streetscape project. Don discussed the irrigation plan.. A smart irrigation system and lawn around the tree bases were reviewed. Construction Cost Review January's 50% Completed CD is $3,620,136.

Also found the existing sewer pipes are not ACM. • Revere Copper waived labor cost on material production. • Selective revision of HVAC units to simplify installation. • Updated cost estimates for exhibits per project clarifications. Asphalt roofing not approved, and slate is the preferred material per HDC. It was suggested to add as a deduct Alternate if HDC reconsiders approving the use of asphalt shingles. David Kanter asked to have FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) cost estimates shown. Motion to proceed with the bidding as advertised, Seconded -APPROVED 3. Westview Cemetery— Justin Humphrey& Robert Jefferies (TBA Architects) Justin reviewed his presentation with the committee. As previously proposed, plan showed a single- story building consisting of administrative space, lunch room, locker rooms, a 4-bay garage & maintenance area, and outdoor material storage bins. The new building location would have an entrance off of Westview Street leading to a 4-car parking area. The public entrance would lead into the administrative area. The new building would incorporate a visitor/bereavement service area which does not exist in the current cemetery building. • Relocation closer to Westview Street allows for improved traffic flow and opens up land for gravesite development, i.e. where the current facility exists. It also provides for future expansion for a crematory or other function at the new location. • Current operations would not be impacted during construction because the existing building would remain operational until the new building is completed. • Floor plan, elevations, and building materials were also reviewed. • The building design is based on an all electric facility consistent with the town's Sustainability Policy intent. The design is to utilize a septic system with no connection to the town's sewer system. Justin stated he would have DD (Design Documents) by the end of Feb. 2019. 90% set by March and this will be the set to provide for Annual Town Meeting Mar. 25, 2019.
