ORDERED: That Superintendent's Recommendation #18-14, Authorization for the Superintendent to submit a Statement of Interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for the replacement of the Graham & Parks School building roof. That in accordance with the requirements of the Massachusetts School Building Authority the School Committee enter an order containing the following resolution: Resolved: Having convened in an open meeting on January 16, 2018, prior to the SOI submission closing date, the School Committee of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in accordance with its charter, by-laws, and ordinances, has voted to authorize the Superintendent to submit the Massachusetts School Building Authority the Statement of Interest Form dated no later than February 16, 2018 for the Graham and Parks School building located at 44 Linnaean Street which describes and explains the following deficiencies and the priority category for which an application may be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority in the future. The funds are sought to be used for the replacement of the building's roof. The Linnaean Street building's roof is more than 30 years old and has multiple failures. Excessive shrinkage is tearing the roof membrane, membrane is brittle and seams are failing, resulting in ongoing leaks. These problems are both a nuisance and a cost to the district. This project falls under priority category number 5, which is for the replacement, renovation, or modernization of school facility systems, such as roofs, windows, boilers, heating and ventilation systems, to increase energy conservation and decrease energy related costs in a school facility, as determined in the judgment of the Authority. The Cambridge School Committee hereby further specifically acknowledges that by submitting this Statement of Interest Form, the Massachusetts School Building Authority in no way guarantees the acceptance or the approval of an application, the awarding of a grant or any other funding commitment from the Massachusetts School Building Authority, or commits the City /School District to filing an application for funding with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
