General Contractior Selected (Update - 11/29/12) At their Wednesday, November 28 meeting, the Permanent Building Committee voted to award the contract for building the new Field School to Colantonio General Contractors, thus moving this project one step closer to a ground breaking. Weston is a familiar place to this company. Commencing in 2001, Colantonio was the GC on the Weston Town Hall project.
Their company website provides a listing of their previous projects, which have included public and private facilities, public schools as well as colleges, and a range of architecture from traditional (Weston Town Hall) to contemporary (Cambridge Boys and Girls Club).
The work on the septic systems is proceeding as targeted. As soon as we know more about a specific timetable for the building, we will publicize that information.

Field School Remediation Complete (August 30, 2012) & Will Open as Scheduled
Message from Superintendent Cheryl Maloney
Earlier this summer, in preparation for the anticipated 2014 demolishment of the Field School, the district contracted environmental engineering firm, EH&E (Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc), to review the building for the presence of hazardous materials. During this examination PCB’s (polychlorinated biphenyls) were found to be present in caulking in some expansion joints as well as in some painted areas on the ground level, such as the loading dock and two walls in the cafeteria. Air quality tests were then conducted to assess levels of potential contamination. Those tests came back below any levels of concern. However, once PCB’s are found, EPA guidelines call for their removal and so a plan was developed to address the removal and/or encapsulation of all the affected areas.
TMC Environmental was awarded the contract in early August per state bid process. The work was completed on August 24th. Post removal, tests were again taken by EH&E to ensure that the school conformed to EPA thresholds for the presence of airborne and surface PCPs. We received word late this afternoon that all tests came back below the EPA guidelines and therefore the school is now open to all staff and will be ready for students next week.
We are grateful to Facilities Director Jerry McCarty, Asst. Director Gary Jarobski, and custodians Fred Blake and Paul Millett for their persistence and attention to detail. Their single-mindedness to the issue is the reason we will start the year on time.
Please join the teachers for a “drop-in” with your child on Tuesday, September 4 from 9-10am. Because the teaching staff had limited access to the building this month, the classrooms might look a bit different than in other years. However, please know that the staff is very excited to meet their students and launch the new academic year on September 5.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me or Principal Matt Lucey.
Field School Remediation (July 23, 2012)
Message from Superintendent Cheryl Maloney
It is anticipated that the old Field School will be torn down in the summer of 2014 once the new building is completed. In preparation for the demolition, the architect is required to plan for the scope and cost of that process, including identifying any hazardous materials in the building that will have to be disposed of according to EPA regulations. The environmental engineering firm, EH&E ( Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc), was contracted to review the building and in this work discovered the presence of PCB’s (polychlorinated biphenyls) in caulking material in expansion joints as well as in some painted areas on the ground level, such as the loading dock and two walls in the cafeteria. EH&E then conducted additional testing, including air quality to ascertain the extent of possible air infiltration. As reported to us today by the engineers, air quality is not an issue as the levels fall below EPA guidelines, which I am told are very conservative.
As a result of the testing, a plan has been established to remove the caulking material and encapsulate the newly caulked and painted areas. The district is currently issuing a state-required RFP (request for proposal) with the goal of hiring a firm to complete that work this summer. Once the removal and encapsulation have been completed, EH&E will run additional testing to confirm that all EPA requirements have been satisfied. On Friday afternoon, Principal Matt Lucey and I toured the school with the environmental engineers to confirm the remediation plan. We anticipate that all work will be completed so as to allow school to open on September 5, as scheduled.
The report from EH&H as well as supporting documentation from EPA can be found through links below.
Environmental Health & Engineering Report (What you need to know about managing PCBs in schools)
As soon as we have more information regarding the timetable for removal and subsequent testing, we will notify the school community. Please do not hesitate to contact Matt Lucey or me should you have questions or concerns at any time.
Field School Project Updates are presented at every regular School Committee meeting and are included in the minutes of each meeting (see all School Committee minutes here.).
At the meeting of March 26, 2012, Dr. Heller reported that the Field School project has reached the 100% Design Development stage. He informed the Committee that the submittal required at this point by our agreement with the MSBA has been made and a process called Value Management has formally begun to simplify design and to assure compliance with the project budget. On April 9, Dr. Heller updated the School Committee and indicated that they expect to be at 60% construction drawings by the end of May and anticipate early bids going out in June for selected site work. Construction is anticipated to begin in late Fall.

