• The building, especially the roof, is compromised and residual capacity is <br /> uncertain without further investigation. <br /> ■ Risk amplified during extreme weather (e.g., high winds, snow loads). <br /> ■ Pre-engineered designs lead to limited tolerance for stress or structural <br /> deviation-, more data(such as original construction drawings) is needed for <br /> a more complete evaluation. <br /> • The office and rail car bay buildings showed no significant issues. <br /> o Safety Concerns: <br /> ■ Assessment states the tipping and rail car bay are not at imminent risk of <br /> collapse but are not safe for occupancy, particularly during extreme <br /> weather. <br /> ■ Potential risk exists for personnel operating in the facility until <br /> deficiencies are addressed. <br /> Board and Stakeholder Questions <br /> • Occupancy and Current/Future Contracts: <br /> * peter McConarty highlighted that renovations are critical given the possibility of <br /> another two-year contract. <br /> * Catherine Laurent and Carl Cavossa questioned if structural repairs could or <br /> should precede operations and bid processes. <br /> • Nature and Scope of Repairs: <br /> It was questioned whether targeted repairs (purlins, beams, roof panels) would be <br /> sufficient, or if vertical columns and potential building replacement should be <br /> considered. <br /> Weston & Sampson clarified that Without design drawings, fully assessing repair <br /> potential remains difficult. <br /> • Building Inspector.l,nvolvement: <br /> 0 Discussion on the need to involve the local or state building inspector for <br /> jurisdiction and ultimate sign off. <br /> c, Tim Gordon was going to reach out to the state inspector(pending), with the plan <br /> to supply the Weston & Sampson report .lor review, <br /> * Consensus reached that comprehensive inspection, potentially involving both <br /> Weston & Sampson and building officials (with use of a lift), is urgent. <br /> * Local building material records are available and will be scanned and sent to <br /> Weston & Sampson. <br /> Repair Status Update <br /> Carl Cavossa reported: <br /> o Eight new purlins had been purchased and installed post-fire. <br /> o Other repairs, such as doors and paneling, are ongoing or completed, <br /> o Building remains operational; moisture intrusion is not deemed critical due to the <br /> nature of waste-handling operations, but structural integrity is the priority. <br /> o Ongoing ability to replace structural and non-structural members as needed. <br />
