TOWN HALL BUILDING PROJECT UPDATES

---

As the lowest responsible bidder, with a bid of $630,380, RAM General Contracting was awarded the building project contract.

Demolition and excavation of the building.

Site work on the building project began.

While excavating for the new parking lot area, that was previously dirt, remnants of a small building were found buried.  To maintain the integrity of the new parking lot, a soil expert engineer and the architect recommended removing the concrete and weathered dimensional lumber and back filling and compacting the area.   A change order in the amount of $7,586 was approved by the board in a 4-1 vote.  The board is closely monitoring the project budget and the project budget is still well-under the budget amount that was approved by the electorate (residents) at the March 2023 Annual Meeting.
