To the Honorable Board:

 

I respectfully request that your Honorable Board appropriate $180,000 from the Capital Stabilization Fund for the purpose of funding the Central Hill Campus Plan.

 

The request for $180,000 will be used to finalize the Central Hill Campus Plan. This work began in FY18 and is scheduled to be completed in December 2018. In FY2018, Capital Projects paid $25,000 towards the Central Hill Campus Plan from their Capital Outlay Line; Engineering paid $15,450 towards the Central Hill Campus Plan from the Professional & Technical Services Line; and Planning and Zoning paid $32,500 towards the Central Hill Campus Plan from their Professional & Technical Services Line.

 

To complete the project, per a contract with the firm SMMA, an additional $180,000 is needed in FY2019. To complete the project, SMMA has assembled a team that will provide the following services: campus master planning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, sustainable/carbon net zero design, and cost estimating. SMMA has also engaged two subcontractors that provide traffic planning and engineering and historic preservation expertise.  

 

Staff will be available to answer any questions.

 

Respectfully,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
