Special Building Committee
Thursday Dec. 19, 2019 at 6pm, Commission Room





BUILDING COMMITTEE STARTS THINGS OFF AT 6PM...IN THIS THREE RING CIRCUS OF MEETINGS.

Interview with low bidder, Tomlinson Hawley Paterson - “RFJ.”  A familiar name - a contractor who had worked successfully on W.H.S. expansion and other jobs around town.

Not shown:  The Police Chief and EMS were in the audience.  Mobile dispatch free if we select equipment from State of CT list.



Then discussion with First Selectman after RFJ left (above). 

The bids are good for 60 days from Dec. 12th when they were opened.  It was interesting to hear that the Town was aiming to have a Special Town Meeting on BOTH the Public Service-EMS item and the cost of communications equipment (“dispatch panel”) for the call of that meeting.  If possible.

TIMING:  Historic District Commission certificate of appropriateness - Jan. 8, 2020 (“slate” issue);  after that they will have the correct $$ figure including 20% contingency;  EMS must decide on Motorola or non-Motorola issue in time to be on the same Special Town Meeting agenda...

Minutes of Nov. 20 approved...meeting over at 7:10pm.

Now that the big project (see immediately below) is getting to the point where the Town is almost ready to put it to a vote, and timing matters (even a small delay might render it moot for next summer)  - perhaps F.O.I. complaints might complicate matters???

Cautionary tale...
North Stonington firehouse cost put at $8.3 million as panel OKs plan that's $2 million more than what voters approved
By Kelly Catalfamo Day Staff Writer
Article published Jul 1, 2014

North Stonington - The Emergency Services Building Committee on Monday approved an approximately $8.3 million plan for a new building, about $2 million more than what voters approved for the project last year.

Committee Chairman Mark Perkins was quick to point out that the additional cost does not mean that the committee has added expensive new features - or, in fact, any new features at all.
"We are in no way building the Taj Mahal," said Perkins after Monday's meeting.

Part of the problem, he said, is that the original plan was priced during a recession and building costs have gone up. The newest project is for a significantly smaller building than the one originally proposed: The $6.3 million was supposed to cover 24,000 square feet, and the committee said they didn't think they could go below 19,000 square feet when cutting costs.

The current proposal is 19,240 square feet - and getting to that number "was not easy at all," said Perkins...





TWENTY-NINETEEN (2019)
Planning complete for Public Safety Facility-EMS Headquarters- necessary renovations to basement of Town Hall/linkages upstairs.




WE ATTENDED THE BID OPENING
Bids due Thursday, December 12, 2019 at 2pm, Town Hall Meeting Room.

HOW MANY RESPONSES TO THE RFP WERE THERE?  SEVEN (7)
The bid documents contained 3 categories - EMS Headquarters, Police Department-Town Hall renovations, new roof on a small part of the project. 
WHAT MAY IT COST?
$2.4 million to $1.6 million.

-------------------------------------------------------

PROJECT UNOFFICIAL DOCUMENT DISCUSSION:
DRAWINGS;  HOW WE GO ABOUT FIGURING THIS ALL OUT...
We obtained an early copy prior to amendments before the Building Committee gave its approval - what's in this August 14, 2019 document?  There were 59 page package of renovation drawings and detail.

ON PAGE ONE - THE COVER PAGE, INCLUDING TABLE OF CONTENTS, LOCATION MAP.  Authors (Architect and consultants with contact info).



SOME CONSIDERATIONS...AFTER REVIEWING THE DRAWINGS OUR QUESTIONS (scan down or click on graphics below):







QUESTION #1:  What is the status of the dual-use Daugherty Commission Room in the Proposed Public Services Facility?  Has it been turned over to the Police?




QUESTION #2: Detail on lower level: Ever been in the basement? 
  1. It has a nicely renovated bathroom for women, a "space" for eating ("break room" served as a possible meeting space, too) and...
  2. If you went through a door you would come upon Town Hall mechanical space - an empty room (at least it was when we were there - and it tended to be wet at times, if memory serves.
  3. All the historical data the Town of Weston keeps in "storage" - we once had to find paper records there - enough said!  It has been years since we were down in the break room area, so our info might be a bit tired.




QUESTION #3:  View from above (from aerial photo) of Weston Town Hall.  Same architect for Commission Room as  Fire House One connected to Town Hall via Communication Center (not shown).




QUESTION #4:  How much do you think the bids will come in at?  Tune in Thursday Dec. 12, 2019 to find out!


QUESTION #5:  How many previous administrations approached this?  Chronological order:


Prior to this website's development in the 21st century, we note views of the addition to Town Hall and the construction of Fire Station #1, 1985-1987 (est.).

