Introduction
The Board of Education’s Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan is a plan of proposed capital projects intended to address the present and anticipated future needs for the maintenance and improvement of the facilities under the supervision of the Board of Education. The proposed capital projects are intended to support the significant investment the Town of Wethersfield has made in its educational infrastructure and to provide the optimum teaching and learning environment for staff and students.
The Capital Improvements Budget is a component of the Town of Wethersfield’s annual operating budget and includes eight major categories: drainage, pavement maintenance, fire safety, new sidewalk construction, town buildings, school buildings, recreation and parks, and community/economic development. The Board of Education, working through its administration and a facilities sub-committee, reviews its facilities needs and makes recommendations to the Town Council for inclusion in its budget. The Town Council, acting upon a review and recommendations from the Town Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC), identifies those projects that will be funded. Funded projects then become a component of the Town’s Annual Operating Budget as distinguished from the Annual Operating Budget of the Board of Education.
Based on guidelines provided by the Town Manager’s office, all items appearing in this document have an estimated cost of $25,000 or higher. Projects with a total cost of less than $25,000 will be included as part of the Board of Education’s annual operating budget. The projects included in the ten-year program have been estimated in current dollars based on available information at the time of the preparation of this document. These dollar amounts are subject to change as the District reviews these estimates and collects new data.
For the 2012-13 Fiscal Year, the Board of Education Facilities Committee has identified projects with an estimated cost of $2,286,750. Several of these projects may prove eligible for energy credits & reimbursement through our local utilities. Upon review and adoption by the full Board, the Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan and a prioritized list of projects for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 will be submitted to the Town Manager’s office.
The following pages list not only capital proposals from the Board of Education but also provide a history of capital and related expenditures whether or not those projects were financed through the CIP. Such projects are denoted separately with special notations. Projects listed as (B) were financed through bond issues while the letter (I) reflects items covered through insurance. (G) represents grant funded outlays and (W) expenditures reimbursed through warranties. The letter (O) encompasses projects paid for by the BOE’s operating budget while (T) stands for those undertakings supported by the Town’s general operating budget. Projects unmarked are those supported through the Capital Improvement Plan.
