Committee flags structural and HVAC questions in Graves Builders MERP bid
Summary
Committee members said Graves Builders' proposal raised structural concerns on the Town Office second floor, unclear scope on window work and questions about whether two separate heat-pump systems are proposed; the chair said she will follow up with the bidder.
During its review of MERP proposals, committee members flagged multiple technical questions about Graves Builders' submission, including possible structural problems on the second floor and whether the proposal included second-floor window work. The minutes record that the proposal "expressed concerned about structural integrity of the second floor and does not include second floor work in the proposal."
Members also sought clarification on HVAC scope: the Graves submission appears to propose two separate heat-pump systems — one for the town office and one for the post office — and the committee asked whether a single system could serve both units. The minutes further note questions about insulation between floors and whether the proposal would remove existing insulation. Chair Susan Culp told the committee she would pursue those clarifications: "Susan will follow up with Graves on the above 3 items."
