4.  COMMUNICATION

 

Report from Jeff Zullo on BOF Communication

Jeff Zullo reported to the BOF last Monday night.  He gave them a status update. He states that an email from Betsey Glassman was read into the record at the meeting calling for an audit of the project due to the fact that she believes that the Building Committee has overrun its budget and that if the parking lot is built they will be using excess town funds outside the project.   He states it was a request to the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance to call a meeting to initiate an audit of the project.  Jeff Zullo states that the Board of Finance declined and took no action.  William J. Buckley, Jr. thinks an audit is a good idea to prove that they are wrong.  Discussion ensues.   William J. Buckley, Jr. asks the Chairman if there are any vacancies on the Committee.   Jack Healy, Chair states that there are two alternate vacancies. 

 

 

Motion:   William J. Buckley, Jr. moved that the Building Committee recommend to the Board of Selectmen that they appoint Betsey Glassman and Winnie Harrison to fill the vacancies on the Committee.

So moved:   Seconded:  Lynn Chapman for discussion

Discussion:  Jeff Zullo does not feel that it’s up to the Board of Selectmen to solicit candidates to fill the positions rather it is for the Building Committee to determine who should be on the Committee.  William J. Buckley, Jr. states that who better than the Building Committee to know which residents attend the meetings.

 

Motion:  Bob Blazek moved the question.

So moved:   Seconded:  Jeff Zullo

Motion:   Jeff Zullo moved to ask the Board of Selectmen to appoint Peg Perusse to fill the vacancy on the Committee.

So moved:   Seconded:  Lynn Chapman

Discussion:  Peg Perusse states that she would be willing to fill the vacancy.  William J. Buckley, Jr., questions Jeff Zullo about his choice to make a motion that contradicts his prior argument on his motion.  Jeff Zullo states that because he can ask Peg Perusse tonight if she is interested in the position that that makes a difference.   Bob Blazek feels that because she has worked for the school for all these years that her appointment would be prejudicial.    Jack Healy, Chair would like to move this along because there are a lot of things to cover this evening.

Report from Jack Healy on BOS Communication

Jack Healy, Chair reported that Leo Paul, First Selectman got an approval from the State Traffic Commission and that it was filed on the land records but that he has not seen it.   He gave the BOS an update on the parking lot, the soil conditions, the concrete and the overall status of the project.   He also told them that the project is under budget.  He states that Betsey Glassman did come to the Board of Selectmen’s meeting and that a similar letter was read to the BOS that was read to the BOF.   He reported on the procedure and the bidding for the parking lot.

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 & Partners/O&G Industries Inc. Final Punch List for the High School and the Intermediate School.  He goes over the reports with the members of the Committee.

George Graikoski discusses his adjustments to the report and states that he did transfer the balance of $41,488 from the Intermediate School to the High School to zero out the High School.   He created a new line item 25-000400.  He states that the balance is from last month as well as O&G reimbursables.  A lengthy discussion ensued of the new report and the problems the Committee is having with reconciling the numbers and understanding the report.  Also a discussion of what he can and can not do with the software ensues.  William J. Buckley, Jr. reads the minutes from the last meeting as follows: Motion:  William J. Buckley, Jr. moved to transfer from the Owner’s Contingency in the Intermediate School, #25-000290, $19, 202.00 into Owner’s Contingency, #15-000290 at the High School.”  and states that he did not ask for a new line item to be set up.  George Graikoski states that he added the new line item to track transfers since it is his understanding that only transfers of up to ten percent are allowed.  William J. Buckley, Jr. states that the reimbursables should stay with the school they were associated with and if they exceed the amount in the school, they should have gone back into Owner’s Contingency.  He states that no one authorized anyone to move reimbursables from one school to another.  Jack Healy, Chair agrees.   After lengthy discussion, Jack Healy, Chair tells George Graikoski to redo the report as per the meeting minutes of June 19, 2008 and the motion passed and to put the reimburseables into the columns and if the report has any negative numbers, the Committee will make a motion at the next meeting to adjust any negative balances.  Jeff Zullo states that the contingency is $461,125.00.  George Graikoski will redo the report for the August meeting.

