Well Proposals

Everett Kittredge had prepared a spreadsheet for the Well proposals with the different components. Everett Kittredge suggested that a price of $350.00 needs to be added to any bidder who did not include the price for water testing. After considerable conversation, Jim Pickman suggested that a $10,000.00 dollar amount should be used to cover the total cost. The bids presented are good through March 31, 2008.

Jim Pickman, NAC Subcommittee Chair advised that a Generator, Toilet for the holding cell in the Police Station and Bullet Proof glass needs to be included as additional required material costs.

Phil LaMoreaux advised a Geotechnical report will also need to be considered and is the responsibility of the town which would provide bearing capacity where the buildings will be built (below the site work). Also, the town will be responsible for power to the site as well as all state and local permits.

Motion was made by Eileen Kelly for the NAC Steering Committee to meet on January 10, 2008. Motion seconded by Everett Kittredge. Motion carried 5-0.

An Independent Inspection Authority to check as work progresses was discussed.
