ARCHITECT'S REPORT OF JOB MEETING NO. 62 Meeting Date: February 27,2001 Addition & Renovations to Northampton High School KB 496079 Northampton, MA Page 5 ACTION DISCUSSION BY (02/27/01) Another long discussion ensued regarding the balancing. Balancing can not be completed until actuators are installed, as well as the heat exchanger and related pumps in the boiler room. A Change Order Proposal has been issued for the actuators. Mr. Wiesel explained that the actuators are required because the control specifications do not satisfy mechanical requirements. Pricing for the heat exchanger is outstanding. B-G/vZHS 50.08 Mr. Newell inquired about the noise level at the Kitchen exhaust hood. Balancing of the mechanical systems is not complete in this area. If noise persists upon completion, vZHS will address the problem at that time. (09/26/00) Mr. Letendre stated that B-G made adjustments to the roof top unit for the kitchen exhaust, which subsequently reduced noise levels. Balancing of equipment had little or no affect on the noise. (11/14/00) At the request of Mr. Richard Aquadro, Mr. Poirier will schedule a meeting with the balancing contractor to review this issue. (11/28/00) Mr. Pitoniak stated that the make-up air unit is balanced, however, the entire building is not. This may affect the unit. Mr. Aquadro suggested that the other problems associated with the exhaust and make-up air could be a controls issue. B-G to investigate. (12/12/00) The make-up air unit is running over design and will require additional work and balancing. (12/19/00) Mr. Aquadro reported that the operation of the make-up air unit has been manually circumvented in order to maintain a tolerable temperature in the kitchen. (01/23/01) Mr. LaBarre stated that the negative air pressure created by the lack of make-up air to the building is creating a downdraft in the Kitchen. This results in below normal temperature. Once the entire building is balanced, the air temperature in the Kitchen should adjust. (02/13/01) Mr. Jacobus reported that the system is being maintained by the shut down of make-up air units, and the use of dampers. (02/27/01) Ongoing. B-G 52.05 Mr. Robert Aquadro stated that two boilers are running; the remaining two can not be used until the problem with the breaching and stacks is resolved. Mr. Donald is reviewing the change from four individual stacks to the combination of having only two. The boilers require positive pressure to start and modifications will have to be made to the top of the stacks. The technical representative from Viessman will need to be involved in the redesign. (10/24/00) Representatives from Viessman are on-site testing the stacks. Work in progress. (10/31/00) Mr. Poirier reported that he received a report from Veissman regarding the requirements for the chimney stacks. The chimney cap is scheduled for installation on November 2, 2000. (11/14/00) Mr. Poirier stated that the chimney caps are on-site and will be installed as soon as possible. Mr. Robert Aquadro requested that the two remaining boilers be put on-line as soon as the cones are installed. (11/28/00) Mr. Poirier stated that the cap will be installed by Friday, December 1, 2000. A meeting is scheduled with Viessman on November 30, 2000 to discuss the stack issue. Separate correspondence has been issued regarding the revision in the number of stacks. CONNECTICUT OFFICE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE 416 Slater Road,P.O.

Mr. Newell requested a list of incomplete items. Mr. Robert Aquadro also requested confirmation that the Science Area is complete, so that the fume hood installation can be completed. (11/28/00) Mr. Pitoniak reported that the Science area is near completion, but there are several mechanical issues that need to be resolved. He will prepare a report by Friday, December 1, 2000 and forward to A&C. Mr. Aquadro requested that Labco be present at all future Job Meetings. (12/12/00) Mr. Pitoniak reported that mechanical revisions in the Science area were completed December 8, 2000. A report is forthcoming. (12/19/00) Mr. Poirier has received a report from Labco for distribution. Mr. Pitoniak summarized that units serving the Science area are still running either above or below design and additional mechanical work is required prior to completion of the balancing. (01/09/01) Mr. Poirier reported that Labco is currently working on VAV's. All balancing is ongoing. Mr. Aquadro inquired if the fume hoods can be operated even if the supply and/or exhaust fans are running high. B-G to confirm. Mr. Aquadro requested that a representative from Labco and Yankee Tech be present at all future Job Meetings. (0 1/23/01) Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the status of air balancing. Messrs. LaBarre and Wiesel reported the following issues: • Two VAV systems remain to be balanced. Completion is estimated by January 26, 2001. • The outside air for the air handlers is being held up. The transducer is required to be replaced because it has not been producing reliable readings for outside air measurement. • The balancing program is being removed from the DDC computer on a regular basis. The cause is unknown. • If outside air is not allowed to run at its full design capacity,the balancing of the system is very difficult. The Owner is currently running the heating system below design. Mr. Aquadro requested that Mr. Poirier manage the balancing process between all trades. The air handlers in Phase 2 need to be powered by February 1, 2001. Griffin Electric to proceed. Water balancing is on hold until revisions to the boiler system are made. (02/13/01) Phase 1 balancing is still incomplete. Mr. Poirier reported that Phase 2 balancing would commence shortly. Mr. Jacobus requested a copy of all balancing reports to date. These will be included in the O&M manuals, however, they will be required for the commissioning of the building.

