Committee review shows $680,311 credit against original fire-protection budget
Summary
Nexus presented a line-item breakdown of bids and allowances totaling $1,719,688.52 and reported this as a $680,311.48 credit against the district's original $2.4 million fire-protection budget; a $200,000 electrical contingency remains for a potential pump.
During the Buildings and Grounds meeting, Nexus presented a detailed breakdown of bids and allowances for the fire-protection work. Line items recorded in the minutes include the original fire protection bid at $850,378.52; a Phase 2 bid for remaining coverage at $765,310.00; pipe painting allowance $17,000; ACT ceiling repair allowance $12,000; fire pump allowance $50,000; and stand pipe allowance $25,000. Nexus summed those items to $1,719,688.52 and presented that as a $680,311.48 credit against the $2,400,000 budget originally held for fire protection (this figure excludes a separate $200,000 electrical contingency for a pump, should one be required).
The committee voted to proceed with the work. Nexus will undertake a water-flow test with the Village of Waterford DPW to determine whether the fire pump (and the associated $200,000 contingency) is necessary; the result will affect final contracting and budget allocations.
