Board of Selectmen Minutes 2 November 2, 1998 APP-QaMEMS AND HEARINCr Tamps Vaccaro re& Fie Station Renovation: Fire Station Building Committee Chairman Jim Vaccaro was present to discuss the status of the Fire Station renovation project with members of the Board of Selectmen. The building committee has proposed an alternate plan to renovate the Fire& Rescue Station to met the essential and immediate needs of the department for the next ten to twelve years. The design is recommended to conform to budget constraints in the range of$2 million. Recent cost estimates obtained by Donham & Sweeney presented a two phased construction project for $3.7 million. Additional revisions modified by the architect reflected a revised budget of$2.7 million. After conducting due diligence, it is the consensus of the committee to recommend the Selectmen begin a new bid process for professional architectural and design services. Mr. Vaccaro indicated that there are sufficient funds remaining in the budget for schematic design and elevation services. Selectman Caffyn present: 6:37 p.m. It was noted that Town Counsel is presently reviewing this matter. The building committee recommended the Selectmen re-bid the project under the new scope of services to obtain a more competitive bid and to obtain renewed opinions for the renovation project proposal.
