The renovation project at the Plymouth City Building in its second month and things are progressing at a good pace, according to City Attorney Sean Surrisi who updated the Plymouth City Council on the progress last week.
“They’re still in the demolition phase,” reported Surrisi. “We’ve run into a couple of things. When you tear open an old building you run into things that you don’t anticipate. For the most part, we’re doing really well with the budget. They found some sort of unidentified well, or something, where they’re digging the elevator shaft. They brought the soil scientists back out and they examined it.”
The well has since had cement work and several windows have been bricked over.
The Plymouth Redevelopment Commission approved a change order for the project during their last meeting that resulted in a $35,000 reduction from the project’s budget. Surrisi explained that $100,000 in contingency funds has been built into the budget and only $4,000 or $5,000 has been billed against that.
