Needham PBBC hears final punch‑list and acoustic work update for Emery Grover
Summary
Committee heard a brief update on remaining Emery Grover punch‑list items, including an outstanding sound issue under peer review. Consultant Lawrence Copley completed a peer review and provided possible solutions; mechanical engineer sign‑off remains outstanding.
The Needham Permanent Public Building Committee received an update July 7 on remaining punch‑list work at Emery Grover, where a persistent sound issue is under review.
Ken reported that consultant Lawrence Copley performed a peer review of the work provided by Syntech, the subconsultant for BHA, and prepared a draft set of recommendations. Ken said he and staff have been discussing the draft with the project architect and the mechanical engineer and that the mechanical engineer questioned whether a specified attenuator will fit the existing ductwork. Ken said Copley had identified two manufacturers who make a suitable product and that staff expect to have a resolution next month when the parties complete sign‑offs and the corrective work can be scheduled.
No formal action was taken; committee members asked to be kept informed as sign‑offs proceed.
