Town staff reported the library HVAC contractor has signed the contract and expects to begin construction in early to mid‑October. Staff said the library has secured a $15,000 grant as part of the project funding and discussed financing options including New Hampshire Saves assistance to offset upfront costs.
Board members asked whether removal of old furnaces and capping or removing obsolete ductwork were included in the contractor's quote; staff said some proposals addressed capping certain ducts but that large‑scale removal had not been included in the initial quote and could be an additional expense. Members asked staff to follow up with the contractor to clarify whether duct removal and disposal are covered or require separate estimates.
The board agreed trustees who requested control of the project had been engaged and that staff should verify which mechanical removals are included in the current contract and the associated costs.