More to come...after bid opening







SWALES - AND WE DON'T MEAN NEW SOUTH WALES, EITHER, MATE...BIOSWALES
 
Should the State be concerned re:  Increased flooding on Rte 57? One answer - swales.  PAVED AREAS FOR SWALES?  More paved parking coming behind East House? 
Illustration of "rain gardens" above -  times infinity - is almost what will be needed to sop up runoff at new parking for Police Station...and the increase in impervious surface of the building itself, JMO.

First time we saw the plans we had doubts about some things. Town Engineer, did, also - Police Dept site or drainage structures must be moved.  Where?  Land swap coming?
Historic District Commission "Norfield District" involved in these discussions, too?  Chief Troxell  looking a bit pensive - couldn't have been anything we said because we never spoke!  Architect Humes begins by emphasizing the need for separation of public access and parking from emergency.

Emergency Services "complex" development under the close observation of Building Committee.
Is this going to play out as if there were constant threats to Weston so that we were better off never leaving home?  Oops!  It's wasn't a secret?  We thought we were at a public meeting!

For the first time since the completion of work on the $80 million schools and fields bond issue elements, we are returning to the Building Committee to observe!

HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT AT THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
POLICE STATION ACCESS ON 57 FOR PUBLIC;  WESTPORT GETS NUMBER FOR SCHOOL SECURITY;  at right - former Sandy Hook Elem., Newtown

Early review at Historic District Commission Monday at 2pm went well;  tomorrow, Wednesday, at Building Committee, 7:30pm, Commission Room, the new plans shown first!

The two big issues for the project are moving the Onion Barn and how to phase the renovations/additions at Town Hall. How much opposition each draws and who has the power to decide the plan's fate (plan for the Police Station, in this case) is a matter of how much anybody in town cares about it.

Where is the project now?  Why is it or is it not a good idea for Weston to pursue?  What is the plan - to make the Police Station the new face of Weston - "Welcome to Weston, CT, home of the Weston Police Department."  Sounds like a bad remake of "The Stepford Wives."

"You have to have a map" is the best advice I ever got (when I was in the redevelopment planning business)

I think we have to rethink how we brand this project - the overall plan for the Central Part of Town needs a map;  what is the cost of any of this might be a question some have.  Where will the money come from?   How about the cost of not beginning the Central Part of Town Plan - that is my concern.  Without an overall plan we will waste effort and money fighting battles that need not happen.   

How to go about a very complicated planning process...and in our opinion, where it may lead.

At the Historic District Commission meeting at 2pm Monday, a preliminary presentation (not the latest drawings - in process) by First Selectman, Police Chief and member of the Police Commission show access to a new Police Department FOR THE PUBLIC ONLY from Weston Road, pending approval by the State Traffic Commission.   If the permit claims no more access than presently uses it - or just a bit more - why move the Onion Barn at all?  This is an old structure and perhaps not in good enough condition - plus the foundation is new in its present location.

And although we can't quite be sure from the schematics we were given, looks as if Town Hall is almost doubling but via use of "lower levels."  Good luck to that, based upon the experiences the last time Town Hall was expanded...with expanding by half again as many square feet of rooftop and 100% increase in impervious surfaces for parking and access to the new Police Station, some heavy duty detention-retention structure will have to be designed to keep runoff from entering drainage in Route 57 - and flooding the septic systems at the Shopping Center across Weston Road...

IT'S A GO ON THE WINDOWS AND DOORS PROJECT - OUT TO BID SOON!  WILL THIS INTERFERE WITH THE WETLANDS REMEDIATION?
The consensus was to go ahead with a modified version of a project description - no air conditioning but the the "short sighted" option - cost is higher than originally estimated because of remediation that has never before been mandated.  After bids come back, the decision will be made whether to go for extra appropriation or just stretch it out over more years.  (NOTE:  About Town thinks that is the reasoning.)

Weston tries to delay wetlands remediation until next year
Weston FORUM
Written by Kimberly Donnelly
Thursday, 18 August 2011 00:00

Students beginning the new school year at Weston Middle School and Weston High School may be heading into the midst of a major construction zone.

Town and school officials are hoping a letter from Weston Superintendent Colleen Palmer to the Army Corps of Engineers will allow the town to delay the start of wetlands remediation work required on the school campus — but the work has already been delayed for several years.

The Army Corps of Engineers notified the town last Friday, Aug. 12, that it must begin the first phase of remediation work this fall so that the second phase can take place in October.

