Good Morning,

A quick reminder that there will be a public meeting on 10/9, the location has changed from the Library to the Multi-purpose room at BFA.  Also, please vote on 10/10.

There have been requests at the previous meetings as well as on social media for a breakdown of the costs of the project.  I am working to get these socialized with the community.  As always you can contact me with any questions by email at smitchell@fwsu.org or by phone at 309-8974.

Can you explain what "General Conditions" entails.

Thank you

MK,

General Conditions are basically the overhead for the entire project. According to Black River this would include everything from the portable toilets of the job site to site supervisor (and other staff) to trucks used to saw blades to fasteners, etc.

Thanks for the breakdown, but YIKES. Think they need to go back to the drawing board. Needs....Wants......  Hopefully voters take warning, see how much the state will actually be paying as we have been told they will be paying for this & maybe this should be scaled way back & not pushed through so quickly.  Because an answer given was "so they can break ground in March" rather than waiting is not a reasonable answer, ground can be broke when everyone has had a fair chance to be made aware of this plan.

Scott, it would be quite helpful if you could summarize this long wandering list of line items into two categories that will be more meaningful and easier to digest to the people whose support your seeking: 1. Total cost to repair and maintain and modestly expand the EXISTING structure(s); and 2. Total cost to ADD NEW or MAJORLY EXPAND facilities. As someone here has said, NEEDS vs. NICE-TO-HAVES. As it stands there are just too many seemingly unrelated items in the list to be of any real value.

Thank you,

Dave Vallett

For all concerned, there was a warning on the vote in the Messenger; there are NO funds available for this other than what will come out of our pockets from taxes. Think hard & long. Estimates of what the tax increase means has been based on  150k homes with the lower end of the increase given.  Many homes are appraised at more than that.  Also, do not forget when town meeting roll around in March, we will surely see another increase from the school, as is expected and is usually voted for.  Along with an increase in town, we could be paying much higher taxes.  With all that is happening in other areas as far as teacher contracts, well, guess you never know when that issue occurs here what will happen.