Box 219, Batavia, IL 60510 0 ZEE It r :ARCHITECTS _ _ PROJECT UNDERSTANDING. a d. Analysis of Your Educational Goals and Requirements r We will meet with appropriate Northampton school system personnel so that all e involved understand what must be achieved. There is no substitute for involvement in the creative process of successful design. One of the Architects prime responsibilities is to listen. e. Maximization of Energy Conscious Design Between the identified needs of HVAC systems and the building envelope, there is abundant opportunity to capitalize on prudent energy incentives. Coordination among all the items which affect energy usage will be essential to a sensible design solution. L Implementation of Technology Proper sizing and planning of a technology infrastructure to support the video, voice and data needs. Our design team includes a networking consultant in addition to the electrical engineer, in recognition of the complexity and specialization of this task. The type and sophistication of infrastructure systems for educational technology must be determined by curriculum, not by available hardware. The community of Northampton will determine how technology will be used in the educational process (and beyond);the architect, with his consultants must design an infrastructure to support that use. g. Recognition of Science Needs The planning and design of science facilities is another highly specialized task. These rooms require keen attention to the details,.so that all equipment and utilities are efficiently and safely incorporated. Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. has developed various conceptual layouts on recent projects working closely with teaching staff and- school administrators, all of which have been constructed, resulting in successfully operating science facilities. E h. Recognition of Technology Education The days of Industrial Arts are gone. The physical layouts and spacial arrangements of these areas must enhance the concept of technological literacy and the continuity of the grades curriculum which begins at the elementary and middle school levels. i. Aesthetic Unification Upon completion of the project, Northampton High School should feel like a unified whole. A building wide standard for.refurbishment is critical to reaching this objective, including the building envelope, and.intended new addition. i ! { k s I Addition&Renovations to Northampton High School Northampton, Massachusetts.November 14, 1996 WORK MIN ARCHITECTS PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The renovations to the present High school represents a unique opportunity for the Northampton School System. It is at this level of the educational experience that exciting new trends are best explored. The High School should be the flagship of the school system, fully equipped to enhance the educational process begun at the primary and middle school levels. Replacement of industrial arts shops with modern technology education programs which integrate multiple disciplines, and the emergence of technology as the heart of the school community, employing exciting new ideas in visual communication and information sharing, are just two of the changes that have "broken the mold" of traditional high school designs. Solutions must be both mature and innovative, offering real educational opportunities for all Northampton students. The facility must also serve the public in a variety of creative functions. The completed schematic designs must respect all of the ground work already accomplished by.the Towri, forming a realistic and cost-effective basis for future project decisions.. Specific attention to the following conditions and objectives will be paramount in reaching a creative solution: a. Understand the Current Assets and Liabilities of Northampton High School Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. will thoroughly review all existing documents and perform on-site investigations so that the development of program and design alternatives can responsively reflect the most logical and cost effective solutions in NEM relation to current conditions. b. Complete Code Compliance Correction of code violations should always form the foundation of any anticipated renovation work. Familiarity of code requirements will also lead to practical solutions to overall space needs. Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. will conduct a thorough code compliance review to verify and supplement the Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan. We will review our findings with the local authorities having jurisdiction during the initial project phase to establish priorities and research any modifications presently in effect. Additional modifications to the applicable codes should be sought whenever reconstruction is prohibitive. _ c. Asbestos Removal _ The extent of abatement must be identified so adequate construction time and project budget can be allocated to avoid the unnecessary surprise of delays and cost overruns. Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. will assist in coordinating asbestos abatement plans prepared by others into the overall scheduling and budgeting process. i Addition&Renovations to Northampton High School JO Northampton,Massachusetts•November 14, 1996 -� Linda Desmond is looking for people to join the Fund Raising Committee.

NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL BLDG COM 9/00 The year opened up fairly smoothly, considering the late turn over by the construction company and the architectural firm due to many problems including asbestos removal. Eric Gagne and the Tech Corps students worked many overtime hours to get the network up and running and computers talking to MUNIS and STARBASE, as well as local applications.

The students rebuilt the software on the 20 new computers purchased by the Bldg Com last year, as well as totally rebuilding more than 40 donated or broken machines Teachers are teaching and students are learning with the technology. Eric and the Tech Corps are to be congratulated for a job well done. At some point,I would like to bring them to a meeting and have you all meet them,but,right now, they are extremely busy. Mary Kasper's "Technology Budget(Cutting) Committee" met this summer and did a great job of looking closely at the budget and making adjustments based upon existing equipment and duplication of orders. The committee is going back to look again at what we already have and what we really need to come back in the fall and look at that equipment list again. It is noted that further savings should go towards the purchase of new machines that were previously cut. We continue to have an ongoing issue with the duplication of the Media Retrieval system(s) and the other infrastructure issues. The powers that be are reminded that this system must be okayed by Mike Lieb on our behalf before it is accepted. Mike is working on a proposal of his own in the absence of any resolution from the architect(s). Next meeting, we need to look at the possibility of a$5000 line item in the technology account to take care of issues with the laptops, as we do not have the facilities or the personnel to repair them.

