Littleton Advances Key Municipal Projects with Approved Funding and Updates
- Meeting Overview:
In a focused assembly, the Littleton Permanent Municipal Building Committee addressed developments in town infrastructure. The committee approved a substantial warrant for $793,000 and recommended change orders for the senior center, which is tracking slightly ahead of schedule. Additionally, a presentation on the King Street Building highlighted progress on key elements including technology and security, with a substantial completion date set for March 11th.
The senior center project took center stage as the committee reviewed its progress. Notably, the concrete slab on the deck had been successfully poured, and the commencement of exterior framing was imminent. This project was reported to be slightly ahead of its planned schedule, a positive sign for timely completion. The committee’s discussion on the senior center also included reviewing and recommending approval for change orders, though the specifics of these orders were not detailed in the meeting summary.
Regarding financial approvals, a member signed on to vote on a warrant totaling $793,000. The committee also voted on several line items pertaining to the King Street building, totaling $28,381.80, covering services from multiple vendors such as Vertex, LLB Architects, Cormor Builder, Professional Testing, and WSP US Building.
The King Street Building project was another focal point, with a presentation updating the committee on the schedule, budget, and progress on FF technology and security aspects. Noteworthy developments for this project included a formal notice to proceed, following the issuance of the building permit, and setting a substantial completion date for March 11th. This project’s advancements demonstrate the committee’s effective oversight and management of town construction projects.
Technology and security needs were also discussed, with the committee examining quotes for low voltage scope and security from vendors, including Nishoba. Despite the higher-than-anticipated security quotes, the committee is managing these costs to ensure that the town’s facilities are safe and up to date with current technology standards. This attention to detail is indicative of the committee’s comprehensive approach to project management.
The committee touched upon other ongoing concerns, with mention of the completion of landscaping work around a building to facilitate exterior repairs and painting. A construction schedule was outlined, with the completion of exterior scope anticipated by the end of September and interior work by mid-February. Additionally, it was reported that classic would soon start stripping the roof and installing new skylights, contributing to the overall improvement of town facilities.
An interesting anecdote from the meeting included the resolution of a piano left on-site, which was dealt with by arranging offsite storage. This detail, while minor in the context of large-scale construction projects, highlights the committee’s attention to community properties and the importance placed on preserving town assets.
Concerns over the police station were also raised, particularly regarding moisture-related issues. The committee discussed obtaining a scan and cause analysis to address these concerns.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and a roll call vote, signaling the end of a session that saw progress and proactive planning for Littleton’s municipal buildings.