February 2, 2012
Update: Contamination behind the Community/Recreation Center & Field School
Last summer as part of the preparation of the site plan for the new Field School, random tests were conducted on soil behind the existing Field School. A few of the samples indicated arsenic above acceptable levels and one reached the level of extremely hazardous. It is believed that arsenic was utilized as a pesticide when
this was an agricultural field in the early 20th century. Working within the protocols established by the Environmental Protection Agency, we immediately cordoned off the test pits and a surrounding buffer zone. Since then we have continued to test to determine the geographic extent of the contaminated site. This time intensive effort has revealed an effected area that encompasses almost a third of the field behind the Community Center/Field School. After each round of test results, the fenced area has been expanded based on specific findings
After the latest round of soil testing, boundaries of contamination have been determined and we are planning for remediation. Following the recommendation of the Town's environmental consultant, as of Wednesday, February 2, the fields will be closed for any activities. While the risk level is minimal, we are taking a conservative approach Summary of Surficial Soil Sampling
January 2012
Contamination behind the Community/Recreation Center and the Field School
As you know, we have been dealing with the discovery of contaminated soil behind the Community Center and the Field School since school started. It was necessary to conduct a series of tests inorder to identify the limits of contaminatin surrounding the initial test pits. Green Seals, the engineering firm, has now analyzed these tests and is confident that the extent of the contamination is known. The nexty step is to contract for the removal of soil, which we anticipate will take place in June when school is out. We willplan an informational session for parents in early spring to outline the process. Here is a link to the Green Seal report: and a map of soil sample locations.
On Behalf of Thousands of School Children, Thank you!
At the November 14, 2011 Special Town Meeting, the warrant article to fund a new Field School passed by the required 2/3rds in a voice vote. There were so many in attendance that in addition to the auditorium, the gymnasium had to be used to accommodate the crowd. The project can now move forward with the opening scheduled for September 2014.
Besides School Committee, a large number of individuals worked on this initiative over the years and their collective efforts paid off with this official approval by Town voters. The School Committee and I are appreciative of the input of a myriad of townspeople who participated in focus groups, made comments at public meetings and addressed the project on town committees, such as the PBC, the Historic Commission and the Library Trustees. The faculty and staff of Field School led by Principal Matt Lucey, as well as faculty members and administrators from the other schools gave valuable input and support. The architects, Jon Levi and Ian Ford, and our Owner’s Project Manager, Tim Bonfatti and Jeff D’Amico, collaborated, problem solved and met every deadline. We also received important guidance from the Massachusetts School Building Authority in the process, leading to their vote of approval in September and their willingness to contribute up to $8.6 million to fund the school.
Finally, I want to thank Dr. Ed Heller, School Committee member, for the countless hours he invested in the project. He had a vision for this campus and he moved it forward through years of planning, collaborating, and presenting, all requiring a huge time commitment. Thank you Ed!

An Informational Presentation on Field School Project
On Wednesday, October 25, School Committee member Ed Heller along with Jonathan Levi, Principal Architect of the proposed new Field School, presented at the Weston Town Hall. The presentation reviewed the rationale for a New Field School and the history of the project, clarified the connection of the building project to other projects, detailed the schematic design of the new school, and explained the cost and financial implications of the project. Click here to view the presentation.
Project Update: October 14, 2011 (soil test results)
This is an update on the contamination of the field behind the recreation center and the Field School.
Last August I received a report from McPhail Associates, the engineering firm conducting site testing as part of the new Field School project. McPhail informed me that an unacceptable level of arsenic was found in one of twelve test pits. As required, these results were reported to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). In compliance with DEP protocol, we cordoned off the contaminated test pit site as well as a wide buffer zone. McPhail subsequently conducted further tests to confirm those results.
At that point the process was turned over to Green Seals, the environmental engineering firm that has been working on this same problem on the Case Estates property. Green Seals completed follow up testing to ascertain the scope of the contamination in preparation for removal of the soil and these findings were reported to me yesterday. There is an additional area of arsenic contamination above the accepted levels that is adjacent to the original test pit. As a result of this finding, we expanded the fencing. Green Seals also confirmed the presence of another contaminated site, though a different pesticide (chlordane) and in a different location that is closer to the swing set. Though it is not required by DEP protocol, this area will also be cordoned off. The next step is for Green Seals to confirm the amount of soil to be removed and present a cost estimate.
