David Morais of Kaestle Boos Associates
David Morais updated the SSBC with the following Project Update (September 28, 2010 Architect’s Report attached):
Discussed was the following: Insulated-Core Metal Wall Panels – a substitution to use Reynobond by Alcoa verses the insulated type panels that were specified was submitted. KBA finds this product to be an equal to those specified once Consigli incorporates the required insulation into the proposed system which they have acknowledged would be done. KBA recommends support of this substitution. There will be no change in cost.
The Standing Building Committee accepted KBA’s recommendation of the substitution to use Reynobond by Alcoa.
Signage – A substitution was requested at the signage package meeting to use plastic letters in lieu of the cast aluminum in specific locations. The plastic letting would be used above 7’0” and that metal vertical lettering be used under 7’0”.
MOTION: That the Sharon Standing Building Committee accept the Architect’s (KBA) recommendation to change the type of signage in specified areas for a potential cost savings - (Wolk/Smith) – unanimous