Subcommittee members in attendance: ■ Phil Ahearn ■ Merie Taylor ■ Pam Hunter ■ Mary Kasper • Ron Cooper. Others in attendance: • Dr. Bruce Willard ■ Joe Misterka ■ Bill Letendre Bob Aquadro lead a tour to representative classrooms and hallways of the second and third floors and the old cafeteria area on the third floor. Bob Aquadro said his allowance for patching of plaster walls in the building was 1000 SF.This allowance has been used up on the first floor. His rough estimate of remaining patching is an additional 2500 SF. We also accessed part of the roof area to view the exterior of a representative window with rust and damage to window frames and to view areas where efflorescence was visible on the exterior brick surfaces. This efflorescence indicates past water entry into the masonry walls due to the poor condition of the old roof, flashing and parapet caps. On the interior of the building we observed several areas of plaster damage resulting from past leaks of the roof covering, parapet flashing and cap. We also observed efflorescence and plaster damage around windows, damaged plaster around tops of locker openings, numerous damaged areas behind old radiators, surfaces where previous repairs were failing and areas where impact damage had occurred. Settlement and shrinkage cracking was also evident throughout the building as would be typically found in a 50-year-old building. In general discussions with Bob Aquadro and Bill Letendre it was felt that most leaks were resolved with the new roof and flashing. Some leaks will be resolved with caulking and repairs to window frames. The subcommittee recommends the following: ■ That no extensive repairs should be performed to cracks caused by general settlement and age where the plaster is sound Repairs are recommended to: • Unsound areas where plaster has crumbled due to temperature differential (behind radiators). • Areas where previous repairs where not adequately performed (skim coat did not adhere to base etc.). • Areas where skim coat and base are deteriorated and crumbling due to age. • Water damaged areas(primarily but not exclusively around windows). ■ Impact damage (where found). ■ Areas where physical damage due to wear and tear has occurred (at tops of lockers). NOTE:an alternate solution to the repairs above the lockers is being investigated with the locker vendor. If it is cost effective,visually appealing and will not delay installation of the lockers it will be presented to the committee We also recommend that these additional repairs should not exceed$70,000 i MINUTES OF THE NHS BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING HELD AUGUST 14,2000 The meeting of the Northampton High School Building Committee was held Monday, August 14, 2000 at the J.F.K. Middle School, Community Room. Membem present were: Larry Fink,Mary Kasper,Ron Cooper,Philip Ahearn,Pam Hunter,Robin Barber, Lynn Posner Rice,Robert Starr, Linda Desmond and Peter Shaughnessy. Ex-Officios: Brett Jacobus, Joseph P. Misterka and Anthony Patillo. Project Rep: Bill Letendre. Kaestle Boos Rep: Michael McKeon and Traci Milikowski. Contractor Rep: Bob Aquadro van Zelm Hegwood and Shadford Rep. Steve Krawczynski Larry Fink opened the meeting at 5:10 PM Sub-Committee Re-ort Philip Ahearn reported on the findings of the Plaster Sub-Committee (See attached). A great deal of discussion followed. Some of the conditions were hidden above ceilings, behind ventilators etc. Many questions arose during the discussion about why the estimate to repair the plaster is so inadequate. Some possible remedies were mentioned to fix the locker situation. Bill Letendre recommended waiting on a vote until all of the cost figures were available. This includes the cost of a larger metal strip above the lockers. The per square foot cost of plastering large areas above lockers. Also the option of putting gypsum board up instead of plastering in some larger areas and then painting. It was requested that Bob Aquadro include the Auditorium in the estimates. Traci Milikowski and Bill Letendre will put together a plan with cost estimates to be presented to the Committee at the August 31, 2000 meeting. Van Zelm Bill Letendre, at the request of Larry Fink,presented a report on items missing from drawings and specifications prepared by van Zelm. The list totaled $140,00.00 in additional costs. Steve responded by saying some of the items have already been brought up and have been resolved. He also stated that this a renovation project and not a new building and it is to be expected that the specifications would have to be modified. He also stated that the ten-percent variance could be expected in a complicated renovation project like the Northampton High School. Brett Jacobus strongly advised that this discussion was premature and needed to follow the proper procedure. • To convene the Reconstruction Sub Committee. • Wait until all items have been quantified. • Have all the facts in writing from the sub committee. Members Mary Kasper,Bob Starr, Merle Taylor, Larry Funk, Phil Ahearn,Brett Jacobus, Joe Misterka and Bill Letendre will meet next week and report to the full Building Committee at the August 31, 2000 meeting.

Upon review, we found that this lower louver can be eliminated if needed. 2. Exhaust Ductwork For Kitchen Hood - S-G Mechanical has questioned requirements for insulation of this exhaust duct. To clarify, as long as this hood exhaust duct is installed with the proper clearances to combustibles, this duct will not require (rated) insulation. 3. Gym AHU VFD's - We do not object to the use of the VFD's for "soft starting" of this unit. (see attached Trane fax) This has already been conveyed to Don Mann. � i-s!vL- A v " ,, s tr6t,-„a, L n-c.� - 4. Condensate Trans for AHU's - Sagamore Plumbing and B-G Mechanical have concerns over not being able to meet the manufacturer's required trap height for various units. We have concluded that they are to follow the drain pan piping detail as shown on M2.02. (This differs from the manufacturer's literature, but will be acceptable). 5. Chilled Water Lines - Pete Lucas mentioned there is a conflict with the chilled water lines and the Catch Basin at the boiler room wall. Upon review of the site utilities drawing (C1.01 Site Utility Demo), it appears that the Catch Basin is scheduled to be removed, so it doesn't look like this should be an issue. 6_ Louver Size for the Greenhouse- as conveyed to Pete Lucas at last job meeting, changing the louver from 20"x16"to 16"x1611 will be acceptable.

