Committee recommends $2.61 million WT Rich amendment for mass-timber early work
Summary
The building committee recommended an amendment to WT Rich for mass-timber design-assist and early site enabling work worth $2,613,241; Joel Wolk moved the recommendation and Joe Buckley seconded, and the recommendation passed by roll call.
The Stoughton School Building Committee on Feb. 26 recommended an amendment to WT Rich for early enabling and mass-timber design-assist work valued at $2,613,241. Joel Wolk moved for the recommendation and Joe Buckley seconded; after brief clarification about the package (mainly clearing and early site work, not the full site work package) the committee recorded an affirmative roll-call recommendation.
Joel Wolk said the value in WT Rich's letter differed from the amendment request and confirmed with staff that the correct amount for amendment #1 is $2,613,241. Project staff explained the amendment covers primarily the early clearing/enablement package and associated allowances, not the full site-package that will follow later.
Committee members asked that comments they submitted (Joel referenced notes exchanged with WT Rich on Feb. 9) were addressed; Wolk said he was satisfied with the responses. The recommendation will be forwarded through the committee’s normal channels for authorization to execute the amendment.
The motion was approved in a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting transcript; the transcript records 'Aye' responses from members during the roll call. The committee also discussed next procurement steps for the early trade packages and noted that mass-timber design assist is being procured early to coordinate wood-to-steel and wood-to-concrete interfaces.
The committee adjourned after a final round of community-outreach and scheduling items.
