Contractor proposes $10,000 air-exchange system; architect recommends monitor and dehumidifier as bid alternates
Summary
Contractor Dustin Miller recommended a roughly $10,000 air exchange system to prevent moisture in the new vault; architect Joe Greene recommended at minimum a moisture-detection monitor and provision of a dehumidifier for the first two years. The items will be included as add alternates in the bid.
Contractor Dustin Miller told the Selectboard and project team that an air exchange system would help prevent moisture problems in the new vault and addition, and estimated the system would cost about $10,000. The minutes record that the estimate was presented as a contractor recommendation rather than a finalized decision.
Joe Greene of Joseph Architects, appearing by phone, recommended a more conservative minimum approach: install a moisture-detection monitor and provide a dehumidifier for the first two years. The minutes state the architect and contractors agreed these options should be written as add alternates in the bid documents rather than included in the base scope.
