WCFD Building Committee Meeting
9 December, 2008
Topics to be included for discussion:
1. Recap of 2 December meeting
a. Richard Holt, Joe Tatro, Kent Novak, Chief Pomfret and John Humble present.
b. John Humble reported on phone conversations he had had with biologist Shawna Holdridge and Nicholas Pasani of Dem/Wetlands that suggested that there are no wetland issues on the site and that further storm water runoff design alterations requested by DEM will not impact other features of the site. On a unanimously approved motion made by Kent Novak and seconded by Joe Tatro, it was agreed that Lorenson be asked to proceed with the drilling of the well as soon as possible but only on the condition that all necessary silt controls be in place around the well head.
c. The pitch of the apparatus bay floor has altered the design of the apparatus bay door openings by increasing their heights by 4”. Chief Pomfret sated that the extra 4” is not needed; therefore the height of the door jambs should be lowered by 4” thereby eliminating the need to purchase more expensive custom doors.
d. The idea of substituting less expensive clean outs rather than the more expensive man holes at five locations around the base of the building that are associated with the roof drains was discussed. Final decision yet to be made.
e. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the need for night lighting in the bays and hallways. It was suggested that a select group of lights already in the design be appropriately identified and powered by separately switched circuits.
f. It was determined that further clarification is required with regard to the need and location of fire extinguishers.
g. Richard Holt reviewed the current project cost ledger.
