Facilities Committee  + Oversight Committee Update

The Oversight Committee has made a lot of progress but there is still a lot of work ahead.  We welcome William Ford to the Oversight committee as our Owners Rep/Clerk of the Works for the duration of the project.   We have reviewed and pre-qualified General Contractors in preparation for future biding in May.  The architects are working on finalizing the preliminary cost estimate with the Design Development Drawings.   The Oversight Committee is now reviewing the cost and making sure we stay in budget.  We will probably have to make some cuts in order to make sure that when bids come in we are not over what we can spend.

The Architect and Civil Engineer have submitted plans to the town for our Design Review Permit.

We had the hearing with the Design Review Board last Tuesday April 2, 2013 they are in support of the project as presented with two conditions that we get a curb cut permit and coordinate with the town the under ground pipe that will bring the treated storm water into the wetlands behind the Recreational field.

TruexCullins Architects are working now on the Final Bid Set at the same time we will continue to work on making sure the plans reflect what we need and what we can afford.  We are hoping to start construction on June 24,2013!!!

On the financial side, bank and loan accounts are being held at the Merchant’s Bank for the temporary bonding.  Finally, the Committee is developing the project timeline, identifying the cash flow requirements and drafting up bid specifications for the permanent financing.
