<br />Police Station Update
<br />Steve Brown from Dore and Whittier provided an update on the Police Station construction. He reported that metal
<br />and membrane roofing were complete, and work on the gutters and ridge vents was continuing. There was a lot of
<br />work done underground. The solar canopy footings were ongoing, and they were 50-60% done. The canopy
<br />footings were expected to be done in approximately two weeks. Installation, plumbing testing, and ductwork testing
<br />were ongoing. Tile work was complete. The second coat of paint applications were ongoing. Electrical and data
<br />rough continued on both floors. The elevator installation was complete. The ceiling tile installations were mostly
<br />complete. In March, the remaining curtainwall, caulking, sealing, and trim would be complete. The metal roof
<br />crimping and ridge vents would be completed.
<br />The exterior trim would be prepped and painted. The rooftop HVAC components would be complete. The
<br />generator was received and would be installed. Eversource had begun working on transformers. It was expected
<br />the transformer for EV charging would be arriving in mid-May. The upcoming milestones included April 5th for
<br />permanent power energized, MEP startups finishing on May 6th, paving in mid-May except for the parking area
<br />would be done, testing and balancing to be done by June 3rd, the owner FFE and move-in would begin in the third
<br />week of May, the E911 switchover would occur on June 20th, and the remaining paving would be done by July 1.
<br />Steve Brown provided a diagram of the building with the phases.
<br />
<br />It was asked when the move-in date was. It was stated it would be on June 20th [subject to status of the Certificate
<br />of Occupancy]. Cost reductions on solar steel were asked about. It was reported that there was some commentary
<br />on simplifying one detail to save money, and the Historical Commission voted and approved the reduction, which
<br />would save $450,000 on the steel component of the project. The galvanization process was reduced to save
<br />money. It was clarified that the schedule was still the same. It was reported that the steel, installation, welding, and
<br />paint cost $2.4 million. It was discussed that $2.4 million seemed to be the low number. It was asked how the
<br />overage affected the payback. It was explained that the number was pushed out further, but a recount would have
<br />to be done once there was a final cost. It was reported that there were three models, all of which had zero returns
<br />on investment. There would be a presentation to the Select Board on the 3rd regarding the canopies.
<br />
<br />$900,000 was spent out of a $2 million contingency, and there were still some change orders coming.
