That's not true. No, it's not. Okay. Okay. Any public participation? Okay. Mike Z. Oh, first up, I'm sorry. Yes. So, uh just want to make a little announcement here. Over the course of the past month, uh we have transitioned some staffing on the project for some good good reasons that I'll tell you about. Um Dan has an opportunity to move into pre-construction for OMG. Uh
003we had one of our construction managers take a leave of absence. Um, so he is going back to doing pre-construction while still um having his hand in some important things like the turf field, which you'll hear from him tonight. But Mike, who's now been on the job for a year and a half or so, uh, was promoted and has taken over the reigns over the past month from Dan. Um, and we brought another to the site as well, Matt Barber. Uh, he's a new hireer project engineer. So, we were maintaining the four-person staff. We were actually going to this was the part of the project where um initially contemplated we were going to be going to a three-person staff, but um with some of those changes, we've felt that, you know, with no no added
004cost, we're going to keep it a four-person team. So, that's the fourperson team that's there. I know you've come to know Mike over some of these past meetings. Um got complete confidence in him leading the team here on out. And I want to just take a minute to just thank Dan publicly. Um over the course of the project when I first came on board, we were still in pre-construction, navigating some um relatively difficult waters from a budget standpoint and trying to maintain a time frame. and Dan's attention to detail and uh knowledge really helped bring the project in uh to be bid, awarded, and really, you know, very well managed over the course of the past 3 years. So, I I really wanted to recognize Dan for his uh positive impact and lasting impact on
005the project and um just, you know, appreciate all the effort and many many hours that you put into the project. Thank you, Dave. We also have a a a lady intern. Yes, we do. Gabby. Yes, we do. We do a just I won't feel long, but we have a an awesome internship program that started with like six or seven. Now we have I think just in building group we have uh 14 and now companywide we brought I think 20 22 or 25 interns in this summer and um we have a a considerable number of full-time employees now that were interns actually uh one of our Matt Barber who's full-time project engineer he was an intern for us last year so it's a it's an amazing feeder program and and we have Gabriella so she's a
006Gabby Gabby I know she doesn't like to sit either she comes to a meeting she's on which is really nice lacrosse player. Y got lacrosse player. That's right. Yeah. So, we got a got a highly energetic team on site. It's uh it's contagious. As opposed to taking a nap. I did not say that. I'm putting words in my mouth. And worked long and hard. Yes. Yes. And he still does. Yep. And you guys are great. And I actually I want to take a moment because Mike under the last year and a half, he's really grown in in what I've seen him take on. The more I gave him to do, the more he could do. And uh and I'm really I appreciate your efforts in really stepping right in and taking over the rings. He's
007got a tough road to hoe to get you to the finish line and uh and he's handling it beautifully. Great. Great. Thank you. Also, he gave me a couple tunnel, but we won't go into that. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. All right. Bye. Do your thing. Hi, everyone. As always, I'll go through the commentary. Happy to answer any questions after I finish up. Um, with respect to the occupied portion in the construction tech lab, uh, the controllers we've been talking about, um, you know, purchased via change order for the dust collection systems have been mounted and powered. Uh we have control wiring to complete ahead of the scheduled startup for the systems uh next week. Um it's a big milestone for the space. Uh now that school is out, we're able to get into various spaces and
008complete some of the items that uh you know couldn't be completed on second shift or during holiday breaks. A few of those items are you know what has been used as the temporary weight room um to the permanent middle school cafeteria. Uh tearing apart some ceilings and those two STEM and maker space classrooms in area E1. so we can install a pipe grid system uh along with removing all the temporary walls that we had constructed ahead of the January occupancy uh to prevent access to the construction areas. Um the middle school building has begun to receive FFN. Uh they had started today in the media center. Uh so we have various vendors uh similar to the phase 2A that will be making deliveries and distributing FFN throughout the space over the next month and then
009through the end of July along with a final FFN mobilization for area H in late August. Um the slideshow um this is a picture here of the OTP resource room on the first floor of the middle school. Uh beneath the floor protection is the newly installed rubber athletic sports flooring which is also the same uh flooring that was installed in the high school OTP room along with the mirrors. Um moving on, this is the reception area in the middle school on the first floor. Just showing some progress of the newly installed wall coverings provided through the painting contractor. All the remaining wall coverings have been installed and then all that remains is the installation of the final base at the bottom there. Moving upstairs to area E. It's a little difficult to tell from the
010picture here, but it's showing some progress of the security glazing film installed on the glass of the or glazing of the hollow metal frames. Uh, this work is now complete and has kicked off the next activity, which is installing the panel signage. Next up here, we have some status of rubber flooring in stair 5. Uh, that is in your building area F and then stair four is also complete as well. Um that would be an area to heat. Uh rubber flooring uh now completed. All that remains in these stairwells is some touch-ups and final cleaning. As we had mentioned during last month's update, the second and third floors of the middle school have been final cleaned. As a reminder, the sequence in the middle school as us walking out the front door and final cleaning
011in that area is nearing completion. um it will time out perfectly for the bulk of FF arriving uh within the next upcoming weeks. Another item that has been discussed frequently here at these meetings is we are continuing to balance the air and water uh systems or air and water related to the HBAC systems. Um once these activities are completed, it will allow us to do the final insulation activities and close the ceilings for good. Now for the fun part. Area H is well underway as you can see here. U steel erection um detailing has been completed for the added structural steel in the auto shop. Uh the metal decking uh is in progress. Uh this specific area as of today is beginning to receive intimacy fireproofing um which is nearing completion and is required ahead
012of the masonry walls being constructed uh which will ultimately then kick off uh the final roofing activities for this building. Next slide here. Same idea. This is in your addition area, your gym lobby continuation. Your little concession bumpout area, uh, leading you to the auto shop. Um, same thing. Structural steel detailing been completed along with the metal decking installations the time of this photo. So, next up here, you're looking at the east elevation of area H. As you can see, the demolition contractors made some significant progress in creating openings in the existing CMU uh to facilitate the installation of new windows, van doors, overhead doors. And then moving around that same corner to the north elevation, which is on the route 8 side of the building, as you can tell, the mason's hydrol lift is
013set up. Uh the miscellaneous metals contractors install all the necessary angles that are needed to support your future curtain wall or window systems along with the carpenter installing some wood blocking for those systems to be secured into. Um you can sort of tell from this picture, but we are continuing with some of the spray foam activities um required at the parapits um cold for metal framing parapits based on the details. Uh all this work I mentioned here needs to happen to install the air vapor barrier system before the masonry contractor built the veneer wall. Uh which fast forward today they're up on the hydrol lift and installing veneer. Um on the inside of area H we are looking at the west wall of the gymnasium. Uh right here you're looking at the the white stuff
014on those columns. Those that's intention fireproofing um you know which since this picture has been taken has been completed. Uh, additionally, the miscellaneous metals contractor has also installed the X bracing you see there um required based on the structural details. As you can see, we have begun to construct the cold form metal framing wall and exterior sheeting at this elevation to close the area off to the environment and continue installing the permanent systems. Moving east on the first floor into the locker room. If you recall, we had to cut the existing slab to facilitate the installation of new underground piping. Uh this slab has been replaced since the last progress update and masonry walls are being constructed as we speak. Uh they are actually nearing completion as of today. Say how old is that photo?
