Lisa Manning and facilities staff told the committee they recovered consulting reports from EBI (the 2021 assessments), and noted the original set of recommendations spanned 10–20 years. Facilities staff asked Todd, the district facilities lead, to provide a summary for the four operating schools — the high school, Veterans, Village and Glover — with a written update by Aug. 31 on critical and noncritical items and what has been completed.

Committee members and staff discussed whether a separate feasibility study is needed for the Eveleth building or for an early‑childhood/transition program. The subcommittee noted feasibility work varies widely in scope and cost: a basic, internal feasibility or “pre‑feasibility” can be modest, while a full structural and programmatic feasibility intended to support a major renovation or new construction typically requires a larger budget and may need town-meeting funding. Staff said they will ask the OPM for a quote on a scoped feasibility so the committee can decide how much to invest.

Members also raised the idea of investing in a maintenance and asset-management system. The committee discussed software that tags mechanical equipment, tracks filter and preventive-maintenance schedules and issues time-stamped service records. Staff noted such systems have start-up costs plus recurring subscription fees and suggested the committee consider a FY27 capital request to cover initial procurement and evaluation.

Ending: Facilities will return with the Aug. 31 status summary of the 2021 assessments, a scoped feasibility quote from Left Field (or other vendors) and a recommendation about whether to pursue a maintenance-management platform in FY27 budget planning.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Facilities Sub-Committee 7/24/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Marblehead facilities subcommittee asked staff to produce a written update by Aug. 31 tying current work to a 2021 facilities assessment, and discussed funding and scope for feasibility studies related to Eveleth school and early‑childhood needs.","taxTitle","Marblehead Public Schools, School Boards, Massachusetts","taxId",68732,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6154979,"Marblehead details summer school projects; Brown School EV chargers and Glover rooftop units among items planned",342,2384000,2726000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5480768-0436c58d272d44959da295125f7a84f3&start=2384&end=2726","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5480768-0436c58d272d44959da295125f7a84f3/thumbnail_2384000.jpg","/articles/6154979/Massachusetts/Marblehead-details-summer-school-projects-Brown-School-EV-chargers-and-Glover-rooftop-units-among-items-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154979-63e32ff17ae90224425394b574318d84/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426955&Signature=nnBP5G5BHyO94lsEy-WXkShbO2P7pBmV8rLhKxEr4sS2uxnvfqjJ1AhhPHkjMfP99UDe3lujfiuq5b~uIJeCaDNpTEZoCcyeUWm4NR3dO5c-Cc1CUbG2eZCd7BZWjRtuRgoi1ttUVmp6OWi0tkP4uCh7fWkRqW8bxWOrYKOK~yL11jYcoLj4NDBwF8fApxF8hztg6ycTsynGmeh4ewhs3ukNdwNmn-2aOj7Ck8DywrCX4h1uoCXz4Ae2OxiXPLFfc9HjzXMd2ttPUEAKn3F32Jj25gvux70ZOEVv1SjmvFUdTinOGl62ATcsIr2zNG~g0Uqc~C8S62zRZ7vpS6LqSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marblehead school facilities staff on July 24 reviewed a running list of summer projects across district buildings and outlined immediate work at Brown School, Glover, Village, Veterans and the high school.

At Brown School, staff said they will install a bottle-filling station in the cafeteria and are pursuing three EV charging pedestals (six total connections) in a nearby parking area; the chargers were discussed as part of the Brown School building project and staff said the Marblehead Light Department has been expected to cover installation costs and collect pay-to-charge revenue under earlier agreements. Project staff said conduit was preinstalled during the Brown project closeout and that the light department and ChargePoint have walked the site; staff will follow up to confirm feed termination and whether a pole might simplify connection routing.

Glover School has new rooftop HVAC units in place and crews are now completing controls work; Left Field reported that the building should soon have functioning air conditioning in the areas that were designed for it. A Glover playground resurfacing and a $60,000 climbing structure funded in part by the town and PTO were scheduled for completion before the start of school; the project is shown as $62,000 total with the committee noting the district will cover a $2,000 shortfall.

Village and Veterans schools will receive classroom and cafeteria upgrades including serving-line equipment and targeted HVAC mini‑split installations for problem rooms such as computer labs and food-service offices. The high school will receive new main-entry doors, auditorium-door replacement and kitchen exhaust-fan replacements; staff told the subcommittee the exhaust fans are being replaced like-for-like and that the work will be funded from the school nutrition revolving account after DESE review and approval when required.

Other logistics noted: a new electronic gate on the emergency entrance road (near the post office) will be roller-mounted, operated with swipe cards and set up to be opened by police and fire vehicle preemption. The committee also discussed an outstanding fence along Brown’s parking lot that stakeholders have identified as a safety concern and which vendors repriced after a delayed award; staff said they will follow up with the Brown building committee about funding and closeout status.

On facility finish work, staff confirmed the scoreboard ordered for Village School was upsized in transit (top and bottom panels increased from 18 to 24 inches) and the vendor notified the district the larger panels still fit existing clearance.

