The purpose of this meeting was to review the schedule that the submitted by the Contractor.
Cottage Street School: Mr. Joe Maggiore gave an overview of the schedule. There are items that are inaccurately reflected. The electrical contractors are at 60% complete. The schedule reflects that they have completed the punch list. Balancing and air testing has not been completed and are noted to be 100% complete. The site work is not completed. The carpet contractor was on site on October 4, 2003. Their work is not completed and may result in a coordination problem with the installation of the lockers. Mr. Maggiore stated that the temporary occupancy permit references the punch list dated September 30, 2003. There was discussion of the completion of the fire alarm system with the booster. Mr. Maggiore stated that the sub contractor communication has been increasing. Member Croteau asked if the percentages that were listed in the under punch list work were correct. Mr. Maggiore stated that the percentages were not accurate.
Mr. Maggiore asked for direction for committee for the closure for the Cottage Street School. The members of the committee discussed critical items as they related to life safety and access issues. The committee discussed the installation of the booster for the fire alarm system.
MOTION: To direct SHR to write a deductive change order to DF Pray in the amount of the booster for the Cottage Street Elementary and to contract with Eastern Electronics directly to install the booster into the Fire Alarm panel. SHR would then bill this amount (not to exceed $1200 inclusive) to the Sharon Building Committee. (Gladstone/Gilligan - unanimous)
There was also discussion regarding the access issues throughout the school. DF Pray will need to have several workers onsite for the next several weeks to complete the items that are affecting the handicap access.
East Elementary School - Mr. Collins reviewed the schedule and discussed the new dates for completion of the C wing which is now 1/23/04. The contract date for this work is August 23, 2003. The "C" wing must be completed prior to the school department releasing the A & B wing.
The committee felt that the schedules were deficient and were submitted to meet the deadline that was established by the construction counsel.
The construction at the East Elementary School is progressing slowly and will not be done for November 1, 2003. The committee asked if the building was being closed for the upcoming winter season.
The committee discussed the release of lien certificates that were requested by both jobs.
The committee asked about the items that were needed for completion of the punch list for items D & E. Mr. Wertz asked about the covered walkway and the use of it throughout the winter season.

Investigation of the walls will occur in the future. Both Mr. Collins and Wertz stated that the air filters are being monitored and are changed as necessary to insure.