015It's very cold. Um it's two weeks. Not even yet probably a couple weeks. The majority of those walls are already up. Yeah. Um, forgot to mention that once the slab uh was replaced, it allowed our mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection contractors to install hangers uh to support their overhead piping and duct work uh that will be installed once the mason finishes up here in a few days. Uh moving upstairs to the second floor, the mason has completed the elevator shaft uh for elevator number four, the final elevator in this building. Uh there was no elevator in this exact location in the existing building. Um, so there was actually a beam that was running through the future shaft. Um, so what we had to do is the mason had to install walls on the first floor
016on the underside of those beams so we could shore that beam and then the demolition contractor went and he cut the section of beam out to create your your elevator shaft. Uh, up top on the roof of the renovation area here is some progress just showing some extents of the parapits which have been framed and sheaved wood blocking installed as of today. base and tapered insulation, the coverboard, the membrane have all been placed and we are in a dry condition beneath the uh gymnasium and the locker room areas underneath the renovation. Uh which is another huge milestone that that's been completed. Uh next slide here, just reiterating what I just said. Um off of the metal decking there, you got that plastic looking vapor barrier we call it. um you know the base and the
017tapered insulation where it's required, coverboard insulation on and TPO membrane making up the roofing system. Like I said, this this photo was taken a few weeks ago, but it's the roof is is on and it's it's dried in over there. Moving outside, we are preparing for some more concrete sidewalks that will eventually make up your pedestrian walkways in the future middle school parking area. Uh we have actually begun to place the curving area um curving areas of this of this lot along with all the ADA walks. And then over the next, you know, few days and weeks, we're going to continue pouring all the all the flat work. Uh staying within the middle school area, this parking lot is beginning to shape up. Um we are trenching and back filling for electrical conduits for the
018site light poles. We're preparing uh for the installation of the pre-cast concrete curbing and the rain gardens. Uh all these activities are needed ahead of the fine grading activity which is going to need to occur before our asphalt paving date uh in early August. Um it's going to be here before we know it. Work is ongoing in the athletic fields. Uh this picture here shows some progress of the perimeter drain um in the multi-purpose field, but more specifically this is the right field of the baseball field in that area. Uh in the last week, we've placed some fencing sleeves that have been set ahead of the concrete anchoring curb uh which is actually being placed on the baseball side of the multi-purpose field. I think they've already gotten the first and the third baselines placed
019as today. So, it's done. They're working tonight. Um is proceeding. Um next slide here is took this in the soccer field portion of the multi-purpose field. Uh mass work mass earthwork operations at the time of this photo. We're continuing so we can move forward with successor activities, but it's all been uh graded out at this point. And we have some fun drone shots taken in late May. This is uh looking north. Next slide here is looking east and west. Then a nice shot of the athletic fields, which again, this picture was taken in late May and a lot has happened since this photo. Oh, there's no more building and there is no more building and and they have the mound mound is in place there. Yes. Yes. Um just to quickly report on some cost
020and schedule impacts in the period. I'll start with what I have and then Dan can report on the status of the athletic field pricing. Um, in the renovation area, it was discovered that the height of the existing CMU exterior walls along the north, south, and west elevations of the renovation area were not at the heights that we had, you know, assumed to be based on the drawings. Um, we had sent the question in, request for information. Um, and we had proposed a solution to add 6-in studs with kickers back to the roof deck. Um, you know, to make up the difference to where the CMU was supposed to be. Um, we had reviewed it with SLAM. They had said the solution was acceptable and we had to proceed with the work to not delay the
021roofing activities and drying in the space so we could continue working. Um, order of magnitude of this change is is roughly around $35,000 as we had indicated in the cost report. Um, I got an initial cost from them that was around $80,000. I'm working my way down. Um, they just didn't fully understand the scope, but I'm constantly negotiating with them and and that's the number we're we're going to look for. Um, switching gears back to the middle school building. It has a life skills room similar to the high school, uh, where a washing machine was included for the academic program. Uh, it was noticed that there were no plumbing, supply or waste, piping connections noted on the construction drawings. Um, we had asked a question to the design team and they agreed connections were required
022to support the use of the equipment for the space. Uh, the room in question is at a point where the finishes were already installed. Adjacent finishes have now been protected. Concrete slab has been saw cut. Plumbing connections are done, been insulated. We're waiting for the sheetrock to be patched and painted and then replaced the floor for then final clean. Uh order of magnitude of this change is is roughly around $20,000. Um during last month's meeting, we had just made it clear that we are up against time and you know, we've made significant progress in the last period, but we're just continuing to keep our foot on the gas. Um, you know, weather continues to be challenging us um in compressing our durations that were already tight to begin with. Um, but we're working extended hours
