2021 Proposed Capital Project Q&A

Why is VCS Proposing a Capital Project Now?

Last spring, Victor Central School administrators, in conjunction with the District’s architectural firm, SWBR, completed a state mandated Building Condition Survey. This professional assessment of every building, required by the New York State Education Department every five years, is designed to:

Uphold the highest level of health, safety and welfare for all students
Sustain excellence in education program quality
Maintain modern campus infrastructure
Maximize current building utilization
Minimize energy usage
Implement justifiable sustainable initiatives

The largest component of the proposed 2021 capital project is the construction of a new Transportation Center to replace the existing 50-year old bus garage located on the north end of the VCS campus. Other work includes general roofing, roads and various building renovations and maintenance. The specific scope of work can be found in the Proposed Building Improvement Details section of this brochure.

Who was involved in the development of the capital project proposal?

Proposed Building Improvement Details:

Based on enrollment (both current and projected) as well as mandatory maintenance checks that come under review every five years in what is known as a Building Condition Survey, the Capital Project Advisory Committee recommends the following renovations/upgrades at each building:

Repair track surface
Renovate and addition to Senior High School locker rooms
Replace HVAC equipment and air handlers
Replace approximately 100 feet of hot water supply/return piping in High School cafeteria vicinity (rebalance existing pumps)
Install fan and duct system to Senior High School science storage
Install fan and duct system adjacent to Senior High School cafeteria kitchen
Install fan and duct system adjacent to Junior High School cafeteria kitchen

The estimated cost of this project is $29,287,427.
The District will be using $2,500,000 from the capital reserve fund for this project. State aid will cover a portion of the project.
The tax impact of this project would be .16 cents per thousand dollars of full property value.
~ For example, a $200,000 home would cost taxpayers $32 per year.
~ The cost for a STAR recipient would be $27 per year.
~ The cost for an Enhanced STAR recipient would be $21 per year.
The tax impact is expected to occur in the 2022-23 fiscal year.
