Project: Town Office Complex Building Envelope CPA Category: Historic Preservation Amount Requested: $95,000 Amount Recommended: $95,000 CPC Vote: Approval (9 -0) Project Description: This project will repair /replace the existing copper gutters, copper ridge vents and copper downspouts ($75,000) on the Town Office Building, Cary Hall and Police Station. Copper repair /replacement is necessary to maintain adequate attic space ventilation and directed roof drainage. In addition, new storm windows ($20,000) are proposed for Cary Hall. The Building Finance Advisory Committee recommends all of this work. The storm windows will be the same type installed on the Town Office Building and Police Station two years ago, and are acceptable to the Historic Districts Commission. In conjunction with the storm window work, there is a request in the Capital Budget to re -paint the exterior trim of all three buildings. On Cary Hall, this re- painting will include rehabilitation/re- glazing of the existing double hung windows, which along with the new storm windows will effectively create a new, energy efficient window system for the building. Project Goals and Objectives: • Repair /replace existing copper gutters, copper ridge vents and copper downspouts on the Town Office Building, Cary Hall and Police Station; • Install new storm windows in Cary Hall. Project Benefit: This project will continue the ongoing effort under the successful Building Envelope Program to preserve building systems as necessary to minimize future impacts on operating and capital costs, and to ensure that the buildings remain fully functional for their intended use. Funding Request: This project requests $95,000 of CPA funds. 16