023inside the building and out in the site and in the athletic fields uh to keep progressing with the work. Um, you know, we're maintaining our 6 day work week along with opening up for Sunday. For this Sunday for trades to continue working, um, we have the Mason contractor coming in. He's going to focus on building the auto shop walls and then all the necessary support trades that need to work alongside him to build um put the raceway in as the wall is getting built. Um you know, every day matters and the trades out there know that they're showing up every day and we're trying to make this happen. So it's all the good and bad news that I have and I'll move forward today. Thanks. Um so I distributed a copy of the estimate that
024I had shared out in April. Um I took some time to update the figures that are in that but just a general overview of what we have for uh you know in as much as the athletic field trying to get and bear down on the costs. Um so we had to initially release the synthetic turf product and then Liberty Landscaping who is out there doing the uh anchoring curve that Mike mentioned a couple minutes ago. So those PCOS went through uh the top soda went through um and I've been working diligently to bring the balance of those items to the front. Um so as you look at that document, the front page is a summary of all of the costs associated. Um very little change. I think this is pretty much the same thing I
025reported to you last month is that we haven't moved the dollar. We haven't moved the the bar uh too far from uh where I had presented it back in April. It's still just under $6 million mark as far as uh added cost and the you know the return cost of $1.3 million is still relatively the same. On the back side of that document is the cost specific to CJ Fucci. And so I'll draw your attention in the upper, you know, line item breakdown of what CJ Fuji's costs are. Uh I've highlighted, it's pretty hard to see, but there's just a shaded darker gray for when they're already PCOS and executed. So as a reminder, the top of that chart uh reflects the self-perform work. Um there's a couple of things that are grayed out. Uh
026actually only the load out of the Yeah, only the load out is has been resolved. I'm actually meeting with CJ Fucci tomorrow um with the new set of documents, the R1 set of documents. CJ Fucci's prime uh the the project manager I've been working with since starting the project. Um he's their senior estimator as well as their senior PM. he's uh he's been pulled thin and so I've been having some trouble getting his focus back to our project and getting you know getting these things worked through. Um what their resolution to that is is they have another project manager that they're moving into his role to basically bring this cost to resolution. Um but in so doing the savings that we had put out there in not having to do any we have we have
027we have not to date had to take care of any unsuitable material. All of the earth product that was in place has passed the inspection of the geotech simple engineer. But unfortunately, we've seen two additional costs, and I'll just I noted those as new. Um, and that's fortunately taken exactly the same savings that we had hoped to gather. Um, but again, those are just the numbers that he's putting out there and our negotiation um has not really isn't reflected here yet. Um, so not much new to report here except that I did find buyout savings in the in the eagle fence since we met last. Um, but then we added some scope. We realized that we needed to enclose what is the west end of your uh existing stadium field. Um, so that cost a
028few dollars, about 13,000. And then we also wanted to add uh protection on all of the short fence, all the 4 foot fence, that that corrugated product that that lives on top of the top rail. Uh we've added that on all short fence. So the the $20,000 or so that I was looking to save on that line item got replaced in in with new new scope of work. Um the other items are what I provided and it's similar to what I provided back in April is just giving you an update as to where the buyouts buyout is on the remaining items. General welding um didn't get an answer today. I was hoping to on the proposed savings to go to a galvanized steel rail on the long there's that new ramp in lie of the
029uh kind of grand stair. Um, the new site plan has a long ramp and I'm looking to get cost information on that. That's still open. The trade is just slow in response. And then I went through and I provided for you some information on the grading. Again, I'm I'm right at a point where we knew where the cost was a month ago. I'm just looking to ink the deal. uh with result that same comment applies to the grading to the drainage. Um, in the final design and after some discussion with the group, uh, the gates that used to be its sidewalks have been replaced by ballards. And so, um, awaiting cost on ballards for that's what's called site improvements are removable ballards at the main stair that gets into the property or, you know, comes
030off a daily drive and enters the athletic field. And then as you come up that ramp, um, again, they don't want any type of vehicular traffic to get through there unless, uh, you know, unless they have a key and they can remove the ballard out of the way. Um, the other cost or the cost, there was two new costs. One was to export top soil um, in order to get it screened. as they as CJ Fucci looked to the to the property and tried to figure out where they could do the actual physical work of setting up a screener, taking the top soil for the remaining uh areas of lawn and processing that, removing all the stones. Um they don't physically have enough room on the property and they want to move that soil off
031site, process it off site, and move it back again. Um, right now I'm at a number around $55 to $60,000 and they've submitted a cost of 77. Uh, so that was the next item. And then I mentioned the project management and the the sidewalk costs. Um, I'm still carrying a higher number than I believe we would spend in that area, but uh but again, that's to to remain conservative in my approach. AJ Paving just hasn't come up with the number yet. We've just recently revised scope again slightly to uh to add some additional petuminous uh in what is now a driveway to the junior varsity ball field uh required to access the sanitary mantle that's out there. And then lastly, uh TC landscaping has come around to the value that I had in the uh