It has come to our attention that the number of rooms available for teaching science has been reduced in the new building addition. The number of rooms available in the old science area was 9. Each of these rooms was equipped with safety equipment to include eye wash stations and deluge shower and fire blanket. Additionally each of these room had the basic utilities including water;gas; compressed air, and direct and alternating electricity. We have information which shows that in the last four years under the long block scheduling the number of science rooms used was never less than 8 rooms. In one of the four long block years 9 rooms were used. Considering that the science enrollment has not changed and that"fairly substantial increases(in total enrollment) are projected in the next few years"we feel that the number of spaces in which of science could be adequately taught should not be decreased. Currently 7 rooms in the newly renovated portion of the building will be adequately equipped to teach science. The 8'science room is not equipped with gas,water, air, electricity which is needed to conduct science classes. In addition this room does not have any of the basic safety equipment that is considered standard in any science classroom. Science has always been a popular option with the students at Northampton. Given the present plan for science space we do not feel we will be able to maintain our present and fixture levels of science programs. Therefore we are making the following recommendations: Science Recommendation: • That the 8'science room be equipped with an observation desk that has a sink, faucets, methane gas taps with connections, compressed air tap and connection, and both direct and alternating electrical receptacles. • That this room should have enough alternating current receptacles for electronic equipment, Cie: microscopes)to accommodate 24 students at a time. • That this room should be properly equipped with the necessary safety equipment (eye wash, deluge shower, fire blanket and fire extinguisher). These recommendations will allow our department to maintain our current and future offerings and programs. Co Signed Donna Canuel Browne Sandra Giuggio .

If any information I present in this memo is not correct,I apologize. When the renovation of Northampton High became a reality I knew it was a massive project that would face, like all school renovations a number of problems, compromises and changes along the way.I never anticipated, especially at this stage of the project writing a memo to the committee centered around fears that funding will not be adequate t to properly equip the new Video/Audio studio. First I would like to provide the committee with a brief background of the Video/Audio production elective in the Technology Education Department that will occupy the new studio. The program began in 1994 with one section of about 29 students, one camcorder and two VCR"s. Despite many obstacles enthusiasm was high and the students worked hard. Jim Mckeever of then Continental Cable was instrumental in securing a donation of$15,000 worth of equipment(3 camcorders,2 edit stations, tri-pods). This donation completely changed the program. The old TV studio on the second floor was transformed into a functi©ning video classroom/studio. Enrollment demanded that advance courses be created. Next year as has been the case in the past we are scheduled for eight sections(4 Video/Audio Production I,2 V/A I,2 V/A III). That original donation of equipment still serves as the basis for the course.--New equipment purchases come only from the supply budget for Technology Education. The program is extremely successful with many graduates pursuing careers and further education in communications. Because of the success ofthe program a new and larger space was planned in the NHS renovation design. The new space was intended to provide state of the art facilities for not only course curriculum but also school and district needs associated with video/audio production. In the beginning stages of the project my vision for the space was communicated with the architects: The new studio space is clearly on its way toward completion. The following are questions and concerns I would like the committee to address: I. Is there money budgeted for equipment to satisfy the curriculum and school needs associated with the studio? If there is,how much is that figure and how was it determined? If the answer is no,why have we reached this stage of the project without money budgeted and equipment specifications-for this established student program? 2. Media One has been mentioned as a possible source for helping to equip the studio. Who is coordinating discussions with Media One and at.what point are we in the discussions? Has the building committee been asked to approve this method of providing equipment for the school?I have discussed with Bob Hanna and others about investigating how Media One and NHS may work together in some capacity. I never envisioned looking to Media One as an alternative to providing equipment to make the studio functional because of lack of funds appropriated for the studio in the renovation project. Please clarify Media One's role in the project. 3. Have any consultants been brought into the project to help with design and equipment needs associated with studio?If so,who is the consult(s) and is there any information ` for my review? If no,why have we gotten this far in the project without a consultant in place for this space? My main concerns at this point are not why something is not happening,those are questions the Building Committee and architects must reflect upon. My concerns are totally centered around having the eight sections of students at Northampton High School who have registered for courses in Video/Audio production for next year and all the future classes of students who will be using the facility..Student expectations are high,no day goes by without students asking me about what the new studio will have in it for equipment. It is getting harder and harder for me to express optimism that the new studio will be great. It is important for all of us to work together to make this studio and the curriculum the model for all high schools, as was the intention.Please feel free to contact me for any assistance I can be in the process. I look forward to meeting and/or hearing from the Building Committee in regards to this or any other issues in the renovation that are associated with the Technology Education Department.

