Windows have arrived on site.  The retaining walls are being installed around the ramps.  The blocking on the window frames is on going. Mr. Turley will review the schedule and report to the committee if the project appears to be on schedule.  Member Maidman asked how long Rogan will continue to work on the exterior of the building.  The work on the exterior will continue as long as the weather holds out.

Technology/FF & E proposal:  The committee reviewed the proposal from BH +A for the FF & E and technology.  The chairman asked the committee members to read this and be prepared to vote on this at the November 7th meeting.  The priority is to purchase the items necessary for the functioning of the building and offices.

 

Water line review – Chairman Gladstone gave an overview of the meeting that was held between the parties at the DPW offices was reviewed.  There was discussion regarding the need to pave the roadway.  The DPW superintendent and the SSBC project manager worked together to determine a solution of the roadway.  The SSBC could not handle the additional costs to the contingency at this early stage on the project. Mr. Hooper had suggested that the DPW fund the future repaving of this road repair out of their capital projects budget and DPW would like to make the determination of the location of the pipe.  Mr. Hooper asked if there is any money left in the contingency then it be used to reimburse the DPW capital projects budget.  Mr. Scarlata stated that Rogan will be instructed to work with the town’s staff on the location of the installation of the water line.  Mr. Scarlata stated that he will issue a change order (maybe no cost) to provide the proper documentation. 

MOTION:          To allow the contractor to install a new water main and leave it up to DPW to make the final determination on where the pipe will be installed either the lake side or the shoulder side of the road.  If DPW selects the lake side of the road and the roadway needs to be cut then the DPW will fund the repaving of the driveway through their capital projects budget.  (Croteau/Wolk – unanimous)

Wilber Abatement Project – STV

Project Status – Mr. Kevin Turley informed the committee that he visited the site and reviewed the window openings. It appears that the molding is on the outside of the plywood and therefore would not have to be removed.  The glazing needs to be installed and it appears that the plywood would need to be removed in order to remove the asbestos containing glazing.  The securing of the windows is important to the Fire Department to have the building secured so that the access would be limited.  There has been some change in scope to adhere the plywood back on the windows.  It was presented to the Town Meeting that the windows and the roof would be left open.  The Chairman has asked Member Baskin to get an opinion from the potential developer, Frontier, as to what has to be saved for the windows so that it will be eligible for Parks Departments – Federal Government grant.  There was discussion regarding the removal of the roof and windows.  Smith and Wessel issued a memo stating that the asbestos in the roof and window was non friable and would not pose a danger if the building were to catch fire.  STV issued a memo based on the site visit on October 13, 2006
