Call to order: Ms. Fenollosa called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm, followed by reading the guidelines for a public meeting and for a meeting via Zoom 2. Update on request by Recreation/DPF for Center Recreation Complex Bathrooms & Maintenance Building Renovation, Article 10(e): Mike Cronin explained that as part of the original scope of work, one of the things considered in the initial cost factoring was the potential for a new facility. To determine that, they looked at a couple of different scenarios and the square footage number and the cost of building new is reflected in the original request for$915,000. Part of the process they went through with the Recreation Committee was to identify what is the right scope of the work for this project and the new facility came off the table. The final version of the renovation which includes the component of the six bathrooms plus the work on the DPW side for access to their equipment was the final scope. The cost estimate includes $611,000. for construction costs and a $20,000 component related to technology pieces (controlling access to the doors, HVAC systems) so that they can be operated remotely like all the other buildings. Lastly, an amount is included for contingencies because construction dollars are all over the place and because any unknowns that might appear when old walls are removed, etc. Total request is $680,000. Ms. Battite added that this project does not address the external group storage facilities that are in the area of the bathrooms, because a lot of decisions still need to be made about that area. They are not to be confused with the DPW storage section that is part of the bathroom structure. Ms. Rhodes mentioned that the Town Manager-created working group is meeting next Tuesday, the 291h, to discuss and make a determination about the bathrooms and the (future) high school. It will be available to the public via Zoom. Ms. Fenollosa mentioned the CPA articles will come up for approval before Town Meeting next week (Wednesday, March 301h), which means there would be no time to make 1
