Rationale: The current gas service is not adequate to support new boiler loads for the existing and new heating demands. This is to enter into a contract with Con Ed to furnish and install 390 linear feet of 1-1/4” high pressure gas main to supply the School with gas. The cost of this work is to be no more than $35,694. The new heating plant is for the existing and new classroom addition. It will be a duel fuel design which will allow the District to continue with the gas installation while the Con-Ed gas Moratorium is in effect. In having the ability to operate on oil and gas by analysis the cost of installing the upgraded gas infrastructure will pay for itself in 8-10 years. Cost savings over 10 years are calculated to be roughly $320,000.00. This work is eligible for State building aid.
This project was originally authorized in April 19, 2017 via Resolution 17.2 for $647,689 for design work only, with targeted overall project cost of roughly $16 million.
The Architectural/Engineering (A/E) work was designed by the KG&D Architects.
Scope of Work for Project No. 10808 “Reconfiguration and/or Classroom Additions” at Kahlil Gibran School 28 is to include but is not limited to: new 12 classroom addition, demolition of modular classrooms, existing building improvements such as heat plant upgrades, interior finishes and site work.
Con Ed is the "sole source" for this work on their gas facilities. In addition, the payment to Con Ed for this work by the low bidder was discussed and rejected to avoid paying a mark-up on this work which must be done by Con Edison.
