Bids have been received for this project <br /> and the bids exceed available bond funds in the amount requested to be <br /> transferred. The amount of money set aside for this project was based <br /> upon estimates considered reasonable ones at the time they were made. <br /> No more bond funds are available to meet this need nor are there sufficient <br /> capital outlay funds in the current budget to meet this need. This de- <br /> mand on the system's capital outlay funds was not foreseen when the <br /> budget resolution was adopted last summer. <br /> The renovation of Lincoln Center has become an emergency because <br /> the present heating system has developed a major leak in the hot water <br /> lines and the boiler has been declared unsafe for operation during <br /> another heating season. If a new heating system is to be installed prior <br /> to next winter, work must be begun immediately. In addition to the failing <br /> heating system, the building has an over-loaded electrical system and a <br /> number of temporary partitions which do not meet current building and <br /> fire codes and which must be corrected at the time the heating system is <br /> replaced. <br /> The Board of Education has sufficient funds in unappropriated fund <br /> balance in the current expense area to cover this transfer without having <br /> any adverse affect on the system's current expense situation. <br />
