Fire Station Panel Approves $8,331 Change Order

Other Committee · Meeting of August 26, 2026

Northborough's Fire Station Building Committee pushed its weather-tight completion target to September 18 and lost its vice chair to resignation. Vice Chair Amanda Nizlis stepped down citing "increasing professional applications and personnel commitments," with the committee planning to address the vacancy next meeting. Project representative Todd reported just over $16 million paid to date against a $31 million total, with $1.94 million in contingency remaining.

Members approved Potential Change Order 27 for $8,331.67 covering boulder removal beyond the contractor's allowance. Route 20 will see nighttime lane shifts starting the following Monday for about a week, tied to utility work, with final paving expected in late October. The committee closed by voting to enter executive session over "collective bargaining and litigation" strategy tied to the construction timeline.
