3.  PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Winnie Harrison commented on the flood in the seventh and eighth grade wing in the High School.  She states that she is not surprised because there have been ongoing leaks and repairs in both buildings.  She states that this is not only about shoddy construction but that it is also about shoddy inspections.  She states that the building was obviously not properly inspected before students were allowed to occupy the buildings.  She questions the cost of the repairs and who will be responsible for the cost.  She is disturbed that Jack Healy, Chair and First Selectman, Leo Paul did not mention the flood at the Tuesday update meeting with the Board of Selectman on April 15^th.   She is also doubtful about the Building Committee’s concern for the student’s safety.  She mentions the parking lot issue and the issue of public trust.   Tony Crowe states that the track championships are the biggest event in the league and the parking lot would be a huge help.

Report from Jeff Zullo on BOF Communication

Jeff Zullo stated that he sent a report in to the Board of Finance and updated them.  He states that he received communication from Plumb Hill Playing Field Board of Directors with regard to the school parking lot.  They are encouraging the Building Committee to facilitate the plan and build the parking lot as expeditiously as possible.  He also received communication from Tony from Berkshire Championships for hosting at the school this year and one of the limitations is the lack of parking.  He states that the parking lot is a critical issue that needs to be facilitated.  He states that the Board of Finance is also supporting the building of a parking lot within the school committee budget.  Discussion of Plumb Hill ensued.

Report from Gary Waugh on BOE Communication

Jack Healy, Chair states that he received an email from Gary Waugh and that he is concerned about the condition of the campus and housekeeping issues.   Jack Healy, Chair instructs George Graikoski to get the contractors to clean up the campus immediately.  William J. Buckley, Jr. states that the contractors should be instructed tomorrow to clean up the debris before Monday and if they do not, then O&G should have it cleaned and take the clean up charge off of the contractor’s retainage.  Jeff Zullo states that he attended the BOE meeting last week and that the BOE was interested in working with the Building Committee on a dedication ceremony for the new buildings sometime during the graduation timeframe. 

Report from Jack Healy on BOS Communication

Jack Healy, Chair reports that he reported on the contingency, the punch list items and the release of some of the FFE items.

Correspondence

Jack Healy, Chair states that there was a letter from Aquarian to a resident about the parking lot issue and the potential for impact on the ground water or the wells and that it is their opinion the construction of a parking lot would pose no further hazard to the ground water.  He will send a copy of the letter to each member.  He states that the letter is part of the Board of Selectmen’s packages.

5.  ARCHITECT/CONSTRUCTION MANAGER UPDATES

Budget (O&G)

George Graikoski of O&G hands out to the members of the Committee the following reports:  Construction Manager’s Monthly Cost Control Report for the High School and the Intermediate School; Change Orders by Trade Contractor for the High School and the Intermediate School and Herbert S. Newman and O&G Final Punch List – Interior Bldg for High School and Intermediate School.

Jeff Zullo leaves at 7:39 PM

Jack Healy, Chair inquires about the water in the school.  Tony Crowe states that it occurred around 2 AM on Monday morning and that the entire middle school wing had three quarters of an inch of water.  George Graikoski states that a UV solder joint let go.  He states that Titan Mechanical came out that morning to look and that Tony Crowe had the water under control and the school cleaned.  He states that Tony Crowe took pictures and they are working with Titan Mechanical’s insurance company.  George Graikoski states that it was all pressure tested and inspected and that the unit has been running for a year now.  George Graikoski states that there was no evidence of a mineral issue in the water.  Discussion ensued.  Peg Perusse will get the pictures to the members of the Committee.  Bob Blazek would like the other soldered joints checked as well.  George Graikoski states that it is still under warranty for the work.

Schedule Update (O&G)

George Graikoski goes over the punch list report with the members of the Committee.  The reports are discussed in detail.   Jack Healy, Chair would like a date certain for the work to be done from each contractor.  A. Brooks Fischer states that he has not seen the document that George Graikoski handed out this evening.  He would like time to look at them.  He would also like to see a concurrent document that consists of the items not on this list but previously discussed.  He would also like to sit down at a meeting to discuss these items and have the Building Committee make the final decision on some of these issues where there is no agreement.  William J. Buckley, Jr. states that it is not O&G’s or Newman’s job to let the contractor do something different than the contract documents require the contractor to perform.  Their job is to let the Building Committee know and the Building Committee will make the final decision on these items.  It is decided by the Building Committee to have a special meeting in May to address these issues.  Jack Healy, Chair will get the date of the special meeting to all the members by email.   George Graikoski mentions some of the items on a separate list that he did not bring tonight.  Some of the items on the list include the railings, the ramps, the deflection tracks, the doors and the placement of the air conditioners.

Buckley, Jr. states that these issue items should be done at a special meeting and the Committee members need to go around the school and look at the items as a Committee and make decisions.

William J. Buckley, Jr. withdraws his motion.  Bob Blazek withdraws his second.

Buckley, Jr. states that Lynn Chapman spent a lot of time on the list.  He also states that he heard from the public that fitness equipment was purchased and the nurse’s items were not.  He states that he would like to add the nurse’s expenses to the list but not to remove any of Lynn Chapman’s items for this evening. Jack Healy, Chair states that he is not supporting any FF&E now because of some other issues that have not been resolved and that the end of the school year is close and he is concerned about spending any more money.  Mac Bramley feels that Lynn Chapman should not micro-manage the list of the school and the Board of Education.  Tony Crowe states that the lead time for the media center items is long and it needs to be ordered quickly.  Bob Blazek is also concerned about other issues and thinks that something should be approved but not everything this evening.  Stacie Kavle, Vice-Chair agrees with getting the media center items passed tonight since it is important.
