Building Committee
If you are looking for the Town of Pepperell Building Department, - for building, plumbing, electrical, permits, try here.
Since the Annual Town Meeting approved the request to create detailed designs and construction bid documents, the Building Committee, Owner's Project Manager, and Architect have been very busy.
On September 13, 2022 a progress report was provided with detailed designs nearing completion. A slide presentation is available below and a recording of the meeting will be posted on Pepperell Community Media's video on demand service in the near future.
In October, at Civic Engagement Night, a brief synopsis of our efforts was also provided.
On December 13th, at 7 pm in the Albert Harris Center, an in-person presentation will be made to update the community on our progress. We are currently at 75% of detailed design and will be completing the designs in December. In the new year, the project will be put out to bid in time for an Annual Time Meeting vote on financing construction.

The Town is reviewing the conditions of all its buildings and in particular the police station, both fire stations, the DPW Highway facility, the Peter Fitzpatrick School, and Town Hall. There is extensive deferred maintenance in each location and determining whether to repair, renovate, or replace these properties will require effort and advice from across the community.
This committee will be made up of citizens and staff members and will have calendar year, appointments.

Owner's Project Manager Selection
The Owner's Project Manager (OPM) is critical to a successful construction project. Required under state law for construction projects exceeding $1.5 Million dollars, the OPM provides critical services to support the Town in decision making regarding defining business requirements, site selection, designer selection, contracting, verifying credentials of contractors, etc. Perhaps most importantly, the OPM provides services the town will have difficulty conducting on its own and can therefore keep a project moving efficiently and effectively - saving the community real money in projects of this scale.