032in the original scope of work. So that took the first that was my first step in success in getting their number uh negotiated. We are any day now expecting the final design for the shorter wall at which time we can agree on the square footage of you know what is the smaller scope of work and they can give back uh the dollar figures. That number is relatively close as I was looking at what I prepared in April. Uh it was around $60,000 give back and I'm seeing a number now at 55,000. So, my work to continue to get those numbers and get that finalized is ongoing, but uh making some progress and expect to make some serious progress in the next couple of weeks. Bottom line is you're you're still riding where you thought you'd
033be. Unfortunately, the savings that we had hoped to capture, we now have to negotiate again uh relative to additional project management. Just so you know what how we do with the state. Uh we have separate purchase orders which we already have sent out to uh Liberty Landscaping uh Field Turf and uh Fence Company. We're still waiting for the final figures for TC Landscaping and uh Fucci. We haven't done that. So we want to make sure separate it all goes to OMG, but on the purchase order separate. So when we ask for money, it goes into that purchase order account. Did we get any uh resolution on the the block situation? The amount of blocks that we need or don't need or Yeah. So that's where they finally came to agreement on what was in the
034original scope of work. Um right now they're at a cost of$,750 for their labor to all. I'm at a cost of of $20 a square foot. So, we're not far apart on that item. Um, and then again, the last piece of that is getting their engineer drawing for the shorter wall. Mhm. And from an engineer drawing, it's a simple square footage and we can calculate the number out because And then they said they have all the blocks and Yep. Was that verified that they Yep. I went to Colchester and I put eyes on all the block. There is, you know, there's going to be roughly about 3,000 face squaret of block. Anybody knows anybody that's want to give us some money for it? Uh, I've been actually in my new role, there's a few projects
035on the block. Um, that was unended. I hope so. But there's a couple of projects out there that do need retaining walls. So if my architectural teams on those projects are agreeable, um you know, we may be able to find a spot for that block and then, you know, there's other alternatives to retail that product out through our organization that we may be able to capture some some value for what that is. Um, I'm afraid I can't remember exactly what the value of that block is right now, but I I I haven't something for next month yet. Okay. Y So, Dean, theoretically, we could do something with that block if we can't get rid of it. Yeah. Okay. That's all I got. Yeah, you own it. We own it. Delivered to anywhere in Torington. John,
036you're on. Good evening. With the transition from demolition over at Part H to new construction at Part H, we've seen an uptick in the number of tests and inspections. Uh right now, we're tracking uh BL is tracking 23 items. Uh the same generally the same items that we've been tracking. uh it's been waiting for the classes to be dismissed so that OMG's team can get in there and and wrap up a lot of those punch list type related items in the high school. Uh special inspections again with new construction going on. They've been out there a bunch. They've uh they've inspected epoxy anchors, reinforcing cold for metal framing, uh the inumescent paint and the cementitious fireproofing has all been inspection inspected and no deficiencies. Um there's been concrete tests and generally the concrete uh for
037the the building has been very good. These tests for the part H have all come up at least 30% above the uh design uh compressive strength. Startup testing there were there was a science lab fume hoods were tested. They did a smoke test to ensure that it captures the u the smoke in the area of the hood and they were they passed. And then lastly for Connecticut high performance and for construction waste management we're still have we're right around 17% for recycle content for materials and we're at 42% for regionally manufactured products. Uh those are all above the lowle threshold of what we need to meet state requirements. And then construction waste, there wasn't a lot. There was 180 cubic yards of waste generated, 65% recycled. Right now we're at 65.1% for the project as
038a whole. Um 832 tons of waste generated. Uh 541 tons was recycled and um that is it waste. Any questions for John? Next uh phase two application certificate. Have a motion to approve 3,653,997.93. Robin second. Second. Almond. Any discussion? All in favor? I. Mike, you're on again. Uh PCO. Um PCO 566 uh a $0 cost to the project. It's a back charge between trades for some housekeeping uh that was needed in the future middle school parking lot area. Uh PCO 571 window decals area B4 and PR room assign revisions. That's an owner cost of $1,257. If you recall, we had executed a cost for additional room signage a few months ago due to a proposal request uh that was issued by SLAM for some room um room renumbering corrections. Uh we had realized after the
039fact that the window decals were never included in the original PCO uh and are represented in this cost. PCO 573 um owner cost of $4,492. Uh there was an existing tunnel that ran from area H through the existing structure. Um you know when the existing area G building which is now our area H building was separated from your existing area A building. Um you know we were left with an opening in the existing foundation wall of what is now known as area H. Um in review of the structural drawings there were no references on how we were to infill this opening in the existing foundation. uh we had asked the question and the structural engineer had provided us some details on how to close the opening and that is reflected in this cost. Uh PCO
040574 is a small owner cost of $543. If you recall there was a change approved a while back in the curved corridor in the first floor of the high school. Uh we had saved a good sum of money changing from a curved fin tube radiator to straight length radiators um that were segmented in that curved corridor. Um the product had arrived after the January occupancy and they needed about a week for installation. Um the earliest opportunity for install was over the April break um where the work was completed, but there were some custom trim pieces that were needed to conceal the joints um between the radiators and segments. Um and those couldn't be field measured until after the radiators were installed. Um so we created temporary enclosures made from plywood as we could cover those
