Board approves $479,664 reconstruction of Waveney House western parking lot
Summary
Selectmen authorized a $436,664.19 contract plus contingency with Peter Lani Inc. to mill, reclaim and repave the Western parking lot at Waveney House, adding accessible routes, lighting and approximately 17 parking spaces.
The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to award a contract to Peter Lani Inc. for the milling, reclaiming and repaving of the western parking lot at Waveney House. The low bid was $436,664.19; the board added a 10% contingency of $43,000 for a total project authorization of $479,664.19.
Department of Public Works staff said the reconstruction responds to accessibility deficiencies identified by the Department of Justice related to the accessible route from parking into the building. The project will realign and reconfigure the lot to improve the accessible route, relocate accessible parking adjacent to the accessible route and add a sidewalk to connect to other campus parking areas. The plan also adds about 17 parking spaces through a more efficient layout, installs decorative lighting on the opposite side of the lot, replaces or reuses some granite curbing and includes landscaping and timber rail for screening.
DPW staff said the bid included substantial cost for lampposts and associated electrical work; to save time the town will reuse stock lampposts where possible and replace the stock as needed. The project will also install impervious pavers on one side to satisfy drainage requirements and use granite curbing from the town’s existing supply.
The contractor estimated the work would take about a month and DPW plans to coordinate construction timing around events at the Waveney House to maintain access. The board authorized the contract with contingency and directed staff to proceed.