Tom Landry, town administrator, said the first phase consists of removing “thousands and thousands of cubic yards” of dirt and other material from the field between the middle and high school. The second phase involves crafting a new wetlands area; the plants required to create the wetlands need to be planted in October in order for them to “take” properly, Mr. Landry said...full story here.

Montville selects architect for new public safety building
By Megan Bard New London Day Staff Writer
Article published Jun 21, 2010

Montville - For nearly two years, members of the Public Safety Building Committee has been plodding away at the task of researching the need for a new safety facility.

Last week, they found out that they're closer then they thought to sending a proposal to taxpayers in November.

Last week, the committee reviewed architectural designs for the single-story, 16,000-square-foot facility that could be built at a 17-acre town-owned site that overlooks Haughton Cove at 909 Norwich-New London Turnpike (Route 32). The property is almost diagonally across from the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center.

Chairman Jack Platt and others members commented on how swift the project seems to be moving now, since they've hired an architectural firm and really gotten into the design work.
An official cost estimate for the project will be presented to the committee next month but based on a suggestion made that a the group's meeting last week, the building could cost about $5.1 million. This is a decrease from the projected $6 million officials thought it would cost last year.

Although the town is struggling with revenues because of a decrease in state aid, town fees and investment interest, it is nearly an ideal time to consider such a project because of the favorable bid market, according to committee members...
Weston eyes rehab plan for municipal buildings
By JEREMY SOULLIERE, Hour Staff Writer
July 2, 2007

WESTON — In the coming weeks, the condition of Weston's municipal and school facilities will be closely examined to map out a future rehabilitation plan for the buildings.

...The idea for a sweeping assessment of town facilities stemmed from the schools' request to replace a portion of the high school roof this year, Landry said, a $1.6 million project that was approved at a special town meeting this past March. The roof was in critical condition, he said, and had not been on the town's capital budget radar.

Town officials wanted to avoid such a surprise in the future, he said, and the building assessment was a way to do that.

"It became apparent that we needed to identify all these town-wide needs in a systematic way," said Landry, who noted the town had not been in the habit of compiling its long term facility needs in the past...



ARCHITECT FOR STUDY OF TOWN AND SCHOOL BUILDINGS SELECTED FOR INSPECTION AND RECORDING OF CONDITIONS REQUIRING FUTURE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT;  FUNDING REQUEST FOR SPECIAL APPROPRIATION GRANTED!

STUDY FUNDING OK'd - by the way, looking back in 2016, this was the best used report ever!!!
The Capital Advisory Committee met at 7:45am Monday morning June 11 at Town Hall to, apparently, approve the request for as it turns out, $117,000 for a study of Town/School buildings - the Board of Finance has included this request on their own agenda of Thursday, June 14, 2007. 

The Building Committee, members of the Capital Advisory Committee including the Town Administrator, Board of Finance, Board of Education and staff attended a 5:30pm Wednesday, February 7, 2007 meeting in the Commission Room (prior to the School Building/Building Committee regular meeting, posted for 8pm but actually was right after this first session) to interview three (3) firms who were invited to compete for the consulting job of evaluation of schools and some town buildings (and if we understand the RFP, perhaps looking at attendant drainege, fields, etc. facilities as well).

"About Town" was impressed with one of the firms especially (who presented in detail how this task could be done), but we will wait for the next Building Committee meeting on February 21, 2007 to post news of that Committee's decision (which will be forwarded, we presume, to the Board of Selectmen and then to the Board of Finance).

We think it is a fine idea to do such a study so that Town and School buildings can be maintained properly in a way that will make sure we don't end up bailing our way out of drainage overflows and potentially creating indoor air quality problems as mold accumulates in wet places.

----------------------------------------------------


HISTORY:  ONE SUBMISSION HERE.
Three (3) responses to RFP for study of facilities of major Town and all School buildings received by Board of Education and its Facilities Director and presented to the Building Committee for review at January 10, 2007 meeting.  The estimates (not considered "bids") of professional work needed and its cost  were $52k, 124k, and $135k.  Review by the Building Committee to be done prior to recommendation to the Boards of Selectmen and Finance, we assume.


NOTE:  ITEM in Captial Budget FY'08  ($175,000) for Town Hall Roof Replacement FY2008. Pictures of exterior and interior (new section) of Weston Town Hall below (l) - and work was done!

DO YOU THINK TOWN HALL WAS SHABBY?  First project, a new roof...the longer we wait, the more there will be to do; and the drips keep coming faster now - any mold here?  Voila!  After roof repaired, this is what it looks like now (January 2010)!  Check out the wonderful mural!!!

Building Committee meets with winning firm and cost estimator April 16th...all three Selectmen ask for "certificate of appropriateness" for fake slate May 7 at the Historic District Commission - 4-0 "no" from that Commission.

