Award Salt Barn Bid: Councilperson Lemke suggested that the board hire a project manager to oversee the project and
asked if we needed to figure out financing in order to proceed. Supervisor Redmond has engaged with Municipal
Solutions and they will most likely work with us to bond the project. Supervisor Redmond does not believe that we will
need to engage a construction engineer. Councilperson Lemke would like to communicate with Superintendent Rollins
before proceeding. Councilperson Lynch asked if the Enfield Town Board could accept the bid from Parklane
Construction as it exceeded the project cost limit imposed. Councilperson Lemke would like us to negotiate to at the
$700,000.
Councilperson Lynch motioned and Supervisor Redmond seconded to accept the bid from Parklane Construction.
Discussion: Councilperson Lemke stated we should approve the bid conditionally (If we get it down it is okay, otherwise
it is okay). The Board is accepting the bid and is authorizing Supervisor Redmond to try to negotiate the price down to
$700,000. Supervisor Redmond will negotiate with Parklane Construction and speak with Municipal Solutions before
sending the award to Parklane Construction.