Ending: Staff said many items on the summer list are completed or in progress; facilities will circulate an updated checklist to the subcommittee and follow up with the light department and ChargePoint on EV charger feed termination and responsibilities.","Marblehead schools reported progress on summer maintenance and capital projects, including a planned bottle-filling station and EV chargers at Brown School, newly installed rooftop units at Glover and multiple cafeteria and HVAC upgrades across the district.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6154985,"Marblehead committee hears options, timeline for high school roof and HVAC; members ask to stub conduits for future solar",1848,189000,2037000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5480768-0436c58d272d44959da295125f7a84f3&start=189&end=2037","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5480768-0436c58d272d44959da295125f7a84f3/thumbnail_189000.jpg","/articles/6154985/Massachusetts/Marblehead-committee-hears-options-timeline-for-high-school-roof-and-HVAC-members-ask-to-stub-conduits-for-future-solar","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154985-d7242674511724017cf48477d4a33c47/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426955&Signature=dMecDLezvgZPqImYQyNJYTv2x-BSVOKLYcjvFAOegILR1xa4LSl5bW8oJozfS40P0xbRMfkS1-DOQNTpU2QXlm3m~0bc-9X8yZeU-YbyTjWE5-78cXY7Iik~wCqgDGKAsGPMiwIa4HGsx3w~1amvzDagRVtYoG17KRJjuxZvMHMrquudc~xBivUKe30Rtpyt9mUDPdBGqHKUuxYU6taeYltHc85KAyiY4X2XzgPP9pHTl-SioeodbNo6wmuEGdSWOMkmEVYgL-FFQ-ZrSq-G8fsXyERPJTKV9jyzBFnK6zfE4I4MOOkukV4W6CFAqotV967pslUhc4KQEBNAMNR~hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marblehead School Facilities Subcommittee on July 24 received an update on the Marblehead High School roof and HVAC replacement project and discussed schedule, procurement steps and how to preserve future options for rooftop solar.

The project team said design work is underway and that bid documents are expected in October, followed by a roughly six-week bid period and a contract award around mid-November; construction is planned for summer 2026. Lina Long, the owner’s project manager from Left Field, said the project remains in design and that the team expects to receive a 60% cost estimate in August.

Committee members and the architect described two authorized schematic approaches: the town earlier approved Option B (a full roof recover) but the school committee also authorized an alternative schematic for a liquid-applied restoration coat. Jean Raymond, owner of Raymond Design Associates, explained the technical differences, saying a recover leaves and covers the existing membrane with a high-density cover board and a new membrane with seams, while a restoration is a multilayer liquid system applied over the existing membrane with no seams. Raymond said both are “viable options” and that each has trade-offs: recover typically has a higher initial cost and seams; restoration can extend membrane life and reduce waste but depends on the condition of the existing substrates.

The subcommittee pressed staff on procurement and contractor prequalification. The project team said the formal prequalification committee had not yet been formed; procurement requirements in state and town practice call for owner representatives, the OPM and the designer to serve. The team said it will follow the legal prequalification process and expects to present shortlisted, prequalified vendors before bids are accepted.

Members flagged lead times for HVAC equipment as a critical schedule driver. Long and Brian Dakin of Left Field emphasized that equipment must be ordered once a contractor is selected so long vendor lead times do not delay 2026 construction.

The committee also revisited rooftop solar readiness. Matt Rice, a principal at SMMA who reviewed historical design documents, told the group the high school was not originally engineered to carry photovoltaic (PV) panels 25 years ago, but that area-by-area structural reviews could identify places that can support panels without structural work. Project staff recommended making the building “conduit ready” now — stubbing conduit through the roof and capping it so a later solar installation can connect without cutting into a new membrane. Jean Raymond and committee members said conduit stubs would be relatively low-cost and would avoid future damage to a new roof if the light department or another party installs PV later.

Staff established next steps: the team will complete design and prequalification work in coming weeks, publish bid documents by October, hold a pre-bid walkthrough for bidders, and return to the subcommittee and to the school committee/select board for contract award approval. Committee members also scheduled on-site roof walk-throughs with the project team and roofing manufacturers to review edge flashings, fascia and HVAC curb details before finalizing specifications.

Discussion-only items, staff directions and formal actions were distinct in the meeting. The subcommittee reviewed options and asked staff to prepare bid documents; staff directed the project team to pursue prequalification steps and to include conduit stubs for future solar readiness. The only formal action referenced in the discussion was a prior July 2 school committee vote authorizing two schematic design plans (recover and restoration). No new contract awards or binding votes were taken at the July 24 meeting.

The project team and the subcommittee agreed to meet again after the schools reopen to finalize prequalification and vendor-selection schedules and to confirm the mid-November award target.

Ending: The design team said its focus for the next month is producing the 60% estimate and prequalification materials; the subcommittee requested a formal prequalification committee membership and a follow-up status report before the bid phase begins.
