Summary

Town staff reported phase 1 (abatement and demolition) is complete and the public safety complex is tracking within its GMP; council authorized a $296,861.52 requisition that includes construction and soft costs.

Project representative Inga (S15) updated the council on the North Smithfield public safety complex on July 20, saying the project is phased and that phase 1 (abatement and demolition) is complete. "We are about 50 to 60% complete," Inga said, and staff reported operations have moved into temporary spaces so the department can remain functional during construction.

Town staff presented a financial memorandum and requested authorization to pay $296,861.52, comprised of $248,001.52 for Parasol construction work and $48,750 for soft costs (AE/OPM/miscellaneous). A councilor moved to approve the payment and the motion carried by roll call. Staff also reported there are pending and routine change-order processes and that some future items (FF&E and furniture) will be procured as separate contracts.

Administrators said the project is currently within the Guaranteed Maximum Price and that they are monitoring potential change orders; the construction manager-at-risk approach is being used to buy out trades and track savings across line items. The council asked staff to post project updates and links on the town website so residents can follow progress.