 

 

Schedule Update (O&G)

The COR punch list is discussed.  A. Brooks Fischer and George Graikoski went through them and the only outstanding COR is Connecticut Carpentry.  George Graikoski states that there will be a sit down with himself, A. Brooks Fischer and Connecticut Carpentry to straighten out their CORs.   One is for hardware and one is for an allowance.  Both CORs are for the Intermediate School.  Discussion of the two CORs ensued.   A. Brooks Fischer states that one is $2,800 and the other is $450. The $2,800 is for the allowance and the $450 is for an additional dumpster.  A. Brooks Fischer disputes the allowance total.  Discussion of the damaged door ensues.  The money is already part of the budget if it is needed.  Jack Healy, Chair wants the meeting and a resolution before August 2nd.  William J. Buckley, Jr. wants the record to reflect that it is August 2, 2008.  George Graikoski and A. Brooks Fischer state that all the COR’s for the High School have been completed. 

 

The processing of COs are discussed.  A. Brooks Fischer states that he got a couple at the end of last week that Newman has to sign off on but he is not sure what O&G has.  George Graikoski states that there are quite a few.  The change order process is discussed.  Jack Healy, Chair wants all the COs done by the end of September.  He states the he is concerned about the contractual obligation with Newman and wants both companies to work on getting the COs done by the end of September. 

 

The punch list items are discussed.  George Graikoski states that General Welding is completed and Spectrum Services started yesterday.  He states that the only contractors left are Titan Mechanical at the High School and Richards Corporation with the landscaping and the sidewalks.  He states that he is working on this. Discussion of the punch list for Richards ensues.  It is for the sidewalks, topsoil and lawn issues.  George Graikoski states that he has several meetings with Richards and that they walked the site with Richards and went over the areas of concern.  They went over what sidewalks need to be replaced.  He states that he can’t find records of the submittal for the topsoil.  He states that O&G has no record of receiving it and A. Brooks Fischer states that Newman never got one.  He is waiting for them to resubmit it.  William J. Buckley, Jr. states that they were the low bidder and that the Committee is entitled to get what was bid.  George Graikoski states that he sent a letter to Richards but did not get a response back in writing.  He states that he did take soil samples and is waiting for the lab results.  He states that once he has all the information, he will go back to Richards to discuss the results.  William J. Buckley, Jr., states that, if there is an issue with the damage to the sidewalks/concrete that was caused by the Town crew in the winter when they plowed the snow, then that bill to repair or replace those areas should be sent to the Town to pay.  Mr. Buckley also wants George Graikoski to put Richards on notice that the Building Committee expects to get what they paid for and that the topsoil has to meet the specifications.  William J. Buckley, Jr. again suggests that the Committee should have a construction attorney on retainer.  Discussion of a completion contractor as a next step ensues. George Graikoski states that he has already spoken to landscapers to come in to do the work if Richards does not and that there is enough money left from Richards portion of the budget to pay for it.

 

The column issue is discussed.  George Graikoski states that he got an email on the column that stated that it is two inches out of plumb and that no remedial action is required for structural soundness.  He further states that General Welding also hired a structural engineer to do a report but he has not seen it.

 

Tony Crowe wants to know if Richards will be correcting the Field Hockey area at the High School.  George Graikoski states that it will be done.

 

George Graikoski states that Titan has a few items that need to be done and that he still needs to talk to them because of a control valve issue.  George Graikoski and A. Brooks Fisher will work on this item together.  There is also some work in the boiler room that needs to be done.  He believes that a thermostat needs to be relocated.  George Graikoski states that all the work will be done by the end of July with the exception of the issue with the values.  He is not sure if that issue is a design issue, an install issue or a factory issue.   George Graikoski will get a hold of Titan to schedule this before the end of the month.  He asks George Graikoski to email this information to Tony Crowe and Peg Perusse as well.

 

George Graikoski states that there are about forty items on the punch list that are split evenly for both schools.

 

Tony Crowe states that the chimney in the High School is below the gym roof and as a result the air current blows the exhaust into open windows and into the intake of the air conditioner.  He believes that it is built according to design and that it is a design issue.  A. Brook Fischer will look into this issue to see if it is working properly.  Tony Crowe states that he will meet with A. Brooks Fischer on this issue and report back to the Committee.

 

Discussion of plugs needed for projectors and other technical equipment ensues.   A. Brooks Fischer states that a lot of technology was added but he will check the drawings to see if any plugs are missing.  George Graikoski states that these plugs are an additional item and not part of the contract.   William J. Buckley, Jr. wants to know how this can happen and states that he remembers making it clear that everyone needed to coordinate their work so this did not happen.  Discussion of the drawings and the specs ensues.  Jack Healy, Chair wants George Graikoski and Peg Perusse to contact Kennedy to see what is needed.

