The installation of the new Bell woodshop dust collection system is well under way with a large part of the collector building, air ducts and electrical work completed. The dust collector has now arrived and is being settled into its final location. At the Member / Director exchange held on Monday December 6, 2010 a comment was made that justification for the increased project cost had never been reported. After the meeting I returned to my office and located this comment included in the April and May 2010 Building and Infrastructure reports; “During the engineering process it was determined that if the woodshop was ever expanded, the current collection unit sized for the shop would not be large enough. This being the case we are currently getting quotes for the installation of a larger unit so future dust collection issues will not present themselves.” I believe this comment satisfactorily answers the question as to why the project cost increased. (Approx. 36k) Contractors are Air-Energy for the dust collection unit, Ken McIntyre Construction for the equipment building and ducting, and Accel Electric for the electrical work. (Project Cost – $169,094)