041joints and that is also represented in this cost. Uh PCO575 is an owner cost of $1,336. As a result of adding the second dust collector for the construction tech lab, uh we had to create openings through the existing drywall um that was already in place so we could accommodate the duck work. Um this resulted in some drywall patches and painting. PCO576 is an owner cost of $1,819. Um when installing the door huger in the middle school, uh we noticed there were some conflicts with the door closers and the wall stops in relation to some adjacent conditions like window sills and cabinets walls. Um we had asked the question and provided floor stops um in lie of wall stops and then we also added a different type of door closer so we could address uh the
042rest of the conditions. uh PCO 577R1. The documents called for us to salvage the existing batting cage and then reinstall it in the high school gymnasium. Uh the existing motor that had raised and lowered the the batting cage. It was observed that it was leaking oil from the drive shaft drive shaft. Um this cost represents the replacement motor along with the electrical circuitry that was not shown on the document but required. What was the cost of that? What was the cost of that? Yeah. Uh in total it was 4,800 bucks roughly. Uh PCO 578 is a CM contingency cost um $5,000. Um in the building phase 2A, there was never a need for us to introduce any sort of MB, which is known as a moisture vapor reduction ad mixture um to the slab on
043grade mix design. Um because there was always a long time when the placement of the concrete or the slabs occurred versus when the flooring was installed or needed. Um flooring materials are very sensitive um relative to moisture content of the substrate that it's on. Um so higher moisture levels lead to adhesive failures, delamination of the flooring, etc. Um you know given the short turnaround time from the area H edition slab on grade concrete pore concrete pour uh to when the new flooring systems were needed uh we had felt it was required based on the schedule. Therefore it was a cost that we had sorted. uh area H concrete slab replacement locker rooms PCO579 is another CM contingency cost of $62,000. Originally we had assigned the general trades contractor to replace the existing concrete slab that
044we had saw cut and removed to facilitate the installation of the underground plumbing. Um during the slab removal there were sections remaining that were not acceptable to structurally tie back into uh when we had replaced it dowling into the existing slab um and locking it into the new slab. Um additionally there were other unforeseen conditions as I had mentioned before related to the existing tunnels. Uh, this scope assignment was originally supposed to be a 1500 square foot trench and fill completed by our general trades contractor, a simple 3-ft wide trench. Uh, and ended up being a a total 3700 ft slab replacement that was completed by the concrete contractor. Uh, it's definitely a large cost, but you know, just so everyone knows, I've been negotiating with the general trades contractor uh for a credit coming
045back to the project since they didn't perform the original scope of work uh for the slab trench infill. And then they were also assigned with the back fill and compaction operations. Um their initial credit back to us was around 15 grand. Um after some conversations uh we were able to get the credit around $42,000. Uh and that is a cost that is currently under review with SLAM and we anticipate bringing it to the next meeting next month. Um PCO 580 is an owner cost of $5,164. In review of the tennis court colors, there was not a standard Torington maroon color. Um, based on review with the athletic department and Mario's help, uh, we had received some direction to pursue the custom color. Um, you know, to put it into perspective over the for the cost.
046Um, a standard color for a drum is like 75 $725 each. Custom color drum is around 1450. So that delta there is around 725 bucks. Um, and the minimum order for a custom color is six drums. Um, so simple math there. That's that's how we got the fifth drums. Um, PCO 581 is an order cost of $2,668. As you're all aware, the permanent weight room is on the second floor of area H, uh, in the renovation building. Uh, temporarily, the weight room was located in the middle school cafeteria during the January occupancy and up until the summer. Uh in order for us to finish that space and allow us time to finish the permanent weight room, um the weight room equipment needed to be stored offsite and then in a trailer uh which was provided
047in this cost. It's just the rental rental cost for the trailer. DC582 was a 0 cost to the project. In the renovation area, we had assigned MJ Daily uh with the sand bedding that was required for the underground plumbing. Uh in an effort to make that process more efficient, we had the site work contractor assist MJ Daily. Uh and therefore, this is a back charge between trades. PCO 583 CM contingency cost for February for May. PCO 584 understands the contingency cost for fall protection uh required on the second floor of the renovation building and then also the high and and low roofs of the addition and the renovation. Um pricing was established based on a unit price that was um identified in the contract. PCO 585 is an owner cost of $2,118 uh in the
048area of the U elevator pit. Um when we went to excavate it the site where contractor encountered an unforeseen condition uh where there was some overpour from the foundation pore of the existing building. Uh this cost accounts for the removal of the excess concrete. Um and additionally the storm and sanitary plumbing piping uh was anticipated to punch through the existing foundation wall um so we could tie in new addition plumbing. Um however the bottom of footing elevation was higher than anticipated to be on the drawings. Um so we had asked the question on how we continue the piping through the new addition and then the response was to tunnel underneath the bottom of the footing and then underpin it as required. Um which is represented in this cost 586 is an order cost of $24,36.
