick Welch would be working together to include
in the specifications efficient lighting, heating and insulation for the Stony Brook
Elementary School Addition also to have the contractors to complete all forms and
applications for the Town of Brewster to receive any and all rebates fro the utility
companies.
The bid is due on October 7, 2009. Plans and specs will be available on September 9,
2009 with awalk-through scheduled on September 16, 2009. Filed sub-bids are due
on September 30, 2009. DCAM certification is required for both file sub-bidders and
general contractors. Insulation will be a spray foam system. This will be a slab on
grade floor system with rigid insulation throughout with a vapor barrier.
TLCR also passed out a schedule for room and equipment finishes for review by
committee members. In addition we received a revised project cost estimate of
$2,327,885 for an 11,900 square foot structure. This figure is being determined at the
50% design stage.
Patrick also provided a HVAC system options sheet. He does believe that the current
heating plan has capacity for the addition. The current heating plan is a two pipe
hydronic system. Installation of air conditioning is problematic. Currently SAR, the
HVAC engineer is working on plans and specifications. Patrick may request a

meeting next week, but he will make that decision in a few days. Most likely we will
hold a meeting in 2 weeks. Patrick is recommending that we consider proprietary
equipment for things like door hardware, fire alarm and master clock system. He will
have a recommendation for the next meeting.
