II NEW BUSINESS - Review and possible vote of Indian Head Roof design and bid documents – School Committee Chairman Robert Hayes presented the Indian Head Roof and Lintel repair design and bid documents which had been drafted by Gale Engineering. He indicated that the documents were identical to the document presented and approved by the Indian Head Roof Repair committee on Friday. However, the two projects, roof and lintels, have been separated into two documents. There was brief discussion regarding the bent beam at the Indian Head School. The Building Inspector has checked it and has determined it will not affect the roof project. Mr. Hayes reported that the hatch on the “Penthouse” on the Indian
Head School needs to be fixed and estimates an additional cost of the project of $5,000.00. He advised that lightening protection is an alternate cost, but is not required.
MOTION by Howard, second by McGahan to approve the Indian Head Roof and Lintel design and bid documents as presented. Voted 5 – 0