049uh similar discussion like we had before. There was an existing tunnel that ran from area H um to the existing area A building. Uh when we saw cut the slab to accommodate the new plumbing piping, um that piping would end up being perpendicular to that tunnel. Um you know, meaning we were not left with any sides to support the trench for when it came time to back fill it um and review the drawings. Again, there were no references on how we infill these types of openings. Um we had reviewed it with with SLAM and uh we proceeded with the same methodology we had used for continuing the the exterior part of the area H foundation. Um you know so we can move forward with underground plumbing. Um cost includes um site work and concrete activities
050required. Um PCO 587 is a credit coming back to the project in the amount of $24,55. Uh the auto shop space was scheduled to receive a resonance flooring type. It's similar to the flooring that we have installed in the kitchen and the servery and all your your community bathrooms. Um earlier on in the project, we had taken a VE um savings for a substantial amount of money um down in the lower level of the high school. Uh we saw a benefit of doing the same exercise for the auto shop and then it resulted in this credit. Um it actually just instead of it becoming a resonance floor, now it's a sealed concrete floor with vinyl base. Same flooring that you have in the construction uh tech lab, the engineering lab, um things like that. PCO
051588 is in order cost of $4,63. Um, due to an existing condition with those wide flange steel columns that you have in the existing high school gym that remained, uh, the miscellaneous metals contractor had to weld these steel weld these steel plates that we call gusset plates um to the existing flange columns in order for them to install the the contract expiration steel that I'd shown in one of the pictures in the slideshow uh, in the existing gym. PCO 590 is a back charge to the demolition contractor or the concrete contractor to expedite their work due to schedule delays. Um, no cost to the project. It's a back charge between trades. PCO 595 is an order cost of $4,527. In the middle school, we had noticed there were two science labs that did not have
052goggle cabinets. Uh, we had reviewed it with SLAM. who had agreed that they were required and it is represented in this cost. Uh we had also had the general trades contractor install um install them which ended up being cheaper than having the milwork contractor do it. PCO 596 is an owner cost of $2,960. There were two pipe columns that were buried in existing walls um on the this would be the west wall of the gymnasium. Uh when the walls were removed during demolition, the two two pipe columns in question were observed to be damaged. Um the cost reflected is to repair the columns. PCO600 is another back charge to the demolition contractor for the steel contractor to expedite their work due to schedule delays. Again, no cost to the project. It's a back charge between
053trades. Then we have PCO 601. Can you describe it if you don't mind the same way or I'll jump in? So, I've been talking about the masonry claim for some time now. It actually happened back in 20 and as we approach the winter of 232 24 um with the incidents that have occurred at Acronom Masonry, um management has changed over there. So, there was some time delay in getting to the right people to make some final decisions. Um and in an effort to you know clean up that mess as I would was moving off the project and his acronym was ready to remobilize back to the project became the right opportunity to derive my deal. Um the deal I feel is successful. Uh we were able to essentially negotiate something that started in the order
054of magnitude of 300,000. Um they came back down to a number uh before the regime change for lack of another term. uh they were about at 140,000 and I was able to ink the deal about 3 weeks ago, two and a half weeks ago at 95,000 with an additional concession that they they had an an outstanding premium labor uh tally of about 17,000 and uh and uh they reduced that number by just under 8,000. So where I had started ahead in our cost report about 110,000 uh being applied again to the CM contingency uh to resolve that claim the number overall uh again at 95,000 for that particular claim but then I hadn't carried in the cost report the claim for some winter conditions uh I negotiated those out and then again the premium labor
055uh the end all for all prior claims for our mason uh in all work related to the high school summed to a total of 136. So there was about a $25,000 delta between what I had carried in the report, but that's only a shortcoming of what I had carried in the report. Um and I felt good about the relationship as we left it. Um negotiating now with Salman Jr., the son of the former owner of Acronam Sal Senior. Um, as he moves ahead and is now heavily required to finish some some real cracker jackack work in a fast way on your remaining work. Any questions? Uh, can I have a motion to approve all the PCOS? So, second is there. Um, so are they going to try to charge for any extra hours, extra time
056on on what's left? So, I've stepped back a bit. There's there's going to be premium labor required. uh in this phase of work. I know that just be not just before it was probably almost 3 months ago now we sat down and we did what was known as a pull plan and we agreed to the durations that all the trade all the trades needed as they came in to perform this last scope of work. uh where I've left it with Mike and Dave is that if you know if they're not performing to the to the schedule that they agreed upon back in, you know, 3 months ago, then they have no grounds for claim. And just in I mean, we had a a meeting with them with their ownership last week and I I must
057say that they they are putting back and forth. we were able to actually do shift some labor from another one of our projects that they're on that was not as critical that it be done. So, we're I mean they're they're working very well with us right now, I would say. I mean, they're they're making up a little ground as you saw from some of the photos. So, um I would not be surp Well, we know we're bringing them in on Sunday, so we got to pay for that because that was never to be contemplated. Um, so I there will be some premium we're going to have to pay, but we're going to keep that as minimal as possible based on what they owe us in the contract. Any additional comments? All in favor? I next
058one. Uh, just as every month I give you the analysis as of uh May, not including here, $149 million we have spent. Next one, uh, progress payments. Uh we received uh proper payment $18. So the cash that we have received is $111 million $111 million 92,14509. Again remember they're holding retainage of uh close to $10 million. I think we'll get that 6 months after the project is closed. Okay. Payment of invoices. First one, excuse me one second. BNL $7,246.50 7276 Yeah. Sorry. I got to write it. That's Oh, that's a crooked four. Yeah. Yeah. So, freaking fraction. Uh, he's only the meatball. Remember that. I have a motion to approve Arman and Doug. Thank you. All in favor? I I opposed. Okay. Next one is U slam. This is their regular payment 133,87875. Have a
