WEST MANSFIELD FIRE iSTATION:
Reviewed costs for the West Mansfield Fire Station. Fill and compaction should be part
of the contractors cost. S & H gave a figure of $660,000 to do the West Mansfield
Station.
To complete the station, including site preparation, we're looking at a cost of $770,000.
A change from gas to diesel fuel on the generator will be reviewed.
PARK ROW SCHOOL:
The Committee reviewed the items that were recommendation for reduction in the project.
Further investigation added an additional $25,000 in plumbing and IIVAC modifications.
The bids have been reviewed with the apparent low bidder.
Reviewed spread sheet of projections developed for municipal projects. We must go out
to bid again on the Police Station. The difference on West Mansfield Station if the site
work that amounts to $140,000.
Chairman Young, feels that the bids are good and were achieved through a competitive
market. An action plan was presented and will be developed. Communications with
FINCOM, and Selectmen and the financial staff will keep all informed.
An opinion of Town Counsel will be sought on the allocations of funds from the sale of
the Paine School.
Chief O'Neill expressed his concern over the costs and reductions in the Police Station.
The problems with the project costs were discussed with the Chairman of the Finance
_ Committee.
MBC -Minutes - 11-21-95 2
Concerns were expressed that an adverse affect would be felt if we did not move forward
on West Mansfield. Design efficiencies will be reviewed. We can execute the contracts
with the emergency funds transfer. We need to work with the low bidder because he
knows where his budget dollars are. We need to wait until the 20 day appeal period has
expired for the ZBA variance.
The Town Manager asked what is the cost of a new West Mansfield Fire Station with only
two bays, and what is the cost of going out to bid. The Town Manager also asked what it
would cost to redesign the Fire Station. Chief Sliney brought up the health issues
involved with the Central Fire Station.
The next meeting was scheduled for 11-28-95 at Mansfield High School.
