reaching out to vendors that unfortunately,we can't give an immediate price here based on the <br /> inspection on 10/21/25. <br /> Qiang Shen stated that there will be the other associated costs like electrical for the pre engineer <br /> building.Catherine Laurent then asked to confirm if they are talking about replacing the entire building. <br /> Which Qiang Shen did confirm. Lee Kaska then stated that replacing the building was one option. <br /> Peter McConarty expressed concern regarding a new building stating that the building was erected in <br /> 1988, 2025.The building codes have changed quite a lot for the operations that it's going to be used on <br /> just the.A rough draft in his head because they have done some in Falmouth, in his opinion would be <br /> that it will cost more than replacing a few of the beams. Lee Kaska agreed with McConarty stating that <br /> to give a detailed estimate on the repair will just take a little bit more time and digging. Lee Kaska said <br /> he fully recognizes that this is an older building that would certainly need some upgrades if it were to be <br /> demoed and replaced. McConarty then asked a follow up question to Lee asking if the building is <br /> operable. Lee responded by saying he'll work to get an answer on that. Lee also states that the major <br /> risk is a snowstorm, but it has enough structural degradation that it's definitely a cause for concern. <br /> Paul Tilton asked if DEP would give them a temporary permit to operate as the roof is being repaired. <br /> Lee Kaska said he would look into this as well. <br /> Tim Gordon asked what extent should the board and the landowner be concerned about the risk to the <br /> roof?Qiang Shen replied saying again that it's hard to predict but suggests if there's a major snowstorm, <br /> to close the facility.Catherine Laurent then asked if the concern is with the load, not necessarily high <br /> winds or other weather conditions. Qiang Shen replied saying right now he cannot predict what the <br /> extent of the damage is. <br /> e. Estimate and Timeline <br /> ® Ballpark cost estimate for full repairs/replacement cannot be provided now, pending further <br /> investigation and shop drawings. <br /> • Timeline for a full repair potentially exceeds December 30th; may extend into 2026. <br /> f.Code/Permit Considerations <br /> ® Any replacement would need to meet updated (post-1988) building codes, increasing costs and <br /> complexity. <br /> ® Discussion on whether the facility can legally operate without a roof—general consensus is a <br /> roof is required for current operation by permit. <br /> ® Question raised about operating under temporary permit during repairs—DEP to be consulted. <br /> g. Likelihood and Source of Damage <br /> Paul Tilton then asked is the need to replace the roof based upon normal wear and tear or the damage <br /> in the fire or both.To which Lee Kaska referred to Qiang Shen who said it was mostly from the fire. Lee <br /> Kaska followed this by saying just based on the evidence from all the soot,the general location of this, <br /> where we see the worst of the damage,which seems to be directly over, a bay in the vicinity of all those <br />
