Dunstable Board Approves Key Change Orders for Union Building Roof Repairs
- Meeting Overview:
During the recent Dunstable Board of Selectmen meeting, the board approved two crucial change orders for the Union Building project, focusing on significant roof repairs. The first order, valued at $3,193.32, addresses the replacement of rotted wood sheathing beneath the roof. The second order, amounting to $25,500, involves the replacement of additional slate shingles identified as needing replacement due to their condition. Both orders were previously reviewed by the Union Building Committee and GANAP.
Discussion centered around the specifics of the roof repairs. Concerns were raised about the visual identification of shingles needing replacement, with some board members expressing the need for further evidence to justify the replacements. Nevertheless, the urgency to maintain the repair schedule led to the approval, with assurances that the existing slate tiles would be judiciously reused where possible.
Additionally, the board decided to streamline the project management process by granting the town administrator authority to approve future change orders under $10,000 without prior board review, provided they are supported by GANAP’s recommendations. This change aims to expedite minor project adjustments and prevent unnecessary delays.