Weston Town Hall roof;  Bids higher than engineer’s estimate Weston FORUM

by Kimberly Donnelly
Apr 10, 2008

Bids for replacing the roof at Weston Town Hall have come in well above the engineer’s estimate for the work.  Two bids were received by the town and were opened Monday, April 7.  Silktown Roofing of Manchester entered a base bid of about $607,000. Barrett Roofing of Danbury’s base bid was about $917,000.

Tom Landry, town administrator, said the original estimate for the roof work was about $502,000.  Mr. Landry said there is about $150,000 left in a capital account in the current year’s budget that is designated for the roof replacement.

Agenda posted Wednesday afternoon-but note that this special meeting would take place was noted on the Town Clerk's Calendar as well as on the Appointed Committees agenda board (behind the door);  elected Commissions and Boards agendae appear on the bulletin board next to the Town Clerk's desk.

1.  In attendance was a quorum of the Building Committee plus School Building Committee members as well.  Director of Facilities for Board of Ed was present.  The high school roof project contract will be signed this week and work will commence - Spring Vacation is the time the "ballast" on top of the room is to be removed--it was suggested that the roof contractor might be asked to arrange for disposition of the stones and adjust contract accordingly.
2.  RFP on buildings' condition evaluation and resulting interviews of 3 firms took place.  It was decided by the Building Committee that one firm was best suited for this job, and the Chair. is directed to contact that firm and discuss the assignment (we do not identify which firm on the Internet).
3.  Review of work still to be completed, problems still  identified.
4. Executive Session: Claims, settlements.
NEXT MEETING IN ONE WEEK (March 28, 7:30pm) - meetings will be rescheduled at a rate of once every two weeks beginning March 28.

WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE, Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 7:30pm, Commission Room, Town Hall
 Meeting adjourned.  Then the agenda for the Building Committee was discussed...

BUILDING COMMITTEE ITEMS
Two roof items and projected before the Committee.

First, the old part of the high school.  On schedule (HBFishman and his consultant) for making the case that it would be a hardship to have to meet latest codes on roof design for schools.  The issue is "pitch" of the roof - structural analysis is close to finished, evaluating what various degrees of slant on the roof to be replaced would do to already existing and functioning drainage systems (the greating the degree of pitch to the roof, the faster rainwater, for example, would run off into drains - and perhaps overflow the detainage provisions in the existing design???).  The question before the Committee is which alternative (1.  as-is pitch;  2.  1/4" with possibility of some State funding,  3.  1/8" with no possibility of State rebate) to recommend to the Selectmen.  We hesitate to mention costs/rebate from State numbers on-line, but this is one of the considerations that will be part of decision-making--also, the more the pitch increases, requiring additional modification to the drainage system at the high school - the more the school program will be impacted (inside work).

Second, the old part of Town Hall.
No reimbursement issues here. The old, "historic" part of Town Hall needs a new-old roof (fitting the existing character of Town Hall/historic district).
NOTE:  About Weston did not attend the meeting of September 20, which we understand was not too well attended by school distric-related folks (back-to-school nights).
WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING/BUILDING COMMITTEE, Wednesday, September 6, 2006, 7:30pm, Commission Room, Town Hall
Nothing new, progress not moving forward to finish the project;  design for old section of high school's roof progressing.  Perhaps some direction coming (of a favorable nature) from State education department re: design requirements soon.  We did not stay to find out about next meeting date.

    • Construction progress update/computer wiring under School Road breached;

    • Schedule issues/some ahead, some behind by two weeks;

    • Applications for Payment/submitted and most to be addressed next week when Construction Manager and Architect are present at the same
    time;

    WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE/BUILDING COMMITTEE
    Wednesday, June 30, 2004, 7:30pm, Commission Room at Town Hall

    • Barry Blades presentation of the campus landscaping plans/neighbors present from various abutting points - new planting to go in no earlier than next Spring;
    • Board of Education request for approval:

    Architect for North House windows and South and East House doors/OK received
    • Construction progress update/schedule/actual building going well, but septic system existing at Revson not able to function during construction of new "white water" septic system, so it would seem as of this moment.  Pumping existing system - cutting off before effluent gets to fields - using the tank only (20,000 gal. tank when empty) and pumping twice a month until new tertiary treatment plant and "white water" fields ready seemed the best solution at the moment.  Other ideas:  portajohns, bottled water, handiwipes;  W.M.S. to open for teachers to return (under contract) August 23rd (?).

    AGENDA items of import:
    Chair. remarked that additional items taken up, if known about in advance, should appear as specific items on the agenda, and not just "any other business."

