Select Board approves library change orders after hearing contractor issues with subfloor and septic
Summary
Library building committee has approved change orders to address unexpected subfloor replacement, plumbing/septic and structural header work; board recorded a motion and voted to approve moving the finance order forward (amount read aloud during the meeting).
The board discussed a package of change orders related to the Middletown Springs library renovation and heard a detailed account of unanticipated construction work. A contractor or library representative described tearing out existing carpet because the subfloor was unsuitable, replacing plumbing under the slab, and adding a new header to support a mezzanine area; these changes were presented as necessary to preserve warranties and ensure structural safety.
After the scope was explained, the board reviewed a finance order to record the change and moved to approve it. The chair asked for discussion, a motion was made and seconded, and members voted in the affirmative to approve the order to move the change orders forward for payment processing.
