Discussion: Town Administrator Boynton explained the challenge with this five day project is the need for the building to be vacant noting the Town will minimize the disruption as much as feasible.

Mr. Boynton explained that this project is under MGL 25A and this work was stipulated in the language in the original contract and approved by Town Counsel.