059motion to approve Donna and Armon. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Next one is the remember uh the work that SLEM is doing on the fields. Uh the purchase orders for $129,000. We already paid $108,000. This is $10,320, which leaves over 7 over $9,000 left. Can I have a motion to approve 10,320 Robin? [Music] All in favor? I next one is innovative. Second half innovative engineering for $1,3902. Have a motion to approve. Doug second Robin. Thank you. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Next one. Tri-State. Their first one for $1,118. Have a motion to approve. Aman and Doug. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Next one. Again, uh Tri-State for $914. Uh have a motion to approve. Almond and Doug, the dynamic duo will in favor I. Next one is the Cington Board of Ed
060for their temporary heating of $9,864.32. Have a motion to approve. Okay. Donna and Arman. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Next two. Uh contractors home appliances. What what this is the foods lab. We thought we're going to bring over two dishwashers and they were just shocked to death. So, so contractor appliances is doing all of the uh uh dishwashers and and u uh washing machines in the middle school and the high school. So, I called them and they delivered. Uh it's been delivered and we're just looking them up. So I have a motion to approve $2,30. So move Robin second. John. Okay. All in favor? Okay. Next one is total fitness. Total fitness was the one that we bought all of the fitness equipment. They put it in the middle in the in the middle
061school calf. I uh had them uh take it apart, put it in the uh trailer. So, this is half of what them then they're going to come back in August, put it together, take put it together. So, I wanted them to take it apart, put it together, so we don't have any. So, they're looking for $1,450. Uh could I have a motion to approve Total Fitness? Donna. All in favor? I opposed. Okay, next one. Uh, second. I give it I always give it to you the project budget summary uh that lists uh everything uh and we're still in good shape. So, uh yeah, just want to give it to you. The next one is uh I have some uh let me just go over in the paper it said that the city's $70 million spending
062plan represents a zero increase and the board of eds $76 million in expenses is also flatfunded. The only increase is 1.6 million to debt surface to cover bonding for the new school. Totally inaccurate. Professor, can you give us a lesson lesson in uh reading budgets? So these these budgets are from the city, not from me. Uh wait till everybody gets it. First page is this year's next year's budget. I circled the principle and interest and and uh It adds up. And then the second page is the principle and interest of last year. Total difference $59,294. Okay. So, break it down. Break it down. We did not encourage a $1.6 $6 million increase in the budget because of our bond issues. What what they did do is what they should have done and they did. And
063when we opened up the bids and all that, we received the city received a premium of 1,566,859 58, which they have put on as revenue to the budget, which is fine. But don't say that we paid 1.6 6 million additional in debt service for the schools. Total 59,000 is the increase in the debt service. So they they paid the debt service but they got the premiums correct which almost offset the whole offset. Right. So the budget went up from last year. This year's budget is 150 million 580 169 on the bottom. Last year was 149 019309. Guess what the difference is? Yeah. 1,568 860. Yeah. And we got back and you got the same thing almost the same amount. Okay. Okay. They netted the budget out. You wouldn't have an increase. So they did not
064speak of the premium they received, but they did speak of the money that they paid, right? But which is it shows on the debt on the bond issue. So just for instance, if you looked at two budgets, the pension on there was 15 million last year. It's 163 this year. It went up $1,75,63. The tax collector was 645,000 last year. It's $891,000 this year. $246,000 went up. fire department was 6,485 last year, 6,800 this year, $315,000. Just those three numbers add up to $1.6 million. So, I just want to make sure that we know that we did not cause an increase in the debt service. We got money back because of the premium of the good-looking guys up front that they liked that they gave us the premium of them. And remember the premium has
065been given in the last 3 years and I have to use it against this service. So I just wanted to to clear the air. Now correct me if I'm wrong. There has been no effect on the mill rate in 26. Correct. For the school. Correct. Even though everybody says it went up 1.6 million. Says well everybody thinks the mill rate went up because of school and You can see that's not true. Just look at the two two uh things. Just want to be correct. We do a lot of things wrong sometimes. Mar, but this is not kosher. So, just want to let you know. Okay. Next one. Discision discussion of open house. Mar. Yes. Obviously, the public wants to see the building. Um, and they certainly have a right to it since they paid for
066it. So, we want to do that obviously in a way that's doesn't create a lot of work for Dean and his guys and it doesn't interfere with obviously the educational process and all of that stuff. So before we can settle in a day, I think we got to settle in a month, right? I mean, are are you trying to do an open house once the facility is construct fully constructed? Not the fields, I don't think the general. So that sounds like October to be safe. So, um I was think are there any Monday holidays in October? Columbus Day. And I'm thinking Dean, you tell me maybe you have an open house on a Sunday. So that way any disruption or dirt or you know if it gets dirty in any way, you guys still have
067Monday to clean it. Monday. That would be it. They don't work Monday. They don't work on that month. No. Okay, that was a good idea until it wasn't. Um, what would be the best day then? A Saturday. Yeah, I would not necessarily assume a Saturday would be a best day. So, you have Sunday to clean and then you're there on Monday. Okay. What if you get closer to So, you think in October? Yeah, because we want to be able to show them the high school gym and you know and but you're not showing the fields. Well, two fields will be ready. One one field will be done for sure and the second field will be So you think November's too late? November will be better. We have a lot of no school or half in
068November because November is okay with me. I'm thinking around Thanksgiving time. Would it make sense like that Friday? It it would be nice because then the college kids who I'm sure want to see the campus and stuff. I'm just thinking, you know, work Thursday obviously. Friday's a holiday for us also. We have No, I think that's actually a good idea. I I I mean, more people are in town. You have the tree lighting. You're going to be up against the tree lighting eventually if we do it during the day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We did the last one during the day, too. Yeah. Plus Black Friday if that matters. No. Such a thing anymore. There's going to be a football game on Prime St. Oh, that's right. There will be a football game. Oh, you mean
