Town confirms designer scope, fee cap of $225,000 for first two phases of Town Hall renovation
Summary
The committee heard that funding is available for schematic design and design development (Phases I–II) and that the selected architect will deliver 50% construction documents and cost estimates; the fee for these phases was capped at $225,000 and construction funding is expected to be sought at next spring's Town Meeting.
Dan Pallota, Owner's Project Manager with P3, told the committee the Town has funding for the first two phases of the Town Hall renovation—designer selection/schematic design and design development—and that the chosen architect will be asked to provide 50% construction documents and cost estimates as part of Phases I and II. He stated that "the fee for Phase I and II is not to exceed $225,000."
Mr. Pallota also said the anticipated timeline calls for seeking voter approval for construction funding at a Town Meeting next spring. The committee did not take any formal budgetary votes at the June 9 meeting; its actions were limited to organizing, evaluating proposals, and scheduling interviews. Final selection and any construction funding decisions will occur after interviews and subsequent committee recommendation.
