Council OKs exterior pre‑construction inspections for homes near school sites
Summary
Falvey Associates was awarded pre-construction home inspection and survey work (base $25,354) for homes within 300 feet of the Frenchtown, Hannaford and high‑school construction limits; the program includes photo/video baseline documentation and on‑call reinspections tied to vibration monitoring.
The council approved Falvey Associates to conduct pre‑construction home inspection surveys for properties within a 300‑foot radius of the school construction areas, with a base contract of $25,354 and potential added services depending on the number of homes and any re‑inspection needs. The consultant team said sign‑ups from residents who attended prior outreach meetings have already been scheduled and that certified‑mail notifications to abutters would go out the next day.
Project staff explained that video and photo documentation of exterior (and optionally interior) conditions will establish baselines; the construction manager will run on‑site vibration monitors and the consultant will return for re‑inspection if vibration thresholds are exceeded or concerns are reported. The council voted unanimously to award the contract and stressed timely communication with affected homeowners.
