Summary
The Middlefield Public Safety and Firehouse Building Committee on March 18 approved payment to IGS, several change events including a pipe-spec substitution and a screen wall allowance, and a $175 administrative invoice while noting construction schedule challenges.
The Middlefield Public Safety and Firehouse Building Committee voted March 18 to approve contractor payments and several change events tied to the town's firehouse construction project, and members discussed schedule challenges with the design-build team.
Paul Pizzo, chairman of the Middlefield Public Safety and Firehouse Building Committee, opened the meeting at 7:05 p.m. and led routine business including agenda and minutes approval. The committee then reviewed construction progress and pay applications.
Committee members approved payment to IGS for Invoice #21334 ($2,810.13) and Invoice #21335 ($750.00), for a combined total of $3,560.13. Kevin Boyle made the motion to approve the payment; Steven Tyc seconded and the motion carried.