Start by spending a few minutes on the second or third floor where school is still in session. Look up at the water stained ceilings, walk down the dimly lit corridors, look down at the sixty-year-old cracked asbestos tile floor, open an old wood door with a skeleton key,have a seat and look at the chalk dust. Now leave the building and walk back in through the new main entrance still under construction. Notice the remnants of terrazzo tile and wood paneling of the old lobby as it opens up into the new entrance corridor surrounded in glass. Ahead the old round library is transformed into the new guidance center with daylight from above. Look up beyond the ceiling tiles.Millions of dollars worth of infrastructure is packed into every nook and cranny that exists. You might even ask yourself how in the world it all fits up there. The old corridor walls are home to new lockers and provide access to newly refurbished classrooms. Imagine what the old gym looked like before it became a spacious, modern Library/Media Center. Step out into the new construction. Blending old with new, the limestone scholar, athlete, and eagle overlook the new athletic forum where Hamp's colors will be defended by coming generations.Marvel at the view from the Cafeteria.A whole new athletic facility sprawls below you. The building and grounds have been transformed and are already taking on a new life. Be aware of what you observe as you recall this tour during your decision making process. You have every reason to be proud of your facility, your decisions, and the finished product that you will ultimately turn over to the community of Northampton. Very truly yours, Traci H.Milikowski,RA,Associate KAESTLE BOOS ASSOCIATES,INC.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Communication systems had to be removed and replaced with new high-tech systems designed to the most exacting standards of air quality and energy efficiency. Plumbing fixtures were replaced with durable, water saving, universally accessible models. Windows in the 1966 addition were replaced with thermally efficient,heavy-duty commercial windows. The entire existing roof was replaced with one that has a potential to last for thirty years or more. The site development took on a life of its own, engineered to resolve stormwater management issues that have plagued the neighborhood for decades. The educational program was a moving target, one of the drawbacks of a project that is designed over such a long period of time. Just last night we were told that the science labs might not accommodate the number of classes currently scheduled.With millions of dollars accounted for,where do you draw the line when dealing with a fixed budget?Certainly not in the educational needs of the students. We, as the Architect, made recommendations based on experience and the traditional scope of a . renovation project. Wholesale replacement of all existing doors and wood frames, removal of all wood framed chalk and tackboards, or replacement of the metal siding on the fitness center did not appear to be options. We were, after all, renovating, (e.g., upgrading and building on the facility's assets), not demolishing and building anew. Our goal was to maintain the integrity of the existing building, along with what has been described as its eclectic imperfections. As construction continues and the building begins to take shape, each person associated with the project begins to physically observe what could only have been previously perceived in the mind's eye as the finished product. Some might expect to see a brand new building without any signs of the past. Some do not see, and possibly do not appreciate the millions of dollars hidden in the ceilings, in the walls, on the roof, nor the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the removal of hazardous materials from those same ceilings and walls to create a safer environment. What we all see is a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, new ceilings, new lighting, new furniture, and computers. Why is it so difficult to explain or justify why it costs over $100 per square foot to renovate and expand an existing building which has not been touched for over 30 years? In the end you will provide a state-of-the-art, renovated facility for the high school students of CONNECTICUT Northampton for considerably less than the cost of a new high school, while still preserving an 416 Slater Road important cultural icon for a community which values the tradition of its social goals. P.O.Box 2590 New Britain,CT 06050 2590 This is the reality you are faced with today, and once again you must decide what the priorities are. It Phone:(860)229-0361 has become evident that based on a fixed budget,it is not possible to accomplish the complete desired project scope, the "wish list". Although you have accepted two of the alternates that have decreased Fax:(660)229-5303 your contingency by more than half,your decisions have been rationally justified. It would be unwise to renege on your previous decisions, but other upgrades may have to be put on hold until the status MASSACHUSETTS of outstanding Change Order Proposals is updated. The existing building is yet to be completely 124 Grove Street renovated and as we have previously experienced, will contain unforeseen conditions. We will Suite 215 continue to provide up-to-date information regarding changes and potential decreases in the Franklin,MA 02038 contingency amount in order to allow you to make prudent choices.

Richard F.Webb The short version: Without regard for the reality of the dwindling contingency fund, and given all we now know about the replacement windows, we would recommend that the existing windows be Jamie L.DiPinto replaced in their entirety. However, economically, the proposed temporary repair is a viable solution Vincent R.Amrhein at this time and will have the least impact on finished spaces and construction completion for this Traci H.Milikowski September. This repair will require regular maintenance in order to deter further deterioration and Scott J.Mangiagli Water infiltration. It is uncertain how long the repair will delay the ultimate complete window replacement. Unfortunately,the cost of abating the caulking exists in either scenario. Terry A.McDonald John W.Juros At the meeting of the Building Committee on May 23, 2000, the window replacement issue sparked Lawrence P.Trim much discussion of the status of the budget, the remaining contingency, outstanding items yet to Scott D.Pellman come, and why items such as this window replacement were not included in the original scope of the project. I would like to take this opportunity to write what I could not verbalize at this and past meetings. The long response follows. CONNECTICUT Mr. Michael McKeon informed me that a discussion with the Committee regarding the window 416 Slater Road replacement did occur during the preliminary design phase. At that time it was decided that the P.O.Box 2590 windows would not be replaced because energy efficient windows had recently been installed. The New Britain,CT 06050-2590 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, dated "Revisions thru 1/31/95", was given to Kaestle Boos Phone:(860)229-0361 Associates, Inc. as a guide to the renovation work expected to be included in the project. It makes Fax:(860)229-5303 reference to the upgrade of the windows at the 1966 addition as "recommended". The report of the physical plant states that the windows on the 1940 building were replaced within the last five years MASSACHUSETTS with insulated units. There is no reference to repair or replacement requirements. 124 Grove Street As the design team for this project, the Architect and Engineers were faced with the enigma of a Suite 215 vintage 1940 building, the complexity of code related issues of adding new to old, and the challenge Franklin,MA 02038 of blending the two into a unified whole.As the Owner's representative,the Building Committee was Phone:(508)520-9928 charged with the enormous task of developing the scope of the project within a fixed and estimated Fax:(508)520-0856 budget. The task at hand was to renovate and expand the existing facility to accommodate the educational needs of a high school entering the 2151 century. Not only were there Educational Specifications to meet, the sixty-year-old facility required a completely new infrastructure.

