At the Special Village Board Meeting on Monday, November 23, the Village Board reviewed the plans for the preliminary construction roads that will be built on the site yet this fall. As the work will most likely come in under $25,000, Public Works Director Randy Loberger is to seek competitive quotes along with placing a Class I notice in the newspaper for the project. The work is to be awarded at the December 7 board meeting.
The construction bids for the balance of the project will be let by January 12, 2010. The bid award is scheduled for February 15 with construction to begin in March as soon as the weather permits.
The Board also reviewed the budget for the facility and several construction alternatives. The building budget is on track at this point in time. Depending on how the bids come in, more work may be able to be accomplished.
Exterior designs were reviewed and the board agreed that they liked the look of stacked limestone the best for the exterior stone work. The overall exterior design will be compatible with the Suamico landscape and meet the criteria set by the Town Center Plan adopted in 2003.
The next Village Board Update is scheduled for December 7 at 7 PM during the regular board meeting.
