Select Board approves quote to replace windows at WREC; 33% deposit to come from building reserve
Summary
After reviewing a quote for replacement windows at the WREC, the board approved the project and authorized a 33% deposit to come from the building maintenance capital reserve fund.
The Brentwood Select Board approved a quote to replace 17 windows at the WREC facility and authorized payment of a 33% deposit from the building maintenance capital-reserve fund.
Town staff presented a Coastal Industries (Haverhill, Mass.) quote for window replacement at the WREC. The contractor’s estimate presented at the meeting totaled $46,165.12. The contractor requested a 33% deposit to begin work; the board approved using the building-maintenance capital-reserve fund to pay the deposit. The deposit amount, as presented, is $15,334.17 (33% of $46,165.12). The project will be charged to the capital-reserve fund rather than to the operating budget.
The board confirmed there are sufficient funds in the building-maintenance capital-reserve account to cover the deposit and the motion to accept the quote and authorize the deposit passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The window replacement is a capital maintenance project; paying from the capital-reserve fund avoids an unbudgeted operating expense and allows work to proceed on a facility used by recreation programs.
Ending: Finance will process the deposit and the vendor will schedule work once materials and paperwork are complete.