Purcell Associates -Mail:kba @kba-architects.com Web:www.kba-architects.com CIA TO: Northampton High School Building Committee FROM Elaine Finkowski NHS Special Education Department Chair DATE: May 16,2000 As Chair of the Special Education Department at N.H.S.,I would appreciate some clarification at this time regarding space and furnishings in the renovation plan that is designated for SpecialEducation services. This includes classroom instruction space,conference space,office space and tutoring space.While I am aware that some space has been clearly designated for special education already,I was informed by Frank Tudryn in March or April that what was originally designated as a Special Education Conference Room (located near the Alternative Learning Program space)was reassigned as storage space for the school store, and that the former Board Room would now be designated for special education conference and storage space. While I initially did not object to this change,I have had increased concerns about the accessibility to the Board Room(there is no longer a hallway entrance)and the need for Special Education to have continuous access to a-conference space,given the number of special education meetings that occur. I also expressed a need to Mr.Tudryn for storage space for special education instructional and assessment materials,and he reassured me that there would be adequate storage space in the Board Room area. Since the two Resource Rooms were not included in the original plans for reasons I am not aware of,the spaces presently assigned for these classrooms are quite small and may not accommodate conference tables and/or adequate storage space.I am also not aware of any "Departmental Office"for Special Education,which I thought might be in the area of the original Special Education Conference Room. There is also a good chance that we will also be having a school psychologist based at NHS next year, which would require an office space for testing,computer access,and secure record storage space. I am also interested in obtaining specific information regarding furnishings for each special education space.I have a copy of a partial list of furnishings from last year,but that list does not include any furniture for the two Resource Rooms which were not included in the original plan(I believe these spaces were to be designated as"Learning Centers"). I assume that furnishings will be provided for these spaces,but I have not received any definitive information that this has been attended to. Given the nature of the instruction within these "Resource"programs,it would be beneficial to have larger student desks and tables for one to one and small group instruction,as opposed to the typical small desks intended for large group instruction. With the apparent re-designation of some spaces and the prior oversight with regard to the Resource Rooms, I feel the need to obtain specific information at this time in order to accurately respond to the questions of my department members,and to know what conditions we will be facing in transitioning to next year. I would appreciate seeing a copy of the present plan which includes designated special education space and/or meeting with anyone on the committee who might be able to provide me with the requested information. Cc: I.Babcock Rodriguez D. Stone a The actual cost of a well are not known at this time, but the estimated costs would range from $18,000.00.to S25,000.00. Before the final costs could be determined,there would have to be an engineering and design review with total installed cost proposal. The advantages of a well are as follows: a) Total long term costs would be substantially lower b) Using a well we will not be subject to water use restrictions imposed by the municipal water system. c) Irrigation by well water does not require approvals from other agencies in regards to quality of the water. d) Municipal water is a City resource,and drinking water should not be used for this type of application. e) Using City water could result in m4jor negative public relations. f) Increase in cost over time using municipal water could be substantial, Based on the costs as shown above,the well would have a threo year payback. If the installation of the well were included in the current building program,the cost would be reduced by 70%a. It is my recommendation that the installation of a well be seriously considered. Frederick J.MacInnis 2 TO: Dr.Lawrence Fink,Chairman Joseph Misterka All Members ofthe Northampton High School Building Committee FROM: Frederick J.Macbmis,Member(Ex-officio)—High School Building Committee DATE: May 15,2000 SUBJECT: Irrigation of the New Athletic Fields under Construction at the Northampton High School The Northampton High School building project calls for irrigation of the new athletic fields. The areas to be irrigated are as follows: Area 1: a) Football Field b) Long Jump area C) Pole Vault area d) High Jump area Area 2: a) Baseball Field b) Field Hockey&LaCrosse Field c) Soccer Field d) Softball Field e) Football Practice Field f) Shotput area Approx.$00,000 square feet The irrigation requirements for this area is 31 8,000 gallons of water or 450 at 100 cu.ft,per inch. Irrigation will be needed during the months of May,June,July,August and September,or for 22 weeks. Fields require approximately one inch of water per week in a glowing season. An average year would require approximately 11 or 12 inches of irrigation per season. The balance would be derived from normal rainfall. There are two viable ways to carry out the irrigation process. These are as follows: l) By using City water 2) By the installation of a well. Using City water,and paying the current combi ned water and sewer rate,a total seasonal 12 inch application would cost$21,344.00. If we were successihl in obtaining a waiver of the sewer charge from the Board of Public Works,only the water rate would apply. In that case,a total seasonal 12 inch application would cost$8,777.00. 1 L ,Lk AQUADRO & CERRUTI nvc.

