Project milestones and important documents 新闻及其他信息 即将推出！

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

成本 我们目前估计该项目的总成本为 2160 万美元。该项目的最终预算成本将在方案设计期间完成，并于 2021 年秋季提交给市议会批准。 合格成本与不合格成本 MSBA 报销额为 54.79%，适用于任何有资格的 花费。 项目中有许多项目不符合报销条件或超出最高资格上限。例如，超过 8% 的场地费用不符合报销条件。 我们估计，计算符合条件/不符合条件的费用后，实际报销金额约为 40%。

关于 In January 2023, the MSBA (Massachusetts School Building Authority) recommended and approved the Essex Elementary School for admission into the Eligibility Phase of the MSBA grant process. Being accepted means the MERSD Essex Elementary School has been identified as being 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. The MSBA grant program provides technical assistance and financial support (a minimum of 30% reimbursement) for the planning and construction of a new/renovated school. Acceptance into the program comes at a critical time. In the fall of 2022, MERSD commissioned Habeeb & Associates to conduct a needs assessment of both facilities to provide a data-based resource to guide in the development of a timeline to address the replacement of Essex Elementary School. The results were reported to the community in November 2022 and clearly showed that Essex Elementary has passed its useful life. The study identified approximately $9 million in capital investments needed to maintain the aging facility. (Habeeb Report ’23 ) Essex Elementary School is a 67 year-old building that the MSBA has identified as “being “being almost out of options” to address structural deficiencies Obsolete architectural and mechanical systems contribute to excessive operational and maintenance costs Unfavorable learning environment with a leaking roof, single pane windows, outdated lighting, and ventilation/heating systems Inadequate size and inefficient arrangement of academic and administrative space with converted locker rooms and closets being used for office and instructional space and limited special education and meeting venues Instructional limitations due to the lack of appropriate instructional space Non-compliant handicapped accessibility Participation in the MSBA program will allow MERSD to work with the MSBA team of experts to conduct a feasibility study to determine the most cost-effective solution for providing a renovated/rebuilt facility. A Feasibility Study is Necessary Because: This is a requirement of the MSBA to qualify for state-funded reimbursement for any future building project, including renovation Creates a transparent process that investigates potential options and provides multiple solutions for the town to consider, including cost estimates and schematic designs for repair, renovation, or new construction Provides the school, town officials, and voters the facts needed to make educated decisions about the future of the school and, more importantly, the students it serves

PDP 估算文件

Schematic Design Based upon the completed Feasibility Study, the District and its team, in collaboration with the MSBA, develop a robust schematic design of sufficient detail to establish the scope, budget and schedule for the Proposed Project. The project team will create a set of Schematic Design drawings and specifications to help create the final & total project budget.

Preliminary Design Program Alternatives Please see below to view the proposed alternatives for the PDP. These consist of base building repairs, additions/renovations, & new construction options. These also span across both the current Essex Elementary School site and the Manchester Memorial Elementary School site along with covering multiple grade configurations
