Special meeting
Present: Toby Proctor, Eric Brown, Bill Kennedy, Mark Migliaccio, Donna Nolan, Superintendent of Schools Cheri Burke, BOE Director of Facilities Shannon Sullivan, Town Manager Mike Walsh.
Update on the high school roof
Sullivan reported no further leak issues. White flashing has been installed over the black flashing, the ladder/wall work has been completed on a change order totaling $30,000, and the contractor is creating a to-do list for the BOE to review. Kennedy asked if the wall and ceiling tile damage caused by leaks has been satisfactorily addressed and Sullivan said it had been, at no additional charge. Progress reports will continue as Burke works to complete this project.
Update on middle school boiler quote
Walsh will discuss this quote at the next selectmen’s meeting along with instructions to the committee overseeing the project. Selectmen will explain the committee’s charge before making appointments. He said that three quotes for the job have been submitted, and low bidder Blake Thermal at $424,000 has been awarded the job. Once a contract is signed and boilers and parts ordered and delivered, the job should be completed in less than a month, ideally during the coming summer. The three refrigerator-size Cleaver Brooks boilers will run on natural gas with an option to switch to oil. This project does not qualify for state funding.
