Weston Library Community Room
AGENDA: Please note that the originally
posted notice was correct - it is in the Weston Public Library (across
the parking lot). WE WILL NOT BE ATTENDING (COVID19).
WE NOTE: The meeting was cancelled LIVE, but was held via
conference call, and we were sent the telephone number and other
information to be able to listen...but we did not do so.
There
were possibly two items listed in the agenda that could have had action
taken...
So we e-mailed the Town Administrator Thursday morning if actions were
taken. He had treated it as a Special Meeting according to F.O.I.
and forwarded the draft minutes.

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.

considering the agenda contents and the competing news opportunities
elsewhere, we did not attend. The official minutes of this
meeting: http://www.westonct.gov/media/file/BCMinutes11-20-19.pdf
"Interviews of consultants" for future projects told me that the
Building Committee is going to bring some order to the Board of
Education process on "facilities" planning.

"MISCHIEF NIGHT" MEETING? NO, PRE-MISCHIEF NIGHT.
We never saw this notice until 11pm Wednesday - how did we miss it all day?
Let's see...maybe we were too busy getting ready for Mother Nature's
version of "trick or treat" to catch it - or maybe we secretly didn't
want to?
Or we were watching game seven?
How are public meetings/building projects like baseball?
Ans. Running to first base can be the most complicated part.
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???

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION ALMOST
Weston's Building Committee - appointed - gives me faith in volunteer
government. PLUS a truly devoted and energized Town
administration, too.
And a fuller report below:

Questions from Building Committee - space use - to be reviewed and changes made...
Begin at upper right moving clockwise...
Summary of Brian Humes' report: No major changes in
Police-Fire-EMS but Town proposes first step in re-centralizing Town
functions...at Town Hall.
- September meeting of the Building Committee will be centered on rearrangement of use of office space for Town functions.
- Budget for the Hurlbutt repairs this summer should not be exceeded by too much (fingers crossed until October 15th).
- This is what happens when you get a rush job - prices are higher
and just the least delay, not to mention the asbestos remediation that
showed up in South House (that was missed during the construction of the
first project in the 1990's - the corridors and center house, we think) require, we assume,
overtime. Our guess - double what it should cost.
- But we are pleased to report that schools will open on schedule.
- On another subject, the long-awaited proposal to remove code
violations from Town Hall, Police Department, Fire Department and a
second story for EMS "living" space was discussed and ideas exchanged.

AGENDA completed and consultants on speakerphone: http://www.westonct.gov/media/file/BuildingCommitteeAgenda072419.pdf

BUILDING COMMITTEE: Members present grasped whole picture of Hurlbutt projects; focus on special professional contributions.
Monday meetings on site with contractors,Board of Ed rep and then periodic public meetings noticed to inform public fully.
- Weston is fortunate to have this Building Committee and should listen to them - JMO.
- Very little leverage on this project to watch costs because Board
of Education - the end users - want to make this work for them and don't
care to save money;
- Newest member warns that there must be paper trail for this latest work.
- And well they know - construction companies go bankrupt and then come alive again (how do they do this?).
- I am surprised (pleasantly) that they were able to get original plans - not to mention materials guarantees, etc.

Commission Room at Town Hall
AGENDA: http://www.westonct.gov/media/file/BCAgenda070119.pdf
(We assume the lack of a quorum was caused by the fact that it was effectively a sub-committee, not requiring one.)

EMERGENCY NO-BID JOB
Designer on speakerphone - confirming agreed matters. Town Administrator present to assure proper procedures with note in file
- DESIGN/BUILD - copying communication between RF and Mulvaney to Building Committee and Town Administrator
- Approval to proceed on piping below grade - $77k ($22,000
materials, labor the rest). This we believe is the same number
that was submitted 2 years ago to Capital Committee but not funded???
- What's left to do? Boiler for 8 classrooms, cafeteria and the Senior Center (South House).
- What is the final date for schools to have heating system in workable condition? October 15.
Just under one hour meeting. Next meeting will be soon - next week?
BLAST FROM THE PAST! Seems like an excellent Facilities Director (at left in photo at right below).
Nov. 15, 2001 plans (l.). Have we been around so long that our previous attendance at Building Committee is now "historic?"

