East Lyme to consider additional $2.17 million for new police building

After receiving construction bids and tallying additional costs in recent weeks, the committee overseeing renovations for the town’s new police building unanimously voted Tuesday to move forward with a $7.17 million plan to complete the project. The Board of Finance agreed in early 2019 to allot $5 million toward the current project, which voters later approved at referendum, to purchase and renovate the former 30,000-square-foot Honeywell office building at 277 West Main St. into a consolidated space that would host a new police facility, as well as the town’s dispatch center, fire marshal’s office and emergency operations center. After factoring in the $2.7 million the town has paid to purchase the 277 West Main St. building, and the $3 million construction bid from Noble Construction & Management of Centerbrook — the lowest of nine bids submitted to the town late last month for the project — the Public Safety Vision Committee decided last week it also would recommend that an elevator cab be installed during renovations, adding approximately $200,000 to the bottom line.