We will work with the Town to find funding with the goal of having the contamination removed before the ground is frozen. The map of the findings is on line here. As soon as I have more information about the plan for removal, I will inform the school community. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Project Update: September, 2011 This is a week of significant milestones for the Field School project. On Tuesday night the Selectmen will review the agreement with the state and, if all is well, sign the Memorandum of Understanding with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). On Wednesday morning, the Board at the MSBA will vote on whether or not to allow the project to move from schematic to design development. That is really the last hurdle to building from the perspective of the partnership with the MSBA The agency has already reviewed the schematic design and agreed to reimburse the Town of Weston up to $8.6 million on the project. The next milestone in the Town is agreeing to the debt exclusion at the November 12 Town Election and the subsequent warrant article at a Special Town Meeeting on Monday, November 14.
The Field School Project has been in the works for almost a decade. In fact, the School Committee first voted to build a new school in 2006 without state aid because the agency was being reorganized and there was a moratorium on new building. The project was delayed within Weston and in that window the MSBA reopened its application process for towns. The decision was made to seek state funding, which has brought us to this point. From the onset, all engineering reports concluded that the current facility is at the end of its lifecycle. The HVAC system, windows, envelope and roof all need to be replaced. Once those projects are addressed, the entire building would have to be brought up to current state code regarding handicapped accessibility, fire, and seismic.
If you are looking for information about the project, watch a Weston Cable broadcast of the September 19 presentation by architect Jonathan Levi, check out the poster boards at the Town Library, attend the next informational presentation at the Town Hall on October 25, or contact Dr. Cheryl Maloney with any questions. (Weston Media Center broadcast schedule)
Project Update: August 25, 2011
As part of the pre-construction site work for the new Field School, fourteen soil samples from the playing field were tested by McPhail Associates, Inc., Consulting Geotechnical Engineers. One of the samples, taken from behind the Recreation Center, had an elevated level of arsenic. Working with McPhail and the Department of Environmental Protection, we immediately identified and cordoned off a buffer area around the site. Subsequently we received an evaluation of soil data from LaGoy Risk Analysis, Inc. indicating that “the levels do not pose risks that exceed target risk levels, assuming exposure for 5 years.”
While we are pleased that the risk assessment is less than what we first feared, we will be doing further testing to ascertain the extent of the contamination. There will also be testing on an area with an elevated pesticide (chlordane) finding. Once the report on the additional testing is completed, we will create a plan to mitigate the hazard. It is likely that these substances have been in the soil for over forty years. However, our priority is the safety of the children. We will keep you apprised as we move through this process.

Superintendent of Schools Project Update: July 2011 The schematic design plans for the new building will be submitted to the MSBA in mid-August in preparation for the September MSBA Board meeting at which a vote will be taken to move the project forward into the Design Development phase. We anticipate bringing a request for funding to the November Town Meeting with the goal of beginning construction next summer. There are meetings held during the summer on the project. Meetings in preparation for submitting the schematic design have been held with the Permanent Building Committee (PBC) (July 20) and the Weston Historical Commission (July 21). There will be a joint meeting of the Weston School Committee and PBC on August 3 and on August 17 at 7:00 PM at Case House. The agenda will be discussionof Field School project budget, based on completed schematic design. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Project Update: June 2011 The Field School project will be reviewed at the May 25th meeting of the Massachusetts School Building Authority. The preferred alternative, a new school to be built on Alphabet Lane behind the current Field School, has been discussed with the MSBA subcommittee, but must be formally approved by the entire Board. Once approved the architect will begin work on schematic design, with a goal of completion for the September MSBA Board Meeting. Summer has arrived, but the work on the Field School Project continues. On Wednesday, June 29, Jonathen Levi, the architect whose firm is designing the new Field School, made a presentation of the schematic design to a joint meeting of the School Comittee and the Permanent Building Committee.
JLA, the architectural firm, is working toward the next submittal deadline with the MSBA, which is in August.
Project Update: May 17, 2011
Project Update: April 5, 2011 At a School Committee meeting on April 5, project architect Jonathan Levi presented new and renovated alternatives for the Field School project. The School Committee, with much audience participation, reviewed the renovated alternative (Design A) and four options for a new building (Designs B, C, D, and E). After much discussion, the
Weston School Committee voted to support Design B (a new building) as the preferred alternative to be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The proposed project was also presented to the Weston Historical Commission on April 6. Architect's PowerPoint presentation of the Preferred Schematic
Project Update: October 5, 2010 At the October 5 meeting of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Designer Selection Panel, three design/architectural firms were selected to be interviewed for the Field School project. They are Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc., Jonathan Levi Architects LLC and Flansburgh Associates, Inc. These firms, which were selected out of the eleven that submitted proposals, will be interviewed by the Designer Selection Panel on November 2, at which time a final decision will be made.
