2015.12.14 Council Agenda Item 08
Summary
Order to approve a supplemental appropriation from unassigned fund balance in the amount of $70,000 to enhance insulation in the attic of the Town Office.
A public comment period will be included with this item (3 minutes).
ACTION: Council action is 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.
Staff hired a professional to evaluate the insulation in the attic and provide a scope for the project. The most recent scope of the insulation work is attached.
The Town issued an RFP and received three bids. Initial staff review indicates that we will be able to complete the project for $70,000, which includes funds for both owners' representation services and contingency.
