MOTION:        To authorize the architect to accept the proposal from UTS in an amount not to exceed $9,000.00. (Wolk/Benjamin - unanimous)

 

Mr. Scarlata presented to the committee a potential color scheme.  This color scheme was based upon the recommendations that were developed by the senior center consultant.  The building scheme will be based on a common theme that this is one building. 

 

FF & E & Technology:  A meeting will be set up with the users to discuss the priorities as the design exceeds the budget.  

 

 

Cottage Street Elementary School:

There was discussion regarding the status of arbitration.

The committee discussed the status of punch list work and open items that have not been completed.

 

East Elementary School

HV-1 - a letter has been received from Anania regarding the replacement of HV-1

Roof - RJ Kenney will be on site August 2, 2006

 

 

HVAC- Middle School

Fraser is doing the final inspections on the vitaulic fittings.  There were about 40 sections that needed to be repaired or replaced.  The insulation installer will be back on site this week.  Mr. Melone asked if we could release retainage for the electrician.  It was the consensus of the committee to reduce the retainage amount to $100,000.  The Committee does not determine what amount of retainage is returned to the various subcontractors.  This is the responsibility of the general contractor.   

 

Roof  Project – Middle School: 

The work is progressing, there was a question regarding the completion of the project in time for the beginning of school.  The portion of work to be completed last is the auditorium.  There was discussion regarding the possibility of the roofers union going on strike on July 31, 2006.  The Committee gave direction to the architect to put Silktown on notice if the workers failed to show up and properly staff the job.  The Committee reviewed the change request for the roof drain.

 

MOTION:        To accept the change to go to a retro-fit the drain unit for a net of $105.00 per drain and not install the sleeve. - It should be noted on the change order that if the bowls were damaged by the contractor then they will bear the cost of the repair. (Wolk/Benjamin 7-1-0 (Slater opposes)

 

Wilber School:

The walk-through on July 20th was postponed due to the delay in the bid date due to the failure on the part of the architectural firm to produce the specifications in a timely manner.  The bids are due on August 24th and the Committee will meet on August 29th.   There was an open meeting to present the project to the public.  

Member Baskin gave an overview of the process of the Wilber Revitalization Committee and the status of the RFP.  

 

The meeting adjourned at 9:00pm