The Designer Selection Panel consists of twelve permanent members: four engineers, three architects, one construction expert, one member of the general public, and four representatives from the MSBA. In addition, the three voting members from Weston for this project are: Dr. Ed Heller, Chair of the School Committee, Dr. Cheryl Maloney, Superintendent of Schools, and John Messervy, an architect and member of the Weston Permanent Building Committee. Once the firm is selected the Town will begin negotiating a contract and then the feasibility phase will begin. It is during this process that the decision to renovate or build new will be addressed. During this phase there will be a series of public meetings held to solicit feedback from parents and community members. Questions concerning the MSBA designer selection process or any aspects of the Field School project can be emailed to Superintendent of Schools Cheryl Maloney or Principal Matt Lucey.
Project Update: September 21, 2010
Weston Public Schools has been working with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to address the replacement or renovation of the Field School. A joint School Committee/Permanent Building Committee meeting will be held on Monday, September 27, at 6:30 PM at Case House (89 Wellesley Street). At that joint meeting, the selection of a design firm will be discussed. Eleven firms submitted proposals by the September 14deadline. They will be assessed based on such categories as qualifications, certifications, experience and organization. While the Town does not control the selection of the architect, it is entitled to participation on the MSBA Designer Selection Panel, which will evaluate the proposals and make the final decision at their October 5 meeting.
The Designer Selection Panel is composed of nine permanent members appointed by the MSBA and three members assigned by the local district. The Weston representatives are School Committee Chair Ed Heller, PBC member John Messervy, and School Superintendent Cheryl Maloney. Once the design firm has been selected, the project will move into the feasibility phase. At that time, a public forum will be held. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Superintendent Cheryl Maloney at maloneyc@weston.org.
Project Update: August 19, 2010 Compass Management has been selected and approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to be the Owner’s Project Manager for the Field School Project. Tim Bonfatti and Jeff D’Amico, from Compass, met for the first time with the Field School Building Committee (FSBC) on August 18, 2010. The FSBC includes all members of the Permanent Building Committee as well as Ed Heller, Chair of the School Committee, and Steve Charlip, Chair of the Selectmen. Non-voting members of the FSBC include Superintendent Cheryl Maloney, Principal Matt Lucey, Director of Finance & Operations Cindy Mahr, and Director of Facilities Jerry McCarty.
Compass shared the draft of a Request for Design Services, which was reviewed and discussed. The FSBC voted to approve the draft, which has been submitted to the MSBA for their feedback. It will then be advertised in the Central Register and COM/PASS, where interested Design Firms will be notified of the opportunity.
It is anticipated that the Design Company will be selected in October.
Project Update: June 28, 2010 Members of the Permanent Building Committee/Field School Building Committee met on Friday, June 25 to select the finalists for the Owners Project Manager (OPM). The members of the Town’s PBC include: Mark Susser, Chair, John Messervy, Jim Polando, Bob Fronk, and Joe Gazzola. The voting members of the Field School Building Committee include the PBC and Ed Heller and Steve Charlip. Non voting members include Superintendent Cheryl Maloney, Principal Matt Lucey and Director of Finance and Operations, Cindy Mahr. Using a rubric, each voting member scored the twelve proposals that were received. The scores were compiled and the proposals ranked accordingly.
After discussion and a vote, the following companies were selected as finalists: Compass, PMA, and Walsh. They will be interviewed starting at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 30. The meeting will be held in the large conference room at Case House, 89 Wellesley Street.
Weston Public Schools and the Town of Weston are partnering with the Massachusetts Building School Building Authority on the Field School project, which means the state will provide funding for a third of construction and design costs. The name of the OPM selected at Wednesday’s meeting will be submitted to the MSBA for approval. The next step will be to solicit Feasibility Designer/Planner. For more information about the MSBA process, consult the website. (http://www.massschoolbuildings.org/ ).

For more information about the MSBA process, consult the website. (http://www.massschoolbuildings.org/ ).The Town of Weston Permanent Building Committee (PBC), including special members from the Field School Building Committee -- School Committee Chair Ed Heller and non-voting members Superintendent Cheryl Maloney and Principal Matt Lucey -- is moving forward in the process to hire an owner’s project manager (OPM) for the Field School project.
Below is the timetable:
*PBC meetings are held at 7:30 PM at the Town Hall and are open to the public.
