B. Salt Shed
The shed has not been sealed inside. The shed is full of sand and salt so the sealant will be done in the spring.
C. Broad Brook Elementary School – Restroom Upgrades & Asbestos Abatement
The additional renovations to the faculty restroom are complete. The project is done.
D. East Windsor High School Boiler Replacement Project
John Aulisio, EDM, gave a progress report. Mr. Aulisio discussed domestic hot water options and boiler options that would allow the project to stay within the budgeted amount. Mr. Aulisio discussed the option of cutting a larger doorway opening to the boiler room to make it easier for the demolition of the old boiler and installation of the new boiler system.
Mr. Aulisio would like to go out to bid in January 2008 with a target date of January 21, 2008. The bid package would include alternates such as the bigger door, bigger tank, etc. A gas domestic hot water system may be an option. Tim will contact the gas company to see if there may be any concessions to encourage a connection to gas. A dual fuel option on the boilers may entitle the school to state grant money for energy efficiency in schools.
