School roof and HVAC updates
At a glance
Quick context to catch up fast.
The Permanent Municipal Building Committee received project updates for Juliet W. Long, Gales Ferry, and the Board of Education central office. The committee approved several consultant and contractor invoices (STV, Shipman & Goodwin, Catalyst Commissioning Group, Colliers) so work and testing can continue, tabled two Gold Seal pay applications pending updated paperwork, and directed staff to obtain three quotes to retorque snow guards to meet warranty requirements. The bonding company agreed to complete remaining Gales Ferry roof/solar punch list items subject to town approval of contractors, and the JWL HVAC and solar net-billing steps are nearing completion.
