Committee Meeting of June 7, 1999 were approved as submitted by a vote of 6-0-0.
Review of Construction Progress
Brett Donham reviewed the construction progress on the project to date. He also
reviewed the change orders and noted that more than halfway through the project, there
are only $15,000 worth of change orders, $7,000 of which was to restore the Town Seals
to the Tower.
The schedule was reviewed. It was noted that a Certificate of Occupancy and substantial
occupancy should be gained by the end of December. Two change orders have been
issued to date. The Contractor will have to do an excellent job of management of sub-
contractors to make sure that they are not trying to work at the same place at the same
time.
The Town Manager noted that we are trying to pay a lot of attention to neighborhood
impact, and that neighbors should contact him directly if there are problems or issues.
On motion by Russell seconded by Cormier, the Police Station Building Committee
voted to adjourn their meeting of July 26, 1999 at 7:30 p.m. by a vote of 6-0-0.
