Mrs. Stevens, Chair, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with a quorum present. Members participated in the pledge of allegiance.
The Committee heard presentations from two different LED lighting vendors, Affinity and Energy Management Consultants (EMC). Affinity was first and shared their company’s history, LED lighting information and Smart lighting proposals for the District. Their proposal included 86% of the District converting to Smart lighting, with LED conversions for the remaining lights. All fixtures have a 7 year warranty and Affinity would be the point of contact for any warranty issues. Affinity has a greater return on investment and greater savings than the other bidders. Energy Management Consultants (EMC) shared their Smart lighting programs and demonstrated their devices. They have a 5 year warranty, with a similar number of Smart devices and LED products. The Committee reviewed the results of the presentations. They were impressed with each company but believe the 7 year warranty, and increased savings from Affinity makes them a strong choice. Mr. Lynch moved, second by Mr. Pappas, to recommend to the Finance Committee approval of the LED lighting bid from Affinity. The motion carried unanimously.

Facilities Update
Mr. Totty, Facilities Director, informed the committee that the Maple Street Magnet School restroom has been framed and the East Rochester School Nurses office floor has been replaced. Last summer, most of the fire repression system at Spaulding High School was completed and the remainder is being scheduled for completion. Thursday, May 10, 2018 is Red Day (Renew, Energize and Donate) where hundreds of Realtors donate their time in their communities. The District will have volunteers completing work behind the Middle School and at McClelland School. All Head Custodians, maintenance and grounds personnel recently attended the ALERT Training (Active Shooter/Emergency Situation) presented by Deputy Chief Gary Boudreau. This was an excellent training.
Mr. Totty gave a demonstration with two LED light fixtures by Affinity of Dover. The lights have Bluetooth and can be controlled individually or grouped together by an App. that will be housed in the Facilities Department. The fixtures have daylight and occupancy sensors. If the fixture doesn’t sense motion for 20 minutes, the lights will dim and after another 10 minutes with no motion, they will shut off. The fixture can also sense where is person is in a room and will provide light where there is motion. Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Stevens had seen the presentation from Affinity Lighting and were impressed.
Mr. Totty informed the Committee that between April 6, 2018 and May 7, 2018 they have closed 135 work orders and 129 have been created which puts them at a close ratio of 1.04 to 1. There are 86 work orders open at this time.

It should be remembered, however, that education is the district's central function, and all support services shall be provided, guided, and evaluated by this requirement. In order to provide support services that are truly supportive of the educational program, the Board establishes these broad goals:
1. To provide a physical environment for teaching and learning that is safe and pleasant for students, staff, and public.
2. To provide for safe transportation for students to and from school and nutritious meals for students. 3. To provide support services resources and assistance with maximum responsibilities in terms of timelines
and degree of fulfillment of the needs of the educational program as they develop. Adopted: April 8, 1993 Board Review/Approved: November 13, 2008 Policy Committee Review: April 19, 2018
EB SAFETY PROGRAM
The Superintendent will cause the formation of the Joint Loss Management Committee (JLMC) as required by RSA 281-A:60 and a Crisis Management Plan that conforms to the national Incident Command System.
The practice of safety shall also be considered a facet of the instructional plan of the District schools by incorporating educational programs in traffic and pedestrian safety, driver education, fire prevention, emergency procedures, etc., appropriately geared to students at different grade levels.
Each Principal, along with the JLMC shall be responsible for the supervision and implementation of a safety program for his/her school. General areas of emphasis shall include, but not be limited to: in-service training; accident recordkeeping; plant inspection; driver and vehicle safety programs; slips, trips, and falls prevention; fire prevention; catastrophe planning; and emergency procedures and traffic safety problems relevant to students and employees. The Superintendent, principal or designee shall be responsible for developing student safety procedures to be used on school buses, school grounds (including playgrounds), during authorized school activities (such as field trips), and within school building(s) (including classrooms and laboratories), off school grounds during school sanctioned activities (including, but not limited to, work-based learning and internships), and in the use of online resources. In the case of an accident, the responsible party shall ensure that the accident is reported immediately to the designated staff member and the accident form is completed the day of any accident involving a student. This procedure for accidents and accident reporting are to be reviewed in September by the Principals, and staff at each school. In compliance with RSA 281-A:23-b, alternative/transitional work opportunities will be provided to all employees temporarily disabled by a work-related injury or illness.

A SUGGESTED SAFETY POLICY CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The personal safety of each student is of prime importance to the Rochester School District. We believe our students should be knowledgeable of and use safe practices. We further believe that the instilling of a safety attitude is a goal of all programs, and we presume that all courses shall include continuing safety instruction. It shall be the policy of this School District that all applicable safety procedures listed in the New Hampshire Safety Standards for Career and Technical Education will be adhered to by all instructors. It shall be the goal of the District to comply with the same standards as they apply to facilities and equipment as is economically practical. Each student will be given safety instructions related to the course being studied. Each student shall be expected to know and to follow the safety rules. Each student is expected to exhibit his/her knowledge of the safety rules, and a record shall be kept of this achievement. Behavior detrimental to the student or others cannot and will not be tolerated. Failure by a student to comply with the established rules and procedures set for each program may be cause for his/her removal from that program. Parents shall be informed in writing of the possible safety hazards that normally occur as a part of a learning experience where students are being trained with the conditions typical of active work experience.

