Mold remediation work at the Jamesport Community Center will be completed well before July 1, allowing the town to start several popular summer programs there on time, according to town engineer Ken Testa.
However, the job will cost about $5,000 more than anticipated, because a hidden bathroom that nobody knew about was discovered in the basement as the work began.
The town awarded a $26,950 contract to Middle Island-based Duraclean on an emergency basis May 31, after no bids were received on the project the week before. Duraclean was one of four companies that submitted informal estimates for the job last Month, and its proposal was the least expensive of the four.
