Selectboard signs off on town‑office change orders and MERP amendment clarifying soft‑cost reimbursement
Summary
The board authorized multiple closeout change orders for the town office renovation (totaling roughly $27,817) and approved an amended MERP agreement to allow eligible soft‑cost reimbursement for future eligible work (solar, insulation, etc.).
Board members reviewed a set of change orders for the town office renovation project and authorized the town administrator to execute them. The specific change orders approved were: remove concrete steps ($2,269), porch ceiling replacement for new lighting ($589), replace the well water line ($805), additional miscellaneous site work ($24,137) and a solar size addition ($626). The Selectboard moved and approved authorization for the administrator to sign necessary documents to implement these changes.
Separately, the board approved an amended MERP (Municipal Energy Resiliency Program / similar civil-energy resiliency amendment) agreement clarifying that certain soft costs incurred on eligible projects may be reimbursable going forward. The administrator was authorized to sign the amendment so future eligible work on the town office renovation and solar additions can be reimbursed where permitted under program rules.
