Call to order and Roll Call:
Tom Riley, Chair called the January 14, 2008 meeting to order at 7:02pm with Everett Kittredge, Kevin McKenna, Phil LaMoreaux, Eileen Kelly, and Andrew Pinard, Selectman present. Also present were: Jim Pickman, NAC Subcommittee, Dawn Rich Communications, Cheryl Behr, Administrator.
Tom Riley advised the meeting tonight is to finish up the unfinished business of January 10, 2008, including the references for the contractors and the road work.
Tom Riley read into the minutes a note to the board from Janet Sillars as well as his reply to her. Letters are on file.
Andrew Pinard advised he has called several references from Horne Construction and discussed what was found on four different companies. Basic opinion was very positive.
Everett Kittredge advised that CMGC gave a new up-date today. It was advised the committee misunderstood their proposal previously, as their build cost actually does include the site work. At this time, it was decided that references will be checked on CMGC, and Andrew Pinard, Selectman volunteered to do it. Andrew Pinard, Selectman advised Bindy Glennie had not received the list of references for the road until yesterday, and had to leave this morning. Everett Kittredge suggested that Horne Construction and CMGC should be compared line by line for scope of each. Also, it was recommended by Everett Kittredge to not choose either one at this time.
Hiltz Construction was asked if they would consider reducing their bid by $10,000.00 and the reply was they feel their costs were already competitive, but would reduce it by $5,000.00.
Motion was made by Everett Kittredge to advise the Selectmen that the committee believes there are two qualified construction companies but do not wish to finalize one at this time, as the reference analysis is in process. Phil LaMoreaux seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
Motion was made by Kevin McKenna to advise the Selectmen that the recommended dollar amount is $201,244.00 for the road, and if the Site Work is also done, that would be reduced by $5,000.00. Phil LaMoreaux seconded. Motion carried 5-0
Discussion ensued concerning the motion made by Everett Kittredge on January 10, 2008 regarding Warrant Articles recommended for the Selectmen.
Motion was made by Everett Kittredge to suggest to the Selectmen a separate Warrant Article be prepared for Contract Services. Seconded by Kevin McKenna. Motion carried 5-0.
