Summary
The board approved multiple change orders and credits related to the new Town Hall/high school project, including design credits, lighting and AV adjustments, a $37,145 credit and a $15,588 added pad cost for picnic table and dumpster pads; staff said picnic tables will be placed on the north side of the gym.
The Town of Farmington board heard a construction update and approved multiple contractor change orders and credits tied to the town hall/high school project.
Staff member (S2) told the board the team applied a $5,837 credit for selected design items (wall paneling, plumbing accessories and some flooring), an $8,206 cost for power/data and HVAC changes in a converted Room 119 office, $5,707.90 for conference room lighting changes, and $1,437.04 for AV equipment relocations. S2 also reported PCO #1 generated a $37,145 credit from cost-saving items; PCO #2 added $15,588 for site pads and picnic table installations, and a new dumpster pad outside the parking perimeter.
When asked where the picnic tables would be located, S2 said, “On the north side of the gym” and noted staff use the tables daily. Staff said some funds from recent credits were reallocated to PCOs that added necessary pads and furnishings.
The board proceeded with a voice vote to move forward with the listed change orders and invoice approvals as presented (record shows the board approved the listed items by voice). The minutes did not record individual member vote tallies or the names of motion makers and seconders for these items.
Staff also reported there remain open punch-list items and that a roofer meeting was scheduled after the session to address remaining work. Staff asked a subset of the core project team (named informally in the meeting) to continue coordinating punch-list clean-up.
