Frequently asked questions MADALAS Y NAGTANONG NG MGA TANONG Project Basics WHY IS THE TOWN THINKING OF TAKING ON A SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT RIGHT NOW? The Essex Elementary School building is in critical need of attention. In December 2023, the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) identified the Elementary school as one of the neediest schools in the state (close to being out of options to address the structural issues of the building) and a good candidate for the grant program. Each day we wait to take action, we risk not only forgoing state money to offset any project costs, but we risk incurring expenditures of more than nine million dollars in "band-aid" costs such as replacing the roof and major mechanicals only to spend the dollars twice when we are forced to address the needed structural repairs. COULD WE JUST REPAIR ESSEX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? Repairing the school will certainly be considered as part of the feasibility study. WHAT IS A FEASIBILITY STUDY? The Essex Elementary School feasibility study is the MSBA’s first step. A feasibility study helps our communities determine the best long-term solution to address the failing building. It is a requirement of the MSBA in order to qualify for state-funded reimbursement for any future building project. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? The feasibility study is estimated to cost up to $1,500,000. The feasibility study will be funded through reserves with contributions from MERSD, Essex, and Manchester. The cost to the towns is determined in accordance with the capital allocation formula outlined in the MERSD Regional Agreement. Additionally, the feasibility study is eligible for MSBA reimbursement. WHO CONDUCTS A FEASIBILITY STUDY HOW LONG DOES THE FEASIBILITY STUDY TAKE? The feasibility study is completed by a designer architect under the management of an Owner's Project Manager (OPM) hired by and in collaboration with the School Building Committee (SBC). WHO MAKES UP THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE? The SBC is required by the MSBA to be made up of town representatives with backgrounds in construction, architecture, landscape and education, as well as the district superintendent of schools, a school committee member, the school principal, district schools' facility management director, at least one teacher from the school, a member of the finance committee or local budget official, and a representative from an office authorized by law to construct school buildings. HOW DOES THE TOWN APPROVE FUNDING THE FEASIBILITY STUDY? This is a three-step process. The first step is an affirmative vote for the Essex Elementary School Feasibility Study warrant article by the MERSD School Committee. The second and third steps require affirmative votes to fund the towns’ portions of the study at each of the town meetings. WHY DO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BUILDING WHEN THE STAFF IS PROVIDING A GREAT EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN ALREADY ATTENDING? The teachers and staff at the Essex Elementary School have done an amazing job educating our students despite the conditions of the building. While we recognize that the most important elements in carrying out our educational mission are the people inside the building, the physical environment cannot be overlooked. WHO MAKES THE FINAL DECISION REGARDING A SOLUTION FOR ESSEX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? Ultimately, Town Meetings and the voters in Essex and Manchester make a final decision about the scope of a project, including costs and which option to pursue. Throughout the Feasibility Study period, the School Committee and the School Building Committee will keep the communities apprised of the plan, as well as provide opportunities for public participation and input. We recognize that it is critical to gain public participation and input and secure voter support for any school building project to be successful.

Feasibility Study The purpose of the Feasibility Study is for the District, its OPM (for projects with estimated construction costs in excess of $1.5 million), its Designer, and the MSBA to explore potential solutions that meet the requirements of the District’s Educational Program, and to determine the most cost effective and educationally appropriate solution for the MSBA Board of Directors' consideration. The Feasibility Study consists of the Preliminary Design Program (PDP) & The Preferred Schematic Report (PSR). Preliminary Design Program Key Goals Identify the issues/articulate the educational plan List options to be studied in PSR Generate an initial space summary Document existing conditions Establish design parameters View PDP Alternatives Preferred Schematic Report Key Goals Develop and evaluate alternatives. Recommend the most cost effective and educationally appropriate preferred solution to the MSBA Board of Directors for their consideration. View PSR Alternatives

Detailed Design & Construction Documents The District and its team continue to advance the project and the MSBA continues to monitor the project to ensure it remains on track and meets the expectation of both the District and the MSBA as defined in the Project Funding Agreement. In general terms, the MSBA ensures that the project team works within the requirements contained in the MSBA’s Base Contracts and Base Contract Amendments for Owner's Project Managers (OPM) and Designer Services . Additionally, the MSBA assigns a Commissioning Consultant to the project who facilitates an intensive quality assurance process and ensures that the new or renovated building operates efficiently and as the owner intended. Specifically, the District and its team generate construction documents which are reviewed by the MSBA in accordance with the requirements prescribed in the above-mentioned contracts.
