​Draft-Pittsfield Town Hall Building Committee Meeting Minutes
 November 23, 2020-5PM
 
 Agenda
 
Agenda Modifications: 
 
Minutes Approval:  November 9, 2020 Meeting Minutes
 
Old Business:
  1. Update on design plans
  2. Review project bids
 
New Business:
  1. Next Steps
 
Next Meeting Date:   December 7, 2020
 
Adjournment:
 
 
Call to order: Herb Kuendig called the meeting to order at 5:13pm with Carl Oertel, Glenn Reinauer and Mike Moran in attendance. Mike seconded. All in favor
 
Minutes Approval:  Carl moved that the minutes from the November 9, 2020 meeting be approved.  Mike seconded. All in favor.
 
Old Business:
1.  Update on design plans:  Herb explained that because the initial concrete cutting and footing installation bids came in high, the     committee hired David McKenzie ($150) to cut test holes in the slab to determine whether the soil below would support smaller sized footings. Herb and Glenn dug down 18 inches and found sandy, bony gravel. Herb relayed information to structural engineer Kevin Smith of Marble Engineering and asked if the footings could be reduced. Kevin said a deeper geotechnical study using a drill rig would have to be conducted for him to determine the bearing capacity of the soil and potentially change the footings. The committee agreed the cost of such a study would be too prohibitive.
2.  Review project bids: Herb distributed a spread sheet of bids received from at least four contractors on the five sub-projects of phase one. Herb said he was waiting on two other bids on the footing rebar and installation. Committee members reviewed and agreed that hiring different contractors for different jobs would be cheaper than hiring one contractor for the entire job, but would require much more coordination. Committee members had some questions about individual charges which Herb said he would get clarification on from the contractors.  
New Business:
  1. Next Steps-Herb said once he received the new bids, the bid spreadsheet would be sent out to all committee members and a special meeting called if necessary to award bids. 
 
Adjournment:  there being no further business, Herb adjourned the meeting at 5:45pm, Carl seconded. All in favor

  1. Final  design plans-Herb said he has arranged to pick up three copies of the final design plans that will be stamped for submission with the permit. 
  2. Update Steel bids-members reviewed the bid received from Reed and Sons with a total estimate of $57,639 which included cutting the concrete slab and excavation for the footings, pouring the concrete for the footing and installation of rebar and pouring the concrete to bring it level with the floor, cutting an access hole in the building installing all steel beams and columns, repair hole in building and purchase of steel. 
  3. Update Project list-Members suggested ways to reduce costs and agreed to contact other concrete cutters and other steel installers for estimates. Glenn suggested finding out what the subsoil is under the slab to see if the footings could be made smaller.
