Hirt, and Mr. Charles B. Scott in attendance. Also present: Fiscal Officer -Shelley Seamon and Zoning Inspector, Rhonda Botti Sowers,
In attendance were: Thomas Bodner, President of Bodner & Kerik Architects Inc., Scott Kerik, Vice President of Bodner & Kerik Architects Inc., Lisa Bruno, Rita Mahler, and Bridget Sowers.
The purpose of the special meeting was to meet with representatives Thomas Bodner & Scott Kerik of Bodner & Kerik Architect Inc., to review the preliminary designs and discuss the potential renovation project for the township hall.
The trustees and architects had a very in depth conversation regarding the drawings and comprehensive report compiled by Mr. Bodner and Mr. Kerik. The designs were presented in two layouts in which Scheme A & B utilized the same layout and Scheme C was presented on a separate layout. It was discussed that Scheme A differed from Scheme B because it offered more of the interior finishes being replaced. The costs per schemes were as follows: Scheme A (Full Finishes) Cost: $270,437.00 plus a 20% Contingency of $54,087.00, Scheme B (Basic – Midgrade) Cost: $244,385.00 plus a 20% Contingency of $48,877.00, and Scheme C (Condensed) Cost: $157,280.00 plus a 20% Contingency of $31,456.00.
Each scheme addressed the following items: ADA accessibility into the building and restrooms, upgrades to office space and safety concerns which included heating/cooling system(s), safety for zoning/other personnel, and sinking floor.
It was discussed that Scheme C was designed to keep construction cost within the proposed budget of $120,000.00 - $140,000.00 which was right on target until foundation concerns arose after investigation of the crawl space.
Mr. Bodner and Mr. Kerik also presented the trustees with designs to address creating a main entrance into the building for the public and having back entry for the employees. A brief discussion was held regarding adding the following alternatives to the scope of the renovation project: new windows for the 1st & 2nd Floors, insulating walls/ceilings for the 1st & 2nds floors, upgrading the restrooms/hall fixtures and Geo heating/cooling systems. If all of the alternatives would be considered by the trustees, the potential cost for each scheme would be as follows: Scheme A-$601,459.00, Scheme B-$594,310.00, and Scheme C-$522,744.00.
It was decided that the trustees would review the in depth report and drawings provided to each of them before making any decisions. Discussion was projected to resume within 10 days from the date of tonight’s meeting.
There being no further business Mr. Hirt moved to adjourn at 8:27 pm. Second by: Mr. Scott. Vote: Mr. Hirt-yes, Mr. Scott-yes, Ms. Rozak-yes. Motion carried.
