Thompson Hill Cemetery proposal rises to $14,400; CPC hears project updates and invoice issue
Loading...
Summary
The Town of Lakeville CPC reviewed a Thompson Hill Cemetery repair proposal increased to $14,400 to allow winter-damage contingencies, received updates on John Palm Park plans, and resolved a museum cupola invoice discrepancy after the vendor reissued a $20,000 bill.
Committee members reviewed several project updates at their Feb. 19 meeting. The Thompson Hill Cemetery repair proposal, originally budgeted at $10,000, was updated to $14,400 to allow for potential additional damage over winter; members noted historically unused CPC project funds roll over and will support completion if needed.
John Palm Park submitted draft plans and is undergoing customary reviews: the Conservation Commission and Board of Health must sign off (a tight tank rather than a conventional septic system was identified because of wet conditions), and the fire chief must approve vehicle-turnaround and parking arrangements. The presenter expected final stamped plans and a March update to the committee.
Separately, the museum cupola invoice presented a billing discrepancy. The contractor invoiced $22,000 although the CPC had approved $20,000; staff contacted the vendor and obtained a reissued invoice for $20,000 and completed payment. The committee discussed the need to document supplemental funding sources when amounts exceed approvals.
Members will track these projects and report status at upcoming meetings.
