Update/Discussion of Roof Projects & Budget Documents

Mr. Donaldson explained that Eversource rejected the NRAC application because a previous

application filed in 2023expired in October 2025, per Eversource you have to wait a year before

reapplying. Mr. Donaldson stated the he spoke with the superintendent and decided to proceed

with activating the system. If the NRAC was in place, any over production would have been

applied to the next months invoice, however without the NRAC in place Eversource will payout

approximately 4-4 cents per kilowatt. Mr. Donaldson explained any overproduction will be

minimal as the production is only 40% of the building use, therefore it will be rare to have

energy to sell back. Mr. Donaldson stated that he is waiting to hear back from the electrician to

activate the system but expects the system to be operational within the next two weeks.

Mr. Donaldson provided an update for central office stating that Garland is waiting to hear from

a state vendor with a quote to complete testing and torquing of snow guards. Once the punch is

complete the project can be closed out.

Mr. Donaldson stated once the solar is installed and punch list is completed the project at Juliet

Long could also be closed out.

Mr. Donaldson stated that the legal agreements for the Gales Ferry School have been finalized

and has been sent to the Mayor for signature.

Mr. Bonin asked what the status is of the final reimbursement for central office project and when

will that be submitted. Mr. Salinas stated that STV is waiting on the state to approve change

order number one and currently has no information on a timeline from the state. Once the change

order has been approved the final submission can be made.

Mr. Bonin asked what the status of the Gold Seal Invoices that have not yet been paid is, Mr.

Salinas stated he is waiting for Gold Seal to send the corrected change order.

Later in the meeting Mr. Donaldson stated that the contract with STV was over as of June 30th,

therefore STV will be submitting a proposal to complete the remainder of the work on the three

roofs.