The system will be running under the control of the Energy Management System and its control will be totally automatic. The system will place chillers online on an as-needed basis, and will also take them off as the load decreases.The Energy Management System operates under a real-time time clock,and all systems, including all chilling,shut down automatically when the school is closed. This is controlled by software in the EMS and can be scheduled a full season in advance as required. • Building Pull-down: After a weekend shutdown an important consideration is the time it takes to cool down the building. The entire mass of the building has gained temperature over the weekend and this will require three chillers running for short period time(two or three hours). This load is greater than any design day load,but it must be accomplished within a relatively short period of time. • 'Finally, it is my opinion that the third chiller configuration is the way to go. It must be remembered that the total cost of the heating and ventilating system to be installed is $3,688,000.00,and that the$55,000.00 cost for the third chiller represents only 1-1/2%of this cost. 44 Fred MacInnis Northampton Energy Resource Commission and Taxpayer 2 MEMORANDUM From: Fred MacInnis To: Larry Fink Mary Kasper Joseph Misterka Frank Tudryn Bill Letendre Annie Chappell Date: March 27,2000 SUBJECT: Third Chiller for the Air-conditioning and Heating System at the Northampton High School The installation of the third chiller for the air-conditioning and heating system for NHS has been the subject of much discussion over the past several months. While I am keenly aware that the contingency fund is under some minor stress,I also think that it would be a major error in judgement not to include the third chiller at the present time. Therefore, it is my recommendation that this important piece of equipment be installed now for the following reasons: • Installation of this third chiller was previously voted and approved by both the full Building Committee and the Sub-committee for Mechanical Systems. The Northampton Energy Resource Commission also voted for installation of this third chiller. • Although the third chiller was eliminated by the Cost Cutting Committee as a value engineering cut,this cut was not value engineering,but a change in the scope of work for this project. • Elimination of the third chiller will create a have-and have not situation,and will create hard feelings between those who have cooling and those that do not have cooling. This becomes an operating nightmare both for operation and administration.This feeling could also shift down to the student body as well as general staff. • Because the mechanical systems and also the classroom units require high make-up air,those spaces that do not have cooling will be supplying high temperature air and humidity to the building envelope. This in turn will effect those areas that do have cooling because the warm air will migrate into the air conditioned spaces. In reviewing the connected load of the building,there is a total connected load of slightly over 800 tons.(see attached schedule). While it was never intended to cool the entire building,with the third chiller in place we could cool 95%of the teaching spaces. There would be some load shedding done by the Energy Management System(EMS)to give a reasonable interior space temperature under the more severe high temperature and humidity conditions., 1 SCHOOL COMMITTEE BRUCE E.

Gossoo, P.E. Items discussed were as follows: 1. At the time of my visit,N.E. Foundation Co. Inc. (NEFCO) was in the process of load testing the PIF at column line P-10. The test had been started at 8:00 AM and Mr. Letendre reported that it was progressing better than expected. When I returned to the area after the meeting the test had concluded and the personnel had left the site. I discussed the test with Dr. Welti on June 23 and he indicated that the test had started in his presence and was proceeding smoothly when he left. As soon as he receives the reports from the Testing Laboratory he will issue a letter approving the installation and outlining the requirements for the balance of the installation, which is now scheduled to begin on Friday. 2. We returned the shop drawings from NEFCO to the Contractor at the time of the meeting. After the meeting, I reviewed the corrections with Mr. Richard Aquadro, as well as the responses to certain RFI's which were returned at the meeting. 3. It was reported that Schurman Steel has applied for AISC certification, and that United Steel had submitted a much higher proposal to use a union erector. At this time, A & C is hoping that the certification process can be completed and Schurman Steel accepted for the project. 4. I reiterated Mr. Webb's previous concern regarding mixing of the stockpiles of the various materials on the site. The site contractor stated that most of the structural fill would be placed directly in its final location, and that no large stockpiles would be required. 5. Mr. Robert Aquadro and I reviewed the condition in the existing Gymnasium raised in RE 07. 1 observed the condition in the field and requested that enough masonry be removed below the existing infill to determine the actual size of the limestone sill and the bearing condition of the infill masonry above. Mr. Aquadro agreed to do this for the next job meeting so we can view the conditions at that time. 6. I observed that the existing wood flooring in a portion of the existing Gymnasium was being removed. The wood flooring was supported on a series of 2x wood sleepers with clips to the existing concrete slab and a rough grout lay::r between and in any voids beneath the sleepers. The structural slab below appears to be rough finished as would be expected. After all the existing sleepers and grout are removed,this area is scheduled to be filled with a concrete topping of appropriate thickness.

ASSOIDATES.INC ARCHITECTS Report of Structural Observation Date: June 15, 1999 Prepared by: John Chipko, P.E. Items discussed were as follows: 1. At the time of my visit, N.E. Foundation Co. Inc. (NEFCO) was preparing to place a practice PIF within the building footprint. Mr. Aquadro stated the test PIF that is located at column lines P10 is scheduled to be placed on June 16. I advised him to coordinate the installation with Allied Testing so that their Technician is present at the time the PIF is installed. I inquired about the date the P10 PIF will be load tested with the 312 ton weight. Mr. Aquadro discussed the schedule with Mr. Boyle, the foreman for NEFCO and he reported that the testing would occur on Monday June 21. I agreed that we would contact Dr. Welti to schedule his visit for June 21. 2. We reviewed the criteria for the PIF driving operation with Mr. Dawicki, President of Allied Testing and Jim Mulvenna, Allied Testing Technician, who will be monitoring and recording the information. I stated that Mr. Mulvenna will be responsible for recording the blow counts and the cut off elevation of the PIF as well as sampling and testing the concrete used in the PIF's. Dr. Welti will also review his recommendations for the inspection of the PIF installations with the Mr. Mulvenna on June 21. I also discussed the procedures for inspection of the reinforcement for the foundations. I requested that the technician inspecting the reinforcing contact our office before viewing the construction so that we can review specific areas of concern. 3. Mr. Richard Aquadro and I discussed during the Project Meeting the status of the AISC certification for Schurman Steel Fabrication which is located on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Mr. Aquadro stated that they are pursuing the certification of the shop and he is still in contact with United Steel of East Hartford, CT. I stated that we can not accept Schurman until they are AISC certified as per the Specification. Mr. Aquadro understood our position and he will notify us of the outcome. 4. After the meeting, I inquired about the status of the resubmission for the PIF shop drawings from NEFCO. Mr. Richard Aquadro said that they were expected back shortly. According to Mr. O'Neil of NEFCO,they were in the process of revising the drawings. 5. Mr. Robert Aquadro and 1 reviewed a dimensional discreiancy be tween the Architectural and Structural Drawings. The discrepancy occurs between column line A and the existing building in Area B. The Architectural Drawings indicate the dimension to be 10'- 4"+/- and the Structural Drawings indicate it to be 10'-0" +/-. Mr. Aquadro informed me that the actual dimension based on the layout of the building starting at the location noted on the drawings in Area A, is 9'-11". We will review the impact of the dimensional changes with Ms.Milikowski and issue a response.

