Commission presses Save More to finish Bethel High School HVAC punch list; approves related invoices
Summary
The Public Site and Building Commission said Save More expects to finish remaining Bethel High School HVAC items within days and approved consultant and contractor invoices while discussing retainage and contingency options if work is not completed.
The Public Site and Building Commission on July 22 pressed contractor Save More to finish outstanding punch‑list work at Bethel High School and approved three invoices related to the project.
Chair (speaker 2) opened the discussion by reporting recent correspondence and a contractor promise: "they're gonna try to finish up either by the end of this week, the beginning of next week," and staff said Save More had 13 remaining punch‑list items, mostly small repairs and missing insulation.
Engineering staff said the outstanding items include insulating piping, installing pressure gauges and thermometers, labeling piping, fixing condensate piping insulation and replacing a difficult access‑door latch. Staff estimated the remaining construction work to be a few thousand dollars and noted the project retains a larger balance held as retainage.
The commission agreed to a short Tuesday check‑in call to confirm whether Save More had completed the promised work; if not, staff noted the town attorney is prepared to send a letter and staff may consider using retainage or contracting another firm to finish the work.
Finance staff uploaded an updated budget showing roughly $82,000 remaining in the project budget and flagged small outstanding consultant invoices that could be paid from that balance if appropriate. The committee discussed reimbursing consultants for continued oversight to close out the project.
During the meeting the commission approved SES invoice #6036 for $3,936.50 and two Save More invoices — #18822 for $4,987.50 and #19084 for $2,942.25 — by voice vote.
