Rumney Library Trustees Minutes - 3/26/2015

The meeting was opened at 12 noon with Trustees Roger Daniels and Leina Smoker as well as Library Director, Susan Turbyne, present. Also attending was Tom Wallace. The purpose of today’s meeting was to review the bids for the removal of asbestos on the lower level of the library. After discussion, it was moved (Roger Daniels) and seconded (Leina Smoker) to accept the bid from Advanced Building Systems, Inc. to remove all of the asbestos containing pipe insulation in the lower level in the amount of $8200.00. It was also moved (Roger Daniels) and seconded (Leina Smoker) to accept the proposal from RPF Environmental to perform Abatement Monitoring Services related to the asbestos removal work in the amount of $1960.00 The total cost for both proposals is $10,160.00 Regulations require a ten-day notification to the State before work can start. RPF Environmental estimates that work should be able to start approximately two weeks after authorization to proceed (authorization was given today). It is estimated that the project will take two days and we are hoping that it will take place on a Monday and Tuesday so as not to disrupt our library schedule. The meeting adjourned at 12:20 pm.
