passed out a copy of the RFP for the Construction Manager
(CM). Jeff reported that 5 CMs showed up for
the pre-proposal
review of the Town
Offices and Library. The list included: McMiller,
North Branch, Bauen Corp.,
Glen Builders, and Brookstone Builders.
General CM questions:
A. Requirements for sprinkler system?
B. Library operations during construction?
C. Starting schedule?
Jeff said
we could start as early as May. John Urdi said they should be ready to cut into the building
around August. Andrea said the library
could close in August for vacation.
3. RFP's must be received by Oct. 9th and copies
will be available for each of the committees. The committee members will have
to pick up their packets at the Town Office and review them prior to our
Meeting on Oct. 14th. Jeff wants to narrow the list of candidates down to 3, interviews will be scheduled for Oct. 20th.
4. John Urdi passed out new versions of the design plans with updates
to the library's workroom and joint break room.
Question
from Last Meeting: Is it OK to locate mechanicals in Old Basement? Yes
Andrea
asked:
A. Where is the Janitor's closet?
B. Where can we locate Special Historical
books?
C. Where can we store back issues of Magazines?
Committee
discussed Andrea's questions and decided to re-think the joint break room. Chuck
said no-one really would use the break room to sit, they
will take their stuff back to their desk.
Jeff suggested to shrink the current break room
into a pass thru hall with a sink, micro, coffee, refrig,
and small counter. Divide the rest of
the space into 2 rooms, Janitor's closet and display room for the Special
History Books and back issues of Magazines.
Norm
questioned the arrangement of the Libraries storage room/ restroom; will it
restrict future expansion of the workroom? The committee decided to switch the
restroom and storage room. By moving the
restroom to the outer wall, we could remove the storage room which would open
the area into the library or used to enlarge the workroom.
