Sewer work at county nursing home two-thirds complete; project under budget and expected to finish in about two weeks
Summary
County staff reported that sewer repairs at the county nursing home are on schedule and under budget: two-thirds of B Building is complete, work is underway on C Building, and staff expect to finish in about two weeks despite a small delay for a pipe configuration change.
County staff told commissioners March 27 that sewer work at the Strafford County nursing home is progressing on schedule and remains under budget.
Staff reported crews have completed about two-thirds of B Building and have one run left there. Work has moved to the main floor of C Building. Contractors encountered a location where a pipe changes size and direction, which added an extra day or two to the schedule; staff said the delay was minor and the project still looks on track to finish in about two weeks.
Commissioners were told the project is “way under budget” at the moment. Staff praised the contractor teams for maintaining positive relationships with residents and staff while working, saying the contractors continued working steadily and had cordial interactions with residents.
A member of the meeting, identified as Susan, asked for the status of the sewer project; staff provided the progress update during the meeting's public-business portion and said they would return a more complete accounting if requested.
Why it matters: the repairs affect residents and operations at the county nursing home; schedule and budget affect relocation risk, service continuity and the county’s short-term capital planning.
Staff did not present a new budget request; they said current funds and progress are sufficient to complete the work on the timetable indicated.
