Council approves $20,123.96 contract addendum for Shannock/Scenic Tower repairs
Summary
Council authorized an addendum of $20,123.96 to the Elevated Consulting contract for repairs at the Shannock (fire) tower, funded with federal congressional and ARPA grants, to address HUD and historical‑review delays and supply cost increases.
The council approved a $20,123.96 addendum to the original Elevated Consulting contract for work on the Shannock (fire) tower, citing HUD review timing and higher material costs as drivers of the change.
Town staff said the project has encountered delays tied to federal HUD review required for congressional funding and historical‑preservation requirements, and that federal congressional funds and ARPA monies will cover the addendum. The town administrator noted the consultant was initially the low bidder by a significant margin. "Considering that they're requesting an increase... given these delays, the cost of supplies, I'm surprised it's not higher," the administrator said.
Council made a motion to authorize the addendum and recorded a roll‑call vote in favor. Staff said the tower project remains on track for completion in early fall and that grant funding covers the additional cost.
