Professionals from Kitchen and Associates and Greyhawk Construction will take five weeks to put together plans for a town hall project that meets Council’s original budget goal of about $11.7 million in construction costs.
Council met with the team of professionals last night in order to hash out a path forward after bids for the project came in several million over budget. Council charged the professionals to outline a plan that meets their budgetary goals while aiming to meet the municipal needs of the township administration, police department and library.
At that point, if the project is back on budget but does not meet the needs of the township, Council will discuss how to meet those needs, members said.
Council also decided to place Township Manager Chris Schultz in charge, overall, of the project with oversight as needed from Council. Members said Schultz would be in charge of deeming what elements of the project design are necessary and which the township could do without.
The professional team is scheduled to present their findings to Council during the Aug. 23 regular Council meeting.
