Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $45,618.00 contract with Antler Construction, a $4,561.80 (10%) construction contingency to cover potential contract change orders for a total project budget of $50,179.80 to renovate the kitchen at the Cobblestone Farm per Bid #4057.
Cobblestone Farm is heavily used for events such as weddings and other large special events. Since the construction of the barn in the 1980's, the use of the facility has increased, and the kitchen requires renovations to better serve large catered events. Additionally, there is no separate access to the kitchen, so that food and trash must be carried through the main dining area while events are underway. To improve functionality, a dumb waiter and trash chute will be installed, and the space will be reconfigured to better accommodate the level of use.
The Cobblestone Farm Barn Association and Historic District Commission (HDC) staff, have been informed about the project and have provided input, however, as this work is interior to the barn, review by the HDC is not required.
