Lakeville police station construction advances; trusses, conduit and detention masonry scheduled
Summary
Committee received a construction update showing concrete slabs, conduit installation and a schedule that calls for roof trusses and an asphalt binder coat by month—9s end.
The Police Station Building Committee for the Town of Lakeville heard a construction progress report on Wednesday, Oct. 3, that detailed completed concrete work, conduit installation and a schedule that aims to get the building weather-tight before winter.
Committee members were told that KLS Concrete finished the concrete slabs for the sally port and outbuilding and that electrical and communications conduit and duct banks have been installed. Work on catch basins and roof drainage piping is under way and field welding of moment connections for steel beams is complete.
Paul Lacey of AP Whitaker is arranging well testing; Brunswick Building Systems has installed about 40% of exterior metal studs and BPI Construction finished exterior wood frame walls for the outbuilding and has moved to the main building. LNS Enterprises completed field welding, and wood trusses for the outbuilding were scheduled to arrive and start installation the following Monday.
Looking ahead, the committee was told masons will install CMU block for the detention area and sally port walls, septic systems will be installed and main-building wood trusses are expected to start installation on Oct. 15. An asphalt binder coat is hoped to be placed by the end of the month. The contractor aims to make the building weather-tight — roof on and exterior walls closed — before the first snowfall.
The report said the overall project schedule remains on track. Committee members asked follow-up questions about which subcontractors are handling specific scopes, including septic work and cabling; those items were identified in the meeting as the civil contractor (Ramco) for septic and the site contractor/AP Whitaker for cabling coordination.
Less critical items on the committee's hot list include utility coordination (TMLP, gas company, Verizon and Comcast), curb cut submission with the town for the park side of the site, and furniture procurement with W.B. Mason. Committee members were also advised that testing and inspection scheduling is pending and that material testing continues.
Committee members did not take further formal action during the update but asked staff and contractors to continue coordination and provide scheduling details to the committee.
