Selectboard approves $9,115 structural investigation for Daniels Academy roof supports; reviews project-manager bids
Summary
The board approved a $9,115 contract with Morin Construction for step-one investigation of structural supports at Daniels Academy (Town Hall) and received three project-manager bids including a fixed-price bid of $109,910 from North Point Construction Management and an hourly bid from Bracken Consulting.
The Selectboard on June 22 approved a $9,115 contract with Morin Construction to perform step-one investigation of wall and support structure at the Daniels Academy (Town Hall) to determine whether additional remediation is required. The contract divides work into Step 1 (investigation, $9,115) and Step 2 (permanent roof support work, $19,820). Board members discussed the risk that opening floors or ceilings during later renovations could reveal larger issues but voted 5-0 to proceed with the Step 1 investigation.
Separately, the board received three bids to serve as project manager for the Town Hall work: North Point Construction Management of Hudson ($109,910 fixed-price), Bracken Consulting Group LLC of Hudson (John Schofield; $140 per hour), and ECG (materials provided on a thumb drive; rate not listed in minutes). John Schofield of Bracken Consulting attended and summarized his 17 years of construction experience. The board will review the bids and report back before selecting a manager.
The minutes record the board’s intent to move forward on the immediate structural investigation and to consider longer-term costs and project management options at a later meeting.
