HSBC Charge and Goals
The charge to the High School Building
Committee is to determine the most cost-efficient solution
for the facility needs of Wayland High School necessary to
house its current and future student population, while
providing the instructional spaces (and related areas) for
educational programs of the highest quality now and into the
foreseeable future.
During the initial Conceptual Design phase,
the HSBC’s goals are to:
-
Define and prioritize the
most pressing needs of WHS, placing the highest
priority on health and safety code compliance and
providing fully adequate and functional core academic
spaces.
-
Consider the full range of
approaches to designing a renovation/reconstruction of
WHS, and present to the School Committee a set of
preliminary project options that reflect a meaningful
difference in design approach, substance and cost.
-
Incorporate the NEASC
findings into the design process and bring forward plans
that remediate the facilities deficiencies that have
been cited to the greatest extent feasible.
-
Work
with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA)
to develop a budget and maximize reimbursement
commitment.
-
Develop
a schematic design to provide an adequate estimate of
total project cost for architectural drawings,
construction and furnishing.
-
Recommend to the School Committee a project manager and
an architectural firm, applying the Designer Selection
Procedures outlined in Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 7.
-
Work
with the MSBA, selected design firm and appointed
project manager to consider a range of approaches to
design, investigate the feasibility and economic impact
of renovating the existing buildings, examining various
building options for accommodating the educational
program, and recommending a cost effective option to the
Wayland School Committee.
-
Work
with the Wayland School Committee to prepare and educate
residents about Town Meeting legislation to fund the
High School project.
During the Design and Construction phase, the
HSBC’s goals are to:
-
Develop
the schematic design into the biddable project,
including the preparation of full specifications and
construction documents.
-
Advertise for construction bids and engage the services
of a general contractor for the monitored construction
of the High School project, through project completion.
The HSBC goals that span all design and
construction phases are to:
-
Conduct
meetings that are open to the public.
-
Communicate regularly to the public through various
media and news distribution channels.
-
Liaise
with various town boards, commissions and schools
officials.
-
Provide
in-depth analysis on specific issues.
-
Explore
alternate funding sources.