Project Update: May 14, 2010
As outlined by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), there are 31 steps to a project completion. We are now at step 11 for the Field School project, which is hiring an Owner’s Project Manager (OPM). For those of you unfamiliar with this position, an OPM is the person who represents the Town in a project. He or she coordinates with the architect, builder and owner and verifies all financial issues. The MSBA mandates the hiring of an OPM if construction costs are equal or greater than $1.5 million. The Field School project is at this point in the process and we are advertising for an OPM, with a deadline of June 17 for applications.
At the June 23 Permanent Building Committee (PBC) meeting, the Field School Building Committee (which consists of PBC members and Ed Heller, School Committee Chair, as voting members as well as Matt Lucey, Field School Principal. and the Superintendent of Schools) will review all of the proposals and shorten the list to the top three or four candidates. Those candidates will be interviewed on June 28. Both of those meetings are open to the public.
Once a candidate is selected, negotiations will begin and the candidate’s name will be submitted to the MSBA for approval. The MSBA must also approve the OPM that a Town selects (step 12). At this time, we anticipate that the OPM will be on board by August 6, 2010 and we will then be poised to solicit a feasibility designer/planner.
If you have questions about any aspects of the Field School project, please email or call Dr. Cheryl Maloney, Superintendent (781-786-5210--new phone number as of Febraury 2011).
Project Update: October 22, 2009 At the September meeting of the MSBA (Massachusetts School Building Authority) board, a vote was taken to move the Field School project into the capital pipeline. While that does not guarantee funding, it is the action that we were hoping for since we submitted our application last fall. Successfully partnering with the state through the MSBA will result in cost sharing of at least 30 percent.
Last week town manager Donna Vanderclock and I held a conference call with administrators from the MSBA as to next steps in the process. As a result we are gathering some documents, completing forms and scheduling agenda items in preparation for the October 27th Board of Selectmen meeting for a required vote. The School Committee will discuss this process at its regular business meeting on October 26.
Diane Sullivan from the MSBA estimates that it will take about three to four weeks before we move to the next step. We expect to present our completed studies, engineering reports and other documents to the MSBA before an Owner's Project Manager is hired.
Project Update: September 14, 2009
The public meeting to be held at Town Hall on September 14 has been postponed. A key focus of the meeting was to discuss feedback from the state, which the administration understood would be released at a July meeting of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). However, there was no action taken at the July 29th MSBA Board Meeting regarding the Weston “Statement of Interest (SOI).” The district submitted the SOI in October of 2008 as the first step in pursuing state funding to help offset the cost of addressing the facility needs of the Field School. If the project is selected to receive state funding, at least 30% of qualified project costs would be paid through the MSBA. The next MSBA Board Meeting will be held on September 29. Following that meeting, the School Committee will re-schedule the Town Hall meeting to discuss the status of the Field School Project.
The School Committee will hold a regular School Committee meeting on September 14 at Case House, 7PM.
Project Update: Team Meets during Summer
The Field School Project Committee met Saturday, July 18, 2009 at the Case House to review options for the building. Members of the school administration, Cheryl Maloney, Matt Lucey and Ed Heller, were joined by community members to discuss the Field School project and conceptualize potential designs that could be incorporated into the current building. The School Committee and administration are committed to working with the Historical Commission and supporting the work of the Permanent Building Committee to find the best solution for the town and students.
The school district is still waiting to hear from the Massachusetts Building Authority regarding the application to partner with the state in funding the project. The Statement of Interest was filed last fall, with the understanding that decisions would be made in the winter of 2009.
Project Update: Town of Weston Seeks State Funding For Field School Project
Dr. Cheryl Maloney, the Superintendent of the Weston Public Schools, submitted a formal request to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) requesting consideration for partial funding of a new or renovated Field School facility. The formal request document is known as a Statement of Interest (SOI). The submittal of an SOI initiates a review of the stated need for a school facility building project by the MSBA, in conjunction with the Town and School officials. The next step in the MSBA process was expected to occur in January 2009 but has been delayed by the MSBA until May 2009 when our project’s eligibility for funding will be determined. At this point we consider the MSBA an important source of funding for this project and will work towards making the MSBA’s participation a reality.
For projects to move forward for funding, the MSBA requires that many of the steps involved in evaluating options and selecting the best solution be done jointly with them. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Field School Project to be on hold until we know about the involvement of the MSBA. Over the past 10 months, beginning prior to the current MSBA process, the Field School Project Committee (FSPC) has been working towards making a sound choice among the alternatives for providing a school that best meets the needs of the Weston’s 4th and 5th graders. Much of the work of the FSPC has been to gather a set of information pertinent to the decision. That work is substantially complete.
