Consultant outlines arena renovation timeline and $6.325 million project estimate
Summary
A presenter named Andrew told the board the arena addition and renovation design is underway and preliminarily estimated at $6,325,000, with construction bids planned after final design and an anticipated substantial completion in November.
Andrew presented the board with a design and procurement timeline for the arena renovation and addition, describing design milestones, a planned bidding schedule and the project budget.
He said schematic design is complete, design development is underway, construction documents are expected by late January/early February, and the town will post a four-week bid period with an anticipated March award. On schedule, he said substantial completion is expected in November, with final completion and punch-list work wrapping up before year-end. Andrew described four separate prime contracts (general/site/asbestos abatement, plumbing, mechanical, electrical) and four bid alternates: scoreboard replacement, audio system, arena lighting, and a full arena HVAC system including dehumidification.
On costs he stated, “So the total project budget is $6,325,000,” and explained that figure includes a $5,000,000 construction subtotal, $750,000 in soft costs and a recommended 10% contingency ($575,000). He noted asbestos abatement will be required in the concession room and that the main parking lot will be closed during a portion of construction, affecting the school and village traffic patterns. Board members discussed staging, town in-kind demolition work, and recommended monthly project meetings including an owner-architect-contractor (OAC) process during construction.
