Building Committee Minutes
7:00 PM April 22, 2010
Stoddard Town Hall
Members present: Penny Betz, Sandy Holland, Harry Power, Amy Rokoszak, David Vaillancourt and Lou GrandPré
Absent: Dick Briere, P.J. Lamothe, Alan Rumrill
Amy Rokoszak called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM.
Penny Betz asked that we set meeting dates for the month of May before getting into other business. Following discussion, including the possibility that Town Meeting could be recessed from the 18th over to the 20th, it was decided that we would next meet on May 13th and 27th. Elections will have been held on the 11th, so the Committee will be aware then of the 2010 – 2011 board composition.
Amy provided copies of the Meridien proposals to accomplish site engineering for the Cahill property. The proposal contains two options: Option 1 for Mapping Compilation only, for a total not to exceed (NTE) cost of $1,000; Option 2 for developing the Concept from Accurate Field Data Tied to Existing Boundary, for a total NTE cost of $8,500. Option 2 contains a number of exclusions, such as environmental, groundwater, archeological or habitat studies, application and submission fees, ALTA survey requirements, meetings, etc, which could add significantly to the cost.
Lou GrandPré said that he had walked the property the week prior with Carl Hagstrom, Licensed Septic Designer and Certified Soils Scientist, and David Vaillancourt, and they said they could do it all for $12,500 with David’s backhoe. Sandy Holland is to check with CHA, Inc. to get a ballpark price from them for the same services quoted by Meridien.
Pricing of Rick Monahon’s plan for the Gould House was discussed again. Although it did include a climate controlled basement and a more constructed second floor than Baybutt’s plan, the cost was $474,000. That price includes construction costs of $90/SF for basement and $110/SF for main and second floors (each calculated at 1,400 SF), plus an additional $40,000 for landscaping.
Sandy moved to adjourn, seconded by Harry Power. The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
