Committee approves routine invoices, including Taipei professional services and Vertex OPM fees
Summary
The committee unanimously approved a set of invoices: Vertex OPM $35,000; Taipei professional services $358,947.22 (includes $18,000 geotechnical fee); planning‑board review $5,835.47; solar panel termination fee $5,736.56; Fontaine general-contractor $30,858.00.
At the June 17 meeting the Town of Millis School Building Committee approved several contractor and consultant invoices for work related to the school project.
Motions carried unanimously to pay: - Vertex (owner’s project manager) OPM invoice: $35,000. - Taipei professional services invoice for May: $358,947.22, which includes an $18,000 consultant fee for geotechnical core review. - Planning‑board review consultant fee: $5,835.47. - Solar panel termination fee (to remove certain panels from the existing school roof to avoid a guardrail requirement): $5,736.56. - Fontaine (general contractor) invoice for May: $30,858.00.
Where recorded, motions were made, seconded and approved by unanimous voice or roll-call votes. Committee members discussed the solar-panel termination fee as an administrative payment tied to earlier rooftop panel placement decisions: removing panels that sat too close to the roof edge avoids a more expensive guardrail requirement but triggers an agreed termination charge.
The committee then deferred approval of May 20 meeting minutes because it lacked a quorum to verify and moved to adjourn.
