Re: Stamford Central School District Emergency Work

MARCH No. 1702

Dear Bruce:

This is a follow up and recap of our conversation today.

The original 1936 Stamford CSD building is constructed on

the exterior with ornamental pre-cast concrete masonry panels that are failing. Pieces of this ornamental façade are failing from freeze-thaw cycles. The main front portico entrance has now been taken out of service and roped off to prevent further use.

The District intends to declare an emergency to mitigate

the hazards from falling debris, submit and LOI and authorize design to reconstruct all of the ornamental concrete masonry on the 1936 building for permanent remediation of this hazard.

Capital Project



The Work Includes:

The replacement of the precast concrete

masonry panels will replicate the existing

appearance of the building, given its historic

designation (ribbons, panels, window sills)

The design of the school is a community asset

and is an outstanding example of Art Deco

Architecture designed by the gifted Architect

Harold O. Fullerton

To receive a building permit the project needs

to be submitted to the New York State Historical

Preservation Office (SHPO) for review and

approval as a part of reconstruction building

approval.

*Requires restoration contractors and pre-cast

contractors.

FAQ

1. Why does this project need to be done?

The required Building Condition Survey identified buildings in the district that need repair. A

“work list” was generated to assist in planning and prioritizing repairs. A Facilities Advisory

Committee was established to receive input from the community on the “work list” and

repair priorities. This winter the front facade, which has a historical designation and was on

the “work list” to be repaired, began to have concrete material fall off creating a safety hazard. The front 1936 era façade (84 years old – a generation) and other original failing

precast building elements was moved to the top of the list for repair.


FAQ

2. How much will this work cost and how will it be paid for?

The total proposed capital project will cost $2.5 million dollars. Due to conservative fiscal

management and planning, there is already a plan in place to pay for this project with no

tax increase to cover the cost. The District will utilize State Building Aid and Capital Reserve

funds of $770,000 to pay for the project which will NOT require a tax increase.


FAQ

3. What is the timeline for the project?

The proposed Capital Project will be voted on by the community on May 21, 2019 during

the budget vote. Anticipated completion of the project is December 31, 2020.

FAQ

4. Is this the last project that needs to be done at Stamford Central School?

The Building Condition Survey identified additional items that need repaired. However,

due to the condition of the front façade, and working with the New York State Department

of Education Division of Facilities planning, we are requesting an expedited review of the

project to have our building repaired and completed as soon as possible. The Facilities

Advisory Committee will be reconvened this fall to continue planning and prioritizing the “work list”.