Also the final review were loading schedule used in the design dated March 24, 1999 and letter with calculations dated June 4, 1999 . We have not received any up dated drawings or specification. Based on our progress report dated April 23 , 1999 ; items 1-6, 8 , 10, and 12 were reviewed by Kaestle Boos Associates . However, I would like to comment on items 7, 9 and 11 . Item 7 The relieving angle calculation submitted by Mr. John Chipko of Kaestle Boos indicate a load from wall height of 14 feet . This height would be fine if the relieving angle at near elevation 12 has soft joint below the angle . To control cracking, soft joints should be considered. Item 9 Lateral support for non bearing masonry walls are fine, if all of them have appropriate intersecting walls or columns . There are many complicated conditions . Item 11 The exterior wal.1s and bearing walls, the reinforcing steel are not consistent . The 8" block wall with #5 vertical at 4 ' -0" on centers and 3/16" joint at every course is fine. The 121, block wall changing #6 bar to #7 bars at 3 ' -4" is fine with 3/16" joint reinforcing at 8" on centers . However, the specification Section 04200, paragraph 2 . 7, B and a number of architectural sections shows 16" on center for joint reinforcing. This should be clarified before the contractor starts to charge extra.

Items discussed were as follows: I. At the time of my visit,T&M Equipment had removed the topsoi i from the footprint of the proposed addition. I inquired during the meeting about the status of the structural fill gradation analysis submittal. Mr. Richard Aquadro said that T & M Equipment had not submitted anything to Allied Testing Laboratory. Mr. Aquadro said that he will discuss the submission with Mr. Wright of T & M Equipment. 2. Mr, Richard Aquadro reviewed with me the Specification requirements for the structural steel fabricator. I affirmed that the fabricator must be certified by the AISC for complex steel building structures, (Cbd). Mr. Aquadro said that he has been negotiating with a Canadian fabricator who is not certified by AISC. The fabricator with which he is negotiating would only be acceptable if they become certified prior to fabrication of any members for this project. I provided Mr. Aquadro with several names of fabricators which contain the correct certification and I suggested that A & C contact some of these fabricators. Mr. Aquadro said that he would contact United Steel of East Hartford,CT and other firms with the appropriate certifications. 3. 1 recommend to A & C that they submit calculations with the shop drawings to enable us to expedite our review process. They agreed to coordinate the calculations so that they will be included with the submission. 4. Mr. Robert Aquadro and I reviewed the returned PIF (pressure injected footing) location drawings for Area A that were submitted by New England Foundations. He requested that we indicate which PIF is to be selected for load tests. I said that we would review the information with Dr. Welti, the Geotechnical Engineer for the Project, and advise A & C where the test PIF should be constructed. Since this meeting,Dr.Welti recommended that the test PIF be located in the area of boring B-15. A & C submitted on 6/10/99, a proposed location for the PIF to be at P-10 which is in the vicinity of boring B-15. A & C must notify Dr. Welti when the load testing of the PIF is scheduled to occur because Dr. Welti wants to be present for the testing procedure and results. Allied Testing must be present during the installation procedure to sample the concrete and observe and document the installation. We also discussed other items marked on the location drawings. The information for the test PIF including the concrete mix design has been submitted with the proposed location.

Milikowski - Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. (KBA) ITEMS REVIEWED/DISCUSSED 1. Mr. Giambrocco explained that the quantities of materials outlined in Attachment # 1 of Specification Section 02080 "Asbestos Abatement" represents a base line from which unit prices are established. 2. Mr. Scyocurka expressed his concern that the quantity of pipe insulation to be removed is still questionable because concealed areas that may contain contaminated materials were unable to be surveyed and quantified during the bidding process. There is no documentation of quantities on the drawings, only general areas where the pipe insulation is to be removed. The quantity of spray-on fireproofing and contaminated ceiling tiles is also in question. 3. There is an allowance for the removal of 2,000 lineal feet of pipe insulation. This is in addition to the quantities listed in the above mentioned Attachment #1. Any materials removed that exceed the given quantities will be issued in a Change Order. This will most likely occur when concealed areas are exposed during construction and surveyed. 4. IEG, the Hazardous Materials Abatement Monitoring Consultant, will document the quantities that are to be abated on a day-to-day basis. IEG and Safe Environment will agree to quantities prior to abatement. 5. Although IEG has a contract with KBA for monitoring services, they will take direction directly from Aquadro& Cerruti (A&C)for day-to-day scheduling. KBA will be notified when IEG is on or off-site. 6. There are some areas that are OSHA defined as "confined spaces". A&C and Safe Environment are required to comply with OSHA guidelines for confined spaces. 7. Additional caulking samples have been taken at the existing Auditorium windows and doors that are to be removed. Results should be available next week prior to removal. 8. Any surfaces considered to contain lead materials (primarily lead paint) are listed in Attachment #1 in Specification Section 02081 "Lead Paint Abatement". Removal will be determined as a unit price. IEG will determine whatis required to be removed under abatement based on method of removal, the XRF reading listed, and the area to be demolished. A&C will notify IEG prior to demolition of questionable areas.
