Summary
The Middlefield Public Safety and Firehouse Building Committee on Feb. 18 approved multiple payables and change events for the new firehouse, including a $156,202 building-permit credit and $17,500 in additional commissioning services; members also reviewed schedule, safety and a topping-off ceremony plan.
Kevin Boyle, vice-chairman of the Middlefield Public Safety and Firehouse Building Committee, presided over the Feb. 18 meeting at 7:03 p.m. The committee approved several payables and technical change orders related to the ongoing firehouse construction project and reviewed schedule and commissioning work.
The most significant financial action was approval of change event #009, a building-permit credit from PDS totaling $156,202, approved after committee discussion. The committee also approved an IES invoice for $17,500 to cover additional commissioning services for plumbing, fire protection and electrical systems, and a $192.50 invoice for FBC administrative services to Amity French-Wilson. Committee members approved change event #0011-1 to split the project into two phases for $40,500 and change event #0012-1 to add a grease trap for $8,521.26. All motions were recorded as "Motion Carried."
Members said the design/build team schedule and work-underway were reviewed in detail; the commissioning agent's items were discussed, and pay applications and change order variables and costs were analyzed by those present. Committee members noted some parking issues at the construction site and reviewed safety protocols. The group also discussed holding a topping-off ceremony when the final beam is placed and agreed to post progress updates and photos on the Fire Company's Facebook page.
