Select Board approves expanded town hall scope and awards $25,084 basement insulation bid
Summary
The board agreed to reallocate $90,000 of previously held Merck/MURP funds toward comprehensive thermal‑envelope work for the town hall, increased WRC project management soft costs by $4,000, and accepted a $25,084.25 bid from Vermont Foam Insulation for basement insulation.
Presenters explained that additional scope for the town hall renovation — primarily thermal‑envelope work such as insulation, air sealing and attic hatches — will use $90,000 previously set aside and is consistent with energy audit recommendations. They requested a modest increase in the WRC project management soft‑cost allocation of $4,000 to cover expanded oversight.
A motion to approve the amended scope and the WRC allocation passed. On related work, the town's renovation committee recommended Vermont Foam Insulation for the basement insulation package; the board moved to accept the bid and authorized the town administrator to execute the contract at an estimated cost of $25,084.25. "We move to accept the proposal for Vermont Foam Insulation to provide services relating to basement insulation of the town hall estimated to cost $25,084.25," the motion recorded in the minutes read.
Why it matters: The changes increase the project's scope toward weatherization and energy efficiency and lock in a contractor and funds for basement encapsulation that are expected to reduce long‑term heating and moisture costs.
