Selectboard approves Chikill building repairs purchase order, board notes large contingency
Summary
The Selectboard approved a purchase order for exterior repairs to the Chikill/Shakehill building (siding, insulation, windows and doors) and discussed an elevated contingency that staff included in the request; vote 5-0.
The Selectboard voted 5-0 to approve a purchase order for building repairs at the Chikill/Shakehill property, authorizing removal of siding, full re-siding, new doors and windows, soffits and insulation work.
Chair explained the work and noted the paperwork shows a significant contingency amount included by the vendor; board members said the contractor expects to find additional issues once siding is removed and understood the contingency was intended to cover unknowns. The board approved the purchase order by unanimous vote.
Chair provided a short update that contractor crews are expected to begin next week to strip siding, with doors and windows arriving in roughly six weeks; the contractor hopes to complete the sequence by mid-August.
The board instructed staff to monitor progress and report updates as the work proceeds.
