Suburban Middlesex Insulation was the apparent low bidder and a thorough reference check was conducted.  Good references were received from the Town of Foxboro, Sharon School Department, MA Department of Transportation and from a hygienist from UEC.

 

MOTION:          To accept the bid of $447,000 from Suburban Middlesex Insulation (SMI) for the Wilber School Abatement Project and to direct counsel to prepare the contract for execution by either the Chairman or the Vice Chairperson and to direct the chairman to issue a notice to award. (Wolk/Belton – unanimous)

 

There was discussion about the scope of services that STV will provide for Construction Administration.  STV will be invited to meet with the SSBC to discuss the level of services that will be provided by themselves and their HAZMAT Consultant – Smith & Wessel.

 

Community Center Project:

The committee discussed the builders risk insurance situation and reviewed Change Order #1 which increases the coverage on the building from $8 million to $11 million.  Rich Weiner, Weiner Company, the Town’s agent, has done an outstanding job in coordinating the efforts on behalf of the Town to obtain adequate coverage for the Community Center Building.  A thank you letter will be sent to Mr. Weiner. 

 

MOTION:          To accept Change Order # 1 for $26,401 for increased insurance coverage. (Wolk/Belton – unanimous)
