Combined Facilities Director Sandra Duran joined the Permanent Building Committee meeting this week. She provided a rapid-fire update on a laundry list of facilities projects that are in progress. Here’s the recap from her update:
Fairbank Drainage Project
It began this week with the addition of a couple accessible parking spaces, which were add alternates on the project. Drainage work at the front of the building was going to start imminently according to Duran.
DPW Office Building Solar and Roof Project
They had to pause due to some complications with the roof coating and warranty coverage requirements. Duran reported that they figured out a new process, and the project resumed this week. She also noted that the project is still likely to come in within the original budget.
Fire Station 3
They’re close to making final payment to the contractor, and came in slightly under budget. They’ll give the balance back to the Town.
Facilities Condition Assessment
Sudbury Public Schools and the Town are reviewing the draft reports and providing feedback. The next version of the report will be shared more broadly according to Duran. All the equipment and assets that were inventoried are being uploaded into a new work order system, complete with order of magnitude replacement costs, allowing the Town to make a dynamic capital plan.
Fairbank EV Charging Stations
Duran said the install was going to begin in the next couple weeks. That will include two charging stations in each parking lot on either side of the building.
Atkinson Pool Renovation
The completed designs are in, as is the first cost estimate. The estimate came in high, so they’ll be looking to do some value engineering according to Duran. She cited the mechanical room as an opportunity to trim costs and keep the project moving forward. She indicated that the cost estimate was not surprising.
