Status Report on 2006 CPA Projects Open Space and Recreation Plan The Town of Lexington hired Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. to update the Town's Open Space and Recreation Plan. A kickoff meeting was held in January 2008 and the intent is to submit a plan to the State in May 2008 with the final plan submitted in June 2008. The cost is $20,000 with the required maps. Police Station — Interior Renovations Annual Town Meeting voted $100,000 in funding for interior renovations for the Police Station Dispatch Room, the front desk, and Commanding Officer's Room. A modern digital dispatch room and commanding officer room was constructed as well as a newly configured space for the front entrance desk. The Police Department had an open house in June 2007. This project is complete. The Main Fire Station on Bedford Street — Renovations Annual Town Meeting voted $100,000 for the floor, roof and drainage improvements at the Fire Station on Bedford Street. Of the $52,200 appropriated for the floor, $16,200 was spent on a Condition Survey /Existing Conditions Report and Conceptual Plans completed by CBI Consulting, Inc. of Boston. The remaining funds, or $36,000, have not been spent at this time given that the projected cost for a floor replacement at the Fire Station HQ is in excess of $700,000. Until a master study of the building to make recommendations on how to better utilize the existing space and/or how to maximize benefits of an addition to the current structure is completed, these funds are on hold. As for the $47,800 appropriated for roof and drainage work, project bids were received at the end of February 2008 and will soon be evaluated. While a bid has not yet been awarded, the roof work for Fire Station HQ is on target to be financed through appropriated CPA funds. Cary Memorial Building — Vault Climate Control Annual Town Meeting voted $60,000 for the rehabilitation and restoration of the records vault in Cary Memorial Hall. Fisher Associates was retained to conduct an evaluation of the necessary work for bid specifications. The bidding process for this project will begin in May and work will be completed in June 2008. To date, $7,500 has been paid to Fisher leaving a remainder of $52,500 plus an additional $16,000 funding surplus from the Cary Vault Shelving project, which Special Town Meeting authorized to transfer to this project. Donna Hooper, project manager is optimistic that the appropriated funding will cover the complete cost. Cary Vault Shelving Special Town Meeting held in the fall of 2006 voted $60,000 for shelving for the main vault of the Cary Memorial Building. Donnegan Systems, Inc. was contracted for the installation of a new Kardex Shelving System in the vault. The shelving was installed and the project was completed for a cost of $44,000 in summer 2007. Special Town Meeting also authorized the funding surplus from this project to transfer to the Cary Memorial Building — Vault Climate Control project to help meet anticipated costs of that pending project. 25
