Littleton Committee Approves Significant Building Expenses

The Littleton Permanent Municipal Building Committee recently approved a substantial warrant of $74,882.39 for various municipal construction projects, highlighting the ongoing development within the town. The meeting, chaired by a substitute as Steve was absent, saw discussions on the costs associated with several renovation and construction initiatives, including the senior center and Shaker Lane School projects.

Central to the committee’s approval was the largest expense by Commodore Builders, totaling $653,000 for construction services rendered in April. This significant amount covered a range of construction activities such as general conditions, work by the site contractor, foundation walls, rebar, and the mobilization of electricians and plumbers, among other subcontractor efforts. The committee scrutinized these expenses, seeking clarification on the various charges listed.

Further costs included two separate payments to Vertex for the 36 King Street renovation, amounting to $4,988.75 and $3,347.75, respectively. LLB Architects charged for services related to the same property and the design development for the senior center, with invoices listed at $14.50, $26.35, and $17,879.786. Additionally, there was an expenditure of $2,327 attributed to construction administration for the senior center. Professional Services Inc. also had a charge of $8,869 for third-party testing for the senior center project.

The committee also delved into the progress of the Senior Center, noting that the foundation and interior spread footings were completed, and the elevator hoistway was under construction. The site contractor had finished exporting soils from the site and was gearing up for the imminent steel delivery. Moreover, there was mention of a monthly report to be provided at the next meeting, which would offer further insights into the project’s progression.

The Shaker Lane School feasibility study was another point of focus. The committee reported that a kickoff meeting with Studio G and the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) was imminent. Studio G was in the final stages of contract negotiations, signaling the project’s advancement towards the signing of the contracts.

Additionally, updates on the High School roof were provided, with a final punch list from Rockwell and warranty documents pending. It was mentioned that Rich Gorand, who had a role in the process, was on vacation.

The meeting also addressed the installation of underground utilities, such as electrical conduits and plumbing, which had been inspected and backfilled. A recent water tie-in was completed, and there was excitement about a topping off ceremony for the final beam of the building. The committee discussed potential change orders concerning building information modeling and explored the possibility of receiving credits for adjustments to the project. These adjustments included a more sophisticated level five finish on the walls and the deletion of the dry system for the exterior.

The Indian Hill Arts Building project was also a subject of discussion, with the committee approving the project to proceed. The anticipated timeline for the contractor to mobilize was slated for the next three to four weeks.

Throughout the session, the committee members sought clarification on various expenses and updates on the projects.

While routine procedural matters such as the approval of previous minutes were set aside, the meeting’s focus remained steadfast on the town’s growth and development through its building projects. The committee’s examination of the warrant and updates on the various projects underscored their commitment to advancing Littleton’s infrastructure in a fiscally responsible and timely manner.
