Community Center Project - BH +A
Project Status - The project is moving right a long with underground plumbing being installed in the basement level, the septic distribution box has been installed, the hole is being dug for the septic tank. The electrical is being roughed in on the second floor, the majority of the additional structural shoring has been installed. The trenches have been dug for the drainage system and to install footings for the ramps, stair towers and front porch. Work on the elevator pit will begin as soon as we get the report back on the soil test from the pit where the underground oil tank was located. The demolition of the interior of the building is completed and the entire structure is down to the studs.
Ground Breaking Member Maidman stated that the groundbreaking is scheduled for October 9, 2006 at 10:00am. There is very limited parking in the lower lot. Rogan is dedicating a ceremonial shovel for the event. Light refreshments will be served.
Report from Change Order Committee The next meeting will be scheduled for October 12th at 7:00am at the Community Center Trailer.
Technology Meeting: A meeting was held on September 27th to discuss the technology plan for the new building. In attendance were Norma Fitzgerald, Melissa Lothrop, Gordon Gladstone, Fred Clay, Don Hillegass and Tom Scarlata. The plan as desired was much more expensive than the budget would allow. The priorities for the FF & E and technology will be based on necessities rather than the desires of the proponents.
FF& E: A scope of work for FF & E was distributed at the September 27th meeting for the committee to review. There was discussion about the services that will be needed by the architect, the committee made some changes and the revised scope of work will be sent to the architect so that he may submit a proposal for the next meeting.
MOTION: To ask the architect to provide a price proposal for additional services for FF & E per the scope of work as discussed. (Wolk/Croteau unanimous)
HAZMAT Removal The test results were in from Cyn Environmental for the materials that were stored in the tank. The level of TPH was 6400ppm and the acceptable level is 500ppm as a result of these high readings and the fact that the tank was never properly cleaned before it was abandoned in place it is considered hazardous containerized material and must be disposed of differently. The committee reviewed the proposal.
MOTION: To authorize Cyn environmental to proceed with the disposal of the tank soil as described in their proposal in an amount not to exceed $5125.00. (Wolk/Croteau unanimous)
Invoices:
Paul J. Rogan (contingent upon submission of schedule) $630,543.33 (Wolk/Croteau unanimous)
Wilber Abatement Project STV
Project Status Member Mike Baskin stated that the Wilber Redevelopment Committee has recommended to the Board of Selectmen a development group for Wilber School building. The developer has stated that they have a concern with the removal of the roof and the windows. This portion of the work is potentially left until the end of the abatement contract. There was discussion regarding the obligation from Town meeting to abate the building. The chairman stated to the committee that he had a conversation with the Town Counsel regarding the phasing of the work and possibly to defer portions of the work. The Town will incur additional costs for remobilization and future work. We could also delete this portion of the work, however, it was sold to Town Meeting that there was an urgency to abate the building due to the some catastrophe. It was the opinion of the committee that if the roof and the windows were left in place and if there was an accident then the entire building would need to be abated. There was debate on the value of the re-use or salvage of the windows.
There was a suggestion regarding two options to deal with the roof and windows; 1: would be to have STV develop a scope of work to close-up the windows and secure the roof as a change order to Suburban. 2. Have the potential developer give a recommendation for the windows and the roof.