HOW DID THE E-WING RENOVATION TURN OUT? GREAT!!!
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.
- ADD ON: Alternative pricing for slate.
- 20%
contingency. Bond - Town of Weston checking these seven bids out to be sure all have the requisite info.
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).
- "D" means demolition. We would guess this is where the asbestos will pop up, if any. So far the Table of Contents shows drawings for types of work. Separate contractors by trade.:
- Code, "R"
- Structural, "S"
- Architectural, "D" and "A"
- Finish,"F"
- Mechanicals, "D" and "M"
- Plumbing "D" and "P" and
- Electrical work "D" and "E"
- QUESTION: Where is the estimate for asbestos mitigation - if any of the work relates to the oldest sections of Town Hall?
- ANSWER: Items 3, 5, 6 & 7. (We assume the
renovation done in the mid-1980's should not have any asbestos - except
where it connects to the original building?)
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?
- We know that this is presently the location of Emergency Storm Center functions.
- It is now also used for public meetings. Will this use disappear? Where will the meetings move to?
- Should the murals be relocated if no longer a public space?
QUESTION #2: Detail on lower level: Ever been in the basement?
- It has a nicely renovated bathroom for women, a "space" for eating ("break room" served as a possible meeting space, too) and...
- 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.
- 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).
- Everything fits very tightly together at the Town Hall-Firehouse-Library Complex on Norfield Road. Emergency access?
- We don't find any plan for logistics for the structural, code,
architectural, mechanical, plumbing, or electrical contractors to off
load their materials and/or park.
- What is the plan for making this work? So far, all I can
figure is that the work will be done after schools are out - sounds
familiar!
- MOST IMPORTANT: Staging plan needed and parking (temporary) for workers/overflow Town Hall parking.
QUESTION #4: How much do you think the bids will come in at? Tune in Thursday Dec. 12, 2019 to find out!
- We can't recall exactly what the addition to Town Hall cost in the
mid-1980's (we were doing watercolor then, above), but the First Selectman didn't run for a third term.
- New section of Town Hall in earth tone - artist's eye view;
- New Fire House One - graphic from our own photo, taken in 1980's as a black and white (photo appears in 1987 Town Plan).
- The $79 million School-Fields project began life in 2001 as a much larger size - north of $100 million.
- On the lower side, we have records (no longer online) of the bid open for the
sprawling W.M.S. roof in 2010 ranging from $1,775k TO $2,987k
among 8 companies.
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.).

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...

The consensus was to go ahead with a modified version of a project

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

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...

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

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

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. That is down from an allocation of $175,000,
because some of it was spent on engineering fees and asbestos testing,
he explained. The rest
of the money will likely come from the
general fund surplus,
Mr. Landry said, which will require Board of Selectmen and Board of
Finance approval, and possibly a special town meeting...

- Weston School Road
Campus Site
Plan approved at October 9, 2002 School Building Committee meeting.
- Check
membership
of the School Building Committee and the Building
Committee (courtesy of the LWV of Weston);
- Referendum
passes,
and the Fletcher-Thompson
scheme approved by voters;
- Prior
to
June
Town Meeting and referendum--this
company, along with construction-managers O&G, picked up where
previous
plans had been left; To view alternatives considered by "Select
Team"
and a summary of framework for planning summer '01 design work - that
did
not take place as originally conceived (i.e. getting better specifics
on
concept designs) -
- EVEN
MORE HISTORICAL
DATA: FINAL
OR&L PLAN
and map; unofficial
septic
background FOUND ELSEWHERE ON THIS WEBSITE;
AND EVEN MORE HISTORY:
- Selectmen OK ED SPECS FOR
State Funding by June 30;
- Board of
Selectmen
(May 4, 2000 meeting) approved extra payment ($19,200) for School
Planner
(OR&L) to draw up education specifications...Ed Specs for four part
Plan. Four buildings and areas around them will be separate
applications.
For example: the new 3-4-5 building and attendent fill, paving,
fields
is one; the high school project plus moving School Road is
two;
the Middle School auditorium and renovations plus loop road is
three;
Hurlbutt renovations and School Road entrance is four. So easy to
explain! (These are my guesses--not confirmed what the four separate
projects
will actually be.)
- MAY 18 and May 25 Dates to
note...On May
18, 2000 at 7:30pm in the Weston Library Fuss&O'Neill presented
their
draft plan for sewers/septic to Town of Weston Boards and
Commissions.
The public was invited...but not to speak.
- On May 25, 2000 at 8pm
in the W.H.S. auditorium, there was be a PUBLIC HEARING on this same
proposal.
On June 1, 2000 (est.) at the Board of Selectmen, a decision was to be
made by that Board, and a recommendation will be made to the Board of
Finance
and then to Town Meeting...
- STOP THE PRESS...May 25 the
800 (est.)
Westonites
present put a stop to the Fuss&O'Neill sewer project option in a
loud
voice (and some great letters later in area newspapers). Thus, in
reading from old commentary on "About Town's" website, it is clear that
a previous Planning and Zoning Commission had strong backing to have
its say in these matters - read about it on this
"Select Committee" link to find out
how an alternative was found; Weston went ahead with this
non-sewer
solution...
Please
remember that this is not the official agenda/notes and if any opinions
are expressed they are those of the author of this website and no one
else's.

accordingly.

WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE, Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 7:30pm,
Commission Room, Town Hall
- This
meeting of significance because O&G fully represented by staff
responsible for high school, intermediate school and major, very
helpful and capable main office management now making it their business
to finish off all outstanding items left on the "punch list."
- Report
on trees for campus, in particular, location of what may be the
"booster barn" - it was recommended to wait on these trees because
their growth could be stunted if construction nearby upset their
expanding root system as they developed (our words).
- 3-5 school - change order OK'd to repair new cafetorium
stage stairs (design did not take into account expanding and
contracting through the changing seasons - condition developing that
would not be good for safety.
- H.S. kilns in place (not being used), but proper venting
still to be done - request from Bd. of Ed. to act PROMPTLY, please.
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

nature) from State education department re: design requirements
soon. We did not stay to find out about next meeting date.

Construction
progress update/schedule/actual building going well, but septic system
existing at Revson not able to function during construction of new
"white

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

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.

@$40,000
in the fundraising ($460,000+raised already). NOTE: fundraising

WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE/BUILDING COMMITTEE
Wednesday,
March 10, 2004, 7:30pm in the Commission Room at Town Hall
AGENDA
includes
report from Police Chief, Owner's Rep, O&G (on many projects).
- Chief
Land spoke
and indicated that the Police Department would be prepared to help out
and offer needed protection services when and if more were
needed.
Plans at this time are secure (as in posted, campus protected and
outlying
projects under control).
- Owner's
Rep proposes method for "on the spot" decisions on small changes ($$)
and
an increasing amount/increasing formality of process
additionally.
He will present this again next week in writing. School
Facilities
Director reported to the Building Committee on projects funded
in
the capital budget that are moving forward (North House work, bus
garage
roof, etc.);
- O&G
spoke
of considerable progress so far, but warned of several problems--noted
below are contingency plans to be available if needed:
- the
first was
getting C,L&P to turn off service at 16 Parade Ground Court;
- second
was Zenon
Plant overrunning completion timeframe, perhaps (April contract
signing?)--two
alternatives suggested to minimize this: 1)7 day work week is
one
2)gaining time by planning pumping of W.H.S. septic multiple times per
day for the few weeks it might be necessary;
- third
was the
fact that O&G reported there is no extra fill/soil on campus as of
today. Last week's School Building Committee had discussed the
"extra"
fill on campus--which was considered as available to make up the
shortfall
in the budget of the artificial turf football field. The Sports
Complex
group hoped this cost-cutting opportunity was real. (This week O&G
reported contractors working on School Road projects will not be able
to
determine what part or all of this "extra" fill they will need until @
May.)

received,
and both the 3-4-5 school and the high school additions seem to be back
under budget; however, a "soft costs" draft analysis, not released to

may
be over seriously for previous budgets and estimates in this part of
the
project (i.e. Court costs, additional hours of consultant time for
additional

employees,
aggravated by administrative hearing requests)

recommendation
on sitework; send it out again or cut, cut,cut--very serious that this
part of project is so far out of compliance with what professional
estimators
(2 of them--one from O&G, one from F&T) valued work at last
April.

- First

Parks&Rec contracts for work in 2011 and then the rains came (more

- Heavy

emerging as field is aerated?
- Speaking
of draining properly, "About Town" presents what might be the
explanation for Revson ponding as well as discussions of the artificial
turf football field...in addition to swales or whatever:
please read this from our notes from a previous Building Committee
meeting: "...and
ponding would only take place on the field after more than two inches
of
rain had fallen (in an hour?)".
- Reverse chronologic order from "About Town"

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...

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...

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?
Low bid for Revson Field in Weston comes in at $144,900
Weston FORUM
Written by Kimberly Donnelly
Thursday, 07 July 2011 00:00
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...

*It
turns out that, although agendas for School Building Committee meetings
thru August 25, 2004 were posted as "School Building Committee
/Building
Committee" - by a vote of 7-1 members (2 absent) of both groups voted
to
advise the Board of Selectmen to not to increase the size of the School
Building Committee (it is now 10--recent resignation of #11, long-time
representative on Building Committee). The future agendas for
both
bodies will be posted separately in the Town Clerk's
Office.
