Timeline Action

March 20th Bond Passed

June 17th Turkey Hill Review w/ CT Inspectors

July 8th Race Brook Review w/ CT Inspectors

Factors:• Projects approved in July… HOWEVER• Roofs are hot tar & hot stone application – difficult odor to endure for kids

and teachers.• Boilers need abatement, which involves sealing the area; no persons under

18 can be on the premises. Thus, abatement needs to take place in the summer

• After contract is awarded, the boilers could take 10 – 12 weeks to come in… if we took the old boilers out in August, would the new ones be in by October?

• Summer Bond projects
