Bloomfield library committee approves door hardware and bond adjustments, signs off on invoices
Summary
The Library Building Committee approved PCO 173 (door hardware modifications) and PCO 182 (a $1,024 bond adjustment for Custom Electric), and accepted two invoices from Vanzel/Vanzelm; members also reviewed several other PCOs and asked staff to finalize actuals.
The Bloomfield Library Building Committee approved several construction-related items Thursday, voting by voice to clear door hardware modifications and a small bond adjustment and to accept two professional invoices.
PCO 173, covering door-hardware modifications required for electric compatibility, was approved after committee discussion about duplicative charges and a contractor-negotiated reduction. A committee member asked for an explanation of a roughly $700 repaint line item; staff said the scope included repairs and multiple coats, and that the final amount would be charged to the construction manager contingency. After discussion, the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
The committee also approved PCO 182, a bond adjustment for the electrical subcontractor Custom Electric, for $1,024. Staff explained that bond adjustments reflect contract-value changes late in a project and are typically handled near project closeout when supporting documentation arrives. The PCO was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Members approved two invoices from Vanzel/Vanzelm: a services invoice through Feb. 28 for about $9,720 and a services invoice through May 2, 2026 for $45,360. Staff noted those invoices close the 2023 purchase order but that additional work related to RTU sequencing and resequencing will require an extra order (an increase to the purchase order).
Other PCOs reviewed included PCO 147 (added humidity sensor, $5,000), PCO 183 (ventilation added in the AV room, $2,500) and PCO 187 (radiant-panel piping modification, $5,000). Staff said the mechanical engineer agreed to cover half the cost for the radiant-panel work and that they were finalizing actuals.
The committee’s votes were conducted by voice; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes. The committee directed staff to provide final cost numbers and to ensure change-order costs are not billed twice.
