Sudbury outlines roofing projects for Haines, Nixon and other town buildings ahead of Capital Night
Summary
Town staff presented cost estimates and MSBA participation status for full roof replacements at Haines and partial work at Nixon, and signaled multiple school and town roofing needs across several years.
Town staff briefed the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on a multi-site roofing program that includes a full roof replacement at Haines School and additional work at John Nixon School along with many other municipal roofs.
Sandra, Town staff, said Haines is proposed as a full roof replacement and that the town has been invited into the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) program for the Haines project. ‘‘For this particular project…this 1, like I said, was Haines. It's for the full roof Of Haines. It's not a partial,’’ she said.
Design and construction oversight fees were presented based on cost estimates from the town’s roof designer with a one-year escalation assumption (6%). Sandra said the MSBA process requires the town to show full funding for roof work within 12 months of MSBA approving a budget and that the designer and an owner’s project manager (OPM) could be assigned shortly.
The Nixon (John Nixon) project covers the remaining half of a roof that was partially replaced earlier; staff said prior design dollars for Nixon were already budgeted and described the new request as covering the unfinished half. Committee members pressed for square-footage and scope clarity after the estimate showed the half-roof cost approaching three-quarters of the full Haines estimate; Sandra said variations in roof complexity, flashing, and metal work explained some of the differences and that she would return with square-foot details.
Sandra also noted other town roofing needs for municipal buildings (Fairbank Community Center, Hosmer House, Haskell Community Center grounds) and said the facility condition assessment and designer estimates are being used to prioritize and time projects. No funding votes were taken at the meeting; the roofing items were placed on the Capital Night agenda for further oversight and possible warrant articles.
