2.        Auditorium Main Entrance Modification

Superintendent Dunham and future Superintendent, Tim Farmer was present to listen to the auditorium entrance doors modification discussion presented by Mike McKeon of KBA.

           Mike McKeon presented to the Committee the various sketches (Options A, B, C and D)                   

           which are attached as part of these minutes.

Option A  would require the installation of a 4’-0” door leaf and 2’-0” door leaf in lieu of the two 3’-0” doors leaves per door.  Each four-foot door would provide a total egress capacity of 284 occupants per door opening.  Consigli has estimated this change to cost approximately $6,468.00.

Option B allows for the doors as they are installed to remain and 6’-4” openings would be cut through the existing corridor auditorium wing walls.  This would allow for total egress capacity of 407 occupants per door opening.  Consigli has estimated this change to cost approximately $22,038.00.

Option C this solution is a variation of option A with an attempt to save costs.  One of the three-foot leaves at each door opening would have the hardware removed and be fixed and would have the ability to be opened only when needed and not be allowed for egress.  Would provide total egress capacity of 244 occupants per door opening.  Consigli estimated this solution would cost approximately$566.00.

Option D  Install a bi-directional door which would provide directional traffic paths.  Egress width would be 3’-0”.  The egress capacity would be 244 occupants per door.  Total auditorium capacity is 382 occupants.  Consigli estimated this solution would cost approximately $8,853.00.

Dr. Dunham, Principal O’Rourke and Tim Farmer prefer Option B.

MOTION:  To adopt Option B not to exceed $22,038.00 with design changes to be made subsequently.  (Gladstone/Slater) unanimous
