Re: Supplemental Appropriation
Acct * Q05L0~- 55020
This is a supplemental appropriation for the Clark Lane Middle School Chiller Replacement
that was approved by the RTM on 02/06/2023 in the amount of $802,000.
Since the appropriation, Waterford hired an engineering firm to produce specifications and
conduct an RFP. The RFP resulted in five competitive bids ranging from $840,445 to
$1,033,351. The tabulation of those bids are attached.
Engineering Services $ =. 26,850
Low Bid $ 840,445
10% Contingency $ 84,045
Latest Estimate $ 951,340
Original Appropriations $ 802,000
Supplemental appropriation $ 149,340
The original estimates that were produced were produced by an engineering firm,
however, market conditions have just seen significant escalation in costs. We are seeking
an additional appropriation of $149,340 to bring this project to a closure.

Mr. Brule:
It would seem the entity(s) proposing the construction and operation of a data
center on Millstone Point are not to be trusted, based on observed past
performance, leadership and financial considerations. There is demonstrated
failure in attempting similar projects under NE Edge, LLC and its predecessor,
GotSpace, led by Thomas Quinn.

There are reasons these entities have failed in their attempts to build data
centers in other towns - Bozrah, Wallingford, Groton and Montville. Throw in
the impact on our energy infrastructure, noise, health, demand on town
services and | believe there is a strong case for rejecting the approval.
Who will compensate towns people for their lowered property values?
i join those who stand against the data center and emphatically state my
stand against it.
Regards,
BJ Ferro

This letter is in regards to the data center that the developer Thomas P. Quinn and his company N.E. Edge
want to construct on the beautiful shoreline of Waterford CT. | am calling into question Mr. Quinn's competence
as a developer of this (horrendous) project.
| want to begin with a short timeline: Thomas P. Quinn, has been employed by and managed a total of 3
companies in 3.5 years: They are Verde Group, Got Space and N.E. Edge.
Beginning in 2019 Thomas Quinn was CEO of Verde Group LLC. They had secured site approval with
Montville to put in a data center but failed to break ground. Ultimately, it had an unsuccessful end. Verde
group was sued in July 2020 and again in Sept 2020. Charges in the case included: breach of fudiciary
duty. Breach of contract. Breach of good faith. Unjust enrichment and more. (New London Day 9/19/24 — Sten
Spinella.)
In December 2021 the case was finally settled by Hartford Superior Court for 33.8 million dollars. Recording {to
Thomas Quinn, he was not named in the settlement. . However, he was still listed as.CEO along | with Joel.
Greene.
in January of 2021 Thomas Quinn left Verde and started a new company, called Got Space with Nicholas
Fiorillo. During this time Thomas Quinn was a lobbyist for the CT DATA bill that was ultimately signed July
2021.
In December of 2021, less thana year after he started Got Space, Quinn left again and formerly started uM E..
Edge. :
December 28.2022 (approximately a year after leaving Got Space) Quinn is sued by Got Space CEO Nicholas
Fiorillo, former partner with him. (dockets,justia.com) Noted: there are over 90 defendants named in this :
case. And although a very large defendant pool, it is still a lawsuit and will be dragged on through the court aoe
system, presumably at a cost fo the defendants, as well as * their: time.. Also noted: ‘ George MeLaughiin, CEO of wns

surrounding Waterford have decided not to do business with him. One, Montville, sued his former company,

DATA bill. It appears he has financial. vested interests in Seeing data centers put in. But, the question is
this. Who will benefit the most from the data center at Millstone? Mr. Quinn lives in Rhode Island, he will not
be around to hear the noise, observe the wildlife deterioration, deal with the traffic, pay property taxes. He will
make a handsome profit with no tax, and if or when N.E. Edge is unable to make good on their promises to
Waterford, he can leave and start another company, as evidenced by his former behavior in the past. 3.5
years. [s this what Waterford wants? Is this what Waterford needs? -
“During the (Groton townhall) meeting, Councilor Portia Bordelon said that while she supported data centers,
she was not convinced it was perfect for the town. Bordelon added she had not seen (Thomas) Quinn
complete a project anywhere, which raised questions about moving forward, and wanted to see one of Quinn’s
projects developed and then see the impacts of the project before he proceeded with building in Groton. “it’s
strictly process, transparency, liability and the financial cost that it can create for the town," she said. “I have
been looking at the track record in front of me and it has not been to the level of rigor that | initially anticipated,
| don’t think Groton should be the forerunners on that and take the liability and the risk.”
www.datacenterdynamics.com/ February 22, 2022 by Dan Swinhoe
Why should Waterford take the liability and the risk?

Dear Superintendent Giard, Members of the BOE, BOF and RTM:
As you may or may not know, Great Neck Elementary School students have been given extremely limited outdoor recess
multiple times this year due to flooding on the fields. The fields and playground area at the school do not drain properly,
which is resulting in decreased outside playtime. The parents, guardians and, most importantly, students at Great Neck
Elementary School are urging you to work together to address the issues affecting the playground area. Unless the
underlying issue is solved, the rubber matting under the play structures will have to constantly be replaced, and students
will continue to have days without a proper recess.
General Statute of Connecticut Section 10-2110! states that, in addition to lunch, “each student enrolled in elemeritary
school time devoted to physical exercise of not less than twenty minutes in total.” When students are sequestered to a
small indoor area such as the gym, they are not given enough space to meet this requirement of “time devoted to
physical exercise.” Additionally, when the grass is too wet or is covered in snow, children are not allowed to be on the
grass nor the playscape. This leaves them to the very limited play area on the blacktop/basketball courts. Students are
forced to use this space to walk in circles around the perimeter of the black top for their recess because play space is so
limited. Kids also must wait in long lines to shoot a basketball.
Natural sunlight helps reset our eyes, increases focus, and brightens our moods. In addition to the benefits of natural
light, students greatly benefit from moving their bodies. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
without a proper recess, students are more likely to become restless in the classroom which will result in lower student
outcomes and an increase in disruptive behavior.
We are urging you to take steps in addressing this issue and see what can be done to permanently fix the field’s drainage.
These muddy conditions are posing a safety hazard to those walking around the school grounds and are reducing our
children’s ability to engage in physical activity to their fullest potential. We are requesting a vote on adding this cost to
the next budget cycle.
