REPRESENTATIVE TOWN MEETING
TOWN OF GREENWICH
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS FOR
JANUARY 2007 MEETING
DEPARTMENT: Board of Education 0701ED01
REFERRED TO: Education, Finance Committees
VOTES: Board of Education 8-0-0
Board of Estimate and Taxation 12-0-0
RESOLVED, that the sum of $465,850 be and is hereby appropriated to be added to account Z 680 59560 27098 – Architectural and Engineering Services – subject to pending/preliminary approval of the specific projects by the CIP. Said appropriation to come from Capital and Non-Recurring Fund.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
The purpose of this request is to secure funding to begin the architectural and engineering work required to develop bid specifications and issue bids (subject to appropriation) for at least the most critical (health & safety) proposed 2007-08 capital projects (see attached detail). Many projects can only be undertaken during the summer months when school is not in session. This requires a minimum of six months lead time to ensure contracts are awarded by July 1st. Since the 2007-08 capital projects include the amt. required for A & E, this can be subtracted if funded through an interim appropriation this year (see attached). Beginning in 2007-08, the capital plan includes a funding request for architectural and engineering services related to 2008-09 capital projects (per 15
year plan).
