Coordinator report

May 4, 2017

We have plan to move forward with a utility approved project expeditor
(PEX) to install about 11 tons of Fuji air source heat pumps in town
hall and highway department office. The grant requires that we obtain
all "incentives" and we will get about $9k from this project which we
will need to use as part of . We will need the remaining grant plus the
incentive to pay for this work. This warrant has $26k initial payment /
deposit. Work will begin 15 May using a local contractor, Gates of
Deerfield. I have to close out the grant by June 30. The closest
contract we have considered prior to this one used all our funds to do
the four offices with a total of three or four tons of total capacity.
This proposal adds the main and dining halls and Larry's office and
comes to 11 tons of cooling and heating. This came together as a result
of a lot of work by Chairman of Building and Energy Kurkoski. She worked
with the subcontractor, and found a PEX willing to oversee the job for a
10% fee on top of cost. This is included in the contract. I'll be
looking for the board to approve the contract and sign the warrant for
the deposit.

Memorial Day observance is Saturday May 27 and the committee would like
a Selectboard representative to welcome participants. We will be sure to
have the grounds looking good for the occasion.

I am requesting board approval for a couple of additional projects at
the Town Hall. The Rec Committee has purchased badminton net and I'd
like to paint lines in the main hall. We'd put some urethane down under
the location of the lines so that they can be buffed off later and won't
color the oak.  The other project involves dealing with lower basement
records storage and creating secure broadband workspace and storage in
the lower basement rather than my office and hallway.
