2015.11.23 Council Agenda Item 11
Summary
Discussion about the need to enhance insulation in the attic of the Town Office.
A public comment period will not be included with this item.
ACTION: Council action is not anticipated.
Description
Some of the interior and much of the exterior of the Town Office has recently received substantive maintenance through two significant construction contracts. The scopes of work for these projects did not include insulation services in the attic. The attic is currently insulated but requires improvements to increase energy efficiency and reduce ice damming. The recent building envelope renovation project created a much “tighter” building around the horizontal exterior of the building however it exacerbated heat loss through the top of the building. In addition to insulation needs in the attic, we believe that there are retrofits necessary in the ground level crawl space. The scope of the insulation work is attached.
At this time, staff is recommending that we proceed with an RFP for insulation services and return to the Town Council on December 14 for an appropriation order that will authorize the used of capital improvement funds reserved for maintenance of the Town Office.