 

William J. Buckley, Jr. wants to know about Stacie Kavle’s issue with the coping/façade issue.  George Graikoski states that there is a meeting for next Thursday, July 24th at 10 AM to go through the sketch.  Jack Healy, Chair states that Stacie Kavle will be present at the meeting.   George Graikoski states that Allied is willing to discuss this issue but it is still their position that the work was authorized and discussed with Peter Bowman of Herbert S. Newman and that they will fix the work for cost.  He states that the cost is $40.000.00.  Discussion ensues.

 

Peg Perusse states that the dehumidifier placed in the basement of the auditorium in the Intermediate School has no drainage and that there is also an issue with the glass.  She states that there are several windows that have chips and cracks and with some windows opening and closing.  A. Brooks Fischer will look into these issues.

 

William J. Buckley, Jr. inquires if the Chairman wrote the letter to John Worthington to authorize a structural engineer from last meeting.  Jack Healy, Chair states that he forgot to write the letter but will take care of it tomorrow.

George Graikoski states that he got a price to paint the stair towers for $20,000.00 and wants to know what the Committee wants him to do while he is painting the ceilings.   A lengthy discussion ensues.

 

 

Motion:   Jeff Zullo moved the Building Committee authorize the Chair to commit to the Construction Manager to paint the stairwells at the Intermediate School at a cost not to exceed $20,000.00 and the funds to be taken out of contingency.

So moved:   Seconded:  Lynn Chapman

Discussion:  Other items that need to be done and the priority of doing this painting over doing other items.   William J. Buckley, Jr., states that Spectrum has a lot of open items on the punch list and the meeting minutes reflect that the Chair wanted those items done by July 11th  and it has not been done.  George Graikoski states that he put them off because he knew there was a meeting tonight.  Frank Simone states that it his personal option that it should be done.   Wayne Shuhi is not sure since he has not seen the overall punch list.  Peg Perusse states that this was a high priority on their list.   Lynn Chapman states that she would not put this before the parking lot or furniture and if there is extra money she would love to see it painted.  William J. Buckley, Jr. does not think that this work should be done until Spectrum finishes the work that needs to be done to the satisfaction of Newman and O&G.

Absent:  Kent Gilyard, Gary Waugh, Stacie Kavle, Vice Chair, Mac Bramley and Leo Paul – Ex-Officio

Abstention:  None

Objection:  Bob Blazek, Jack Healy, Chair, Lynn Chapman and William J. Buckley, Jr.

Ayes:  Jeff Zullo

Motion failed.

 

 

William J. Buckley, Jr. wants to revisit Kennedy Electric.   Jack Healy, Chair states that based on the assurances that he got from the architect and the construction manager that everything was accepted before the retainage was released.  Tonight’s report will be looked at by George Graikoski to be sure that all the items were finished.

 

Lynn Chapman states that in the art room in the Intermediate School there is tape holding the laminate on the counter and wants this put on the punch list.   She feels that it should be under some warranty and that it should be fixed.  Discussion ensues.

 

 

Parking Lot Update (Jeff Zullo & William J. Buckley, Jr.)

William J. Buckley, Jr. states that Ron George is putting together the bidding package and a proposal to comply with the State traffic approval as well as a review of the bids.  There will be a charge of $2,800 for the engineer’s fees.  He would like to know how the Committee would like to proceed with putting the bid package together.  A lengthy discussion ensues.  George Graikoski states that Richards called him with a price for the parking lot of $415,000.00 but that he did not discuss the details with them.  He states that the price of materials has gone up since the last estimate they gave.  Bob Blazek does feels that last month’s motion for the parking lot should have been for $300,000 instead of $200,000.  He states that this was an item he has heard about since day one.  Discussion ensues.  The Committee wants Peg Perusse to contact the State about who can go out to bid and have it be reimbursable. Discussion ensues over last month’s motion to allocate $200,000.00 to the parking lot.  

 

Motion:   Jeff Zullo moved that the Building Committee direct CCA to develop the bid package and provide that to O&G and for O&G to provide to the Building Committee the construction management of the bid package at a fee to be determined.

So moved:   Seconded:  Bob Blazek

Discussion:  Jack Healy, Chair would like to know what it will cost for them to do the bid package.  William J. Buckley, Jr. tells Peg Perusse that she was supposed to call the State for the sequence of events on the bid package.

Jeff Zullo withdraws his motion.

Bob Blazek withdraws his second.

 

After further discussion, it is decided by the Committee to have George Graikoski give Ron George at CCA a list of potential bidders and have Ron George send out the bid package.
