President Arrasmith, called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. with the following
trustees present: Bickers, Laurent, Gadeken, and Catron. Trustees Schluter and Harris were absent. Attorney Miller was also present.
Trustee Bickers began the meeting by stating that the purpose of this meeting was to review the savings being offered in regards to Option 1 of the bid proposals. Robert Tincher from Hillside Development Group began by stating that if Integrity Concrete and Excavating poured the monolithic curb at the same time the building is poured, it would save the Village $6,600. It was decided to have them poured at the same time. For FBI Buildings to change the pitch of the roof and carport ceiling, it would save the Village $15,457.00. It was decided to change the pitch of the roof, but not do the metal siding for a savings of $14,611. To have B and D Electric change to a 200 amp service and to replace the steel light pole bases with aluminum would be a savings of $14,800. It was decided to change to the 200 amp service, but to keep the steel light pole bases for a savings of $14,300. B and D Electric also bid a fire alarm system for $8,400. For Weber Plumbing and Heating to change the furnace from a Lennox to a Ducane would be a savings of $3,500. After much discussion, it was decided to go with the Ducane. It would also be a savings of $1,000 for Weber to change the waterlines from copper to pex. It was decided to keep the copper because it will last longer. For T & T Construction to install drop ceilings instead of drywall ceilings, it would be a savings of $13,440. It was decided to go with the drop ceiling. These changes allow for a total savings of $57,060.78 off the proposed bids. The final cost for the new village hall was brought below the one million dollar mark to a total of $988,416.40.