    Weston Education Foundation reported on their meeting with ARO and Superintendent, Facilities Committee Monday re: "PCAC - Performing and Creative Arts Center."  An auditorium of the type "end stage theater" (no fly space) which has wings, aisles, would be acceptable to drama and performance staff and true to Ed Spec.  Foundation will get back in gear and continue fund raising to this level (not as expensive as "fly space" alternative).

    O&G reported on status of construction and preparation for rains now coming down--O&G wants to be proactive in the event any breaches to S&E controls take place at any of the 3 sites (Campus, Bisceglie or Morehouse).  Jennifer Perry of DEP reviewing final drawings  of Zenon plant.  A month from now steel with begin;  box culvert installed early April, then road to the 3-4-5 school to be built across wetland.  There are @40 workers on site.

    Artificial Surface action of Selectmen discussed with First Selectman re:  Special Board of Selectmen's Meeting of March 29- and the suggestion that funds from the referendum go to cover the immediate shortfall of @$40,000 in the fundraising ($460,000+raised already).  NOTE: fundraising for the football field continuing--but full amount needed to place the order with the contractor - had to be right now or there would not be adequate time to build it for Fall season.

    Town and school officials walked the entire Revson Baseball Field on Monday and, for a change, they were very pleased.

    "It rained almost three inches last night, and Revson would be playable this afternoon," said Dave Ungar, head of the Parks and Recreation Department. "It's incredible ... in the past, the field would have been closed for three days... Even Bisceglie [ballfields aren't] playable today."

    Revson has been plagued with drainage issues since it was built during the school construction project nearly 10 years ago. Estimates to entirely reconstruct the varsity and JV fields ran to well over $1 million, so that option was never pursued...

    Dennis Brolin of Sports Turf Specialties is scheduled to install the clay on the varsity field on June 13 or 14, depending on the weather. At that time, he will give the town a quote to replace the clay on the JV field, but he told the first selectman finding a time he is available to do it might prove difficult.

    An inspector from National Irrigation came to the field on Friday, June 1. The inspector "feels strongly that the outfield issues are due to cracked irrigation lines," Ms. Weinstein said in an email update sent Saturday, June 2, to some members of the baseball community and several town officials, including the selectmen and the finance board chairman...

    Weston tries to delay wetlands remediation until next year

    Students beginning the new school year at Weston Middle School and Weston High School may be heading into the midst of a major construction zone.

    Town and school officials are hoping a letter from Weston Superintendent Colleen Palmer to the Army Corps of Engineers will allow the town to delay the start of wetlands remediation work required on the school campus — but the work has already been delayed for several years.

    The Army Corps of Engineers notified the town last Friday, Aug. 12, that it must begin the first phase of remediation work this fall so that the second phase can take place in October

    Tom Landry, town administrator, said the first phase consists of removing “thousands and thousands of cubic yards” of dirt and other material from the field between the middle and high school. The second phase involves crafting a new wetlands area; the plants required to create the wetlands need to be planted in October in order for them to “take” properly, Mr. Landry said...

    Construction work to try to fix the flood-prone Revson Baseball Fields has been delayed — due to flooding.

    “There’s about seven inches of rain on Revson right now,” said First Selectman Gayle Weinstein Monday morning.

    Aquaturf of Orange had been expected to start work last week on the $145,000 project, that incudes excavation, grading and replacement of infield sod, clay and loam, and the installation of drains in the outfield of the high school’s varsity and junior varsity baseball fields, located just north of Weston Middle School.

    Heavy rains last week and over the weekend continued at the beginning of this week, drenching the field and making work impossible to begin, said Tom Landry, town administrator.

    Once it does begin, work is expected to take about four weeks.

    According to the bid specifications for the job, contractors were required to finish the work at Revson by Aug. 26. However, Mr. Landry said because the delay is not the fault of the contractor, the town will likely grant an extension if needed.

    How could low bid be less than half the high bid?

    After reviewing the three bids submitted for drainage work at the Revson Baseball Fields, the town has identified the low bidder.  Aquaturf of Orange submitted a bid total of $144,873 for the excavation, grading and replacement of infield sod, clay and loam, and the installation of drains in the outfield.  Tom Landry, town administrator, said the work will be done on both the varsity and the junior varsity fields, which are located on School Road to the north of Weston Middle School.

    The other two bids received were from Kuwalksy Brothers of Westport ($198,369) and BDE Sports Turf of Monroe ($314,970).

    “There was a pretty good range,” Mr. Landry said. He explained that the bid specifications asked bidders to provide costs for five individual items, and there was “quite a variance” on some of those...