Update from Lavallee/Brensinger Mr. Whitehouse reviewed the overall budget. The most significant change was related to the Site construction which came in significantly higher at $700,000, than the DD estimate of $427,000. The state does not participate in this part of the project budget so the increase in site work would raise the Community funded portion. Mr. John Beaver reviewed the Variance and Spreadsheet Report from Harvey Construction. Competitive bids were received on all trades. It is a busy market for site contractors and other disciplines. Subcontractors were busy. There was a significant scope increase in acoustical wall and ceiling systems due to recommendations from the vendor. A question was raised regarding whether the removal of the slab and concrete from the CTE Greenhouse was carried by Harvey. It was confirmed it was. The allowances on the report were explained. An allowance is an educated guess/estimate for a line item that doesn’t yet have a firm number. Allowances on the detailed report include those for bracing existing wood trusses at shoring point; floor prep; rerouting branch power wiring; power company back charges; relocation of solar panels; snow removal; the new natural playground for Early Childhood Education; and rework & reroute the underground gas line by Unitil. Due to the high estimate from Unitil for the gas line work, Mr. Lynch asked if it was possible to use another vendor. It would be necessary to use Unitil but perhaps some of the excavation and backfill related to that project could be done by SUR. Mr. Dubois reminded that there were $800,000 in contingencies in place. A CM contingency lump fund of 300,000 and $500,000 Owners Construction contingency. Mr. Whitehead presented the alternatives. The first three related to flooring and the benefits and limitations were discussed. Lance – Alternates – can we make decisions tonight, Alternates can be held until June 1. Flooring – ERS has had several floors fail. Alternative #1- ADD Concrete slab mitigation -$163,355 Alternative #2 – ADD Change proposed VTC flooring to LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile). $47,817 Alternative #3 – ADD Concrete floor finish stained concrete in proposed areas rather than specified floor finishes. $71,092. The pros and cons of each option were discussed in detail. Alternative #1 was recommended but if Alternative 2 was chosen but would not be necessary if Alternative #3 was selected. Longevity of wear, maintenance and the moisture content of the slab were all deliberated. Mr. Gray moved, second by Mr. Varney to approve ADD Alternative 1. Discussion continued regarding the pros and cons of VTC and LVT flooring. The colors of the LVT flooring are not as nice as the VTC flooring but custom colors can be requested. Mr. Dubois from Harvey Construction suggested using a probe to determine the moisture content of the slab while students are not in the building. This information could be used to determine whether VCT or LVT flooring would be recommended and whether Alternative 1 is actually needed. The testing will be done as soon as possible so the Committee can make a decision. Mr. Lynch moved, second by Mayor McCarley, to table the motion on the floor. The motion carried unanimously. Alternative #4 – ADD- Railing System – $53,650. Ms. Ketterer explained the differences between the base design and the proposed design as illustrated in the backup. Lavallee Brensinger recommended the
CTE Joint Building Committee Minutes April 30, 2018 Page 3 of 3
initial design rather than the ADD alternative and the Committee was in agreement with this recommendation to remain with the initial design. Alternative #5 - DEDUCT - Bridge Flooring - $3,528. If the Bridge Flooring was not replaced, there would be a cost savings of the above amount. The Committee was in agreement that the Bridge Flooring should be replaced. Alternative #6 - ADD – Engrave Pavers - $20 each. There is an opportunity to have engraved bricks as part of the brick patio as a fund raising opportunity. The walkway would be built and the engraved bricks would be switched in, however, there would be a cost associated with the labor portion. The number of bricks available for this option was unknown so the item will be added to next month’s agenda. Alternative #7 – ADD-Paving Overlay - $29,388. The Committee did not act on this alternative determining that it could be decided at another meeting or when the project is almost done. It will be declined in the contract to be reconsidered at a later date. Alternative #8 – ADD – Connect ATC to Honeywell – no action. Alternative #9 – ADD – Landscape Irrigation – $11,374. The Committee did not approve adding irrigation to the plantings as outlined in the Alternative, citing associated water usage and maintenance costs. Low water plantings will be investigated for this area. Mr. Whitehead asked if the Committee was comfortable with the state and local split. He will update the forms and work with the state regarding the funding. Mr. Varney moved, second by Mayor McCarley, to approve the project GMP estimate of $13,808,670. The motion carried unanimously.
Other Next meeting – The next meeting of the CTE/JBC has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at 7:00 pm. A meeting for the CTE/JBC Subcontractor Approval Sub Committee will be scheduled for Monday, May 7th at 3:30 pm. Agenda items will include sub-contractor approvals and the testing Agent RFP’s.