069on You were talking about real football. Yeah. Actually, that's a nice weekend. We have a home football game this year on Thanksgiving. Mhm. We do have a alumni soccer game on Thanksgiving morning, but that's okay. So, we could do something like Saturday maybe that or that Friday is fine, I think. Don't you? What do you guys think? Friday or Saturday? What's the bigger impact on this? Would it be Friday cuz it's a holiday? Yeah. So, Saturday So, it would have to be a Saturday event, a Sunday cleanup type of thing. Football game's Thursday anyway, right? It's home. Yeah, it's home anyway. And Thursday? Yeah. Thursday morning? Yeah. I would think maybe that Saturday would probably be a good idea. Okay. Saturday after Thanksgiving. Yeah, cuz you got to We'll take a look at that and
070we get back. Yeah. Okay. probably try to finish legit by then. What you would think the whole thing better be done by otherwise. Okay. Comments for the good of order. Nothing to add. Thank you. Um on the budget thing is there there's no taxpayer impact from the school. Correct. Until 20. Or am I oversimplifying it? Until 26. 27. 20. So no taxpayer impact till 26. Okay. All right. Thank you. And then it starts at I don't know 1.15 on the new or something like that. Goes like that for 5 years. It peaks at I don't know 156 less than that. Less than that and then it back down the roller coaster it goes. Okay. Thank you. I'm on anything. Um just a question on the um on the drainage/ roof situation. Is there an update
071on that? You speaking of the leaks you mean? Yeah. Or or the Yeah. Why don't you go ahead and pat your own back? Sure. I'm There's no back padding here. Um so I did um you we've been in communication with the you know with the the mayor. She had communicated with the city council. I went to the city council meeting on Tuesday night and had given a recap of leaks. I don't have those notes in front of me, but you know, the big picture was we've since the building was occupied, we've incurred a total of I think six leaks. Four of them are related to roofing. Two of them are related to HVAC. Um some of the the big takeaways were that um what we've seen for leaks it's not um it's not out of
072the ordinary for for turning over a project of this to have some instances where there is some water that infiltrates. Um, we let them know of the the magnitude that, you know, I think it was the the culmination of all of the roof leaks amounted to, you know, the equivalent of some, you know, like a half dozen of these or whatever it was. Um, and that while we strive for every piece of the work to be installed exactly right the first time, you know, one of the leaks was a about 6 in long piece of roof seam. And on the building that we turned over, we have about 19,000 ft or about 3 and 1/2 miles of that seam. So it's um some of the things we experience are so incredibly low as far as
073a percentage of the work that it's it's certainly not an indication of the quality of the work. Um in some instances in every instance the work was it or the the leak was very clearly communicated to us by the school staff. Um we had almost immediate action by the roofing trade contractor to address it and you know we'll we'll keep that up. Um the HBAC ones we've worked with those with the technical experts of the units of the people that manufacture the units and have we believe have mitigated that. So we So was a defect in the unit itself? Um it was there was for instance there was a uh a condensate drain from the unit and when we saw this was when we had some of that really the first influx of the really
074hot weather. Right. Is that right? And um the manufacturer's instructions. So the design team produces documents and to some extent they then rely upon or defer to the manufacturer's instructions cuz it's depending on who you get the unit from. They have proprietary and and set requirements for what it takes for their equipment to function. In this instance, they have a trap uh for the condensate piping. They had recommended that it be 5 in tall. And after we had some we were taking some water in, they train came out to the site through the manufacturer and the recommendation was made to double the depth of that to 10 in. the HBC contractor went and made those corrections on all the units and I would say that you know the weather of today and tomorrow is going
075to certainly test that. So um so again I just I I think we would love to say that nothing's ever going to happen like that. Um but in a building of this size I think all we can say is just that we keep the communication as good as it's been with communicating these things and we just have to act diligently. And what about that drain? We had talked about that drain. Remember the the overflow drain? There was a lot going on. Yes. Yeah. MDA ended up getting a snake down that cleared it out. There was something blocking it. It's awesome. Was that the noise that was hearing? Someone was hearing noise in the auditorium, but we couldn't see water. It could have been. That's a great point. Could have been. Thank you, Don. Or anything.
076Uh, just the city council received your report. Well, there's not a lot of push back. Are you are you asking or saying? Oh, I was hoping you were saying. No, I was. They let me go. No, I it was really, you know, there were two council members, I think, that were most interested in in asking questions and I hope that I answered their questions to the best of my ability. So, great. Let me know if you hear anything. I will. The fact that we have it, I'm sure it's good. John, I mean, my only comment is to Dan. Thank you. I wouldn't be able to uh do this without your guidance. So, I appreciate that. I have to thank you, Mike, for stepping up and stepping. You guys are real. You guys have been a
077really great group to work for and the positive energy that comes out of these meetings and the energy that has been brought to the project from meatball and mata ball. Uh it's been a pleasure for me. I thank you. Thank you, Dan. Uh Mike's doing a great job. Uh you guys did a good job. That place is buttoned up now. It's got fencing everywhere. It's It would be hard to break into that place to play soccer or walk or anything else, and that's the way we want it. Yeah. Um Dan, uh rather John Jenny and myself and Dean are working on um reviewing some sidewalk issues and the uh the trade's going to make we hope make good on those and um we hope to do that next week, the three of us again. Um
078and other than that, I mean, the field guys are moving pretty good. Um Mike and Dean worked out a nice plan to try to keep the building as clean as possible during the move in phase. Uh you know, a lot of dirt blowing around there, so they'll do the best they can. But all in all, everybody's working together pretty well, so it's going to be it's going to be as close as any horse race could possibly be to try to get this thing done in time. But um Z just let you know the uh contractor for uh furniture for the media center started today. Hopefully if he has to finish up or finish up on Monday, Tuesday all the books are coming from the intermediate school to the middle school. Also on Monday, uh we're
079going to see a ton of trucks coming in for furniture. We have all three companies, Minder, WB Mason, and uh Interscape coming in. That's uh when? Monday. Monday. Yeah. Monday. And they loaded in the front door, too. They're loaded except for one is cuz we went in the back cuz there's so much stuff coming. So that's uh that's a very active day. Yeah. Monday. The whole week is going to be active. And then July uh this 23rd, there's some more stuff. And then the final one is uh two weeks before school starts. It'll be finished. No, thank you very much for your Oh, I'm sorry, Mike. Did I interrupt? I forgot one thing. Sue asked uh Mike and I to go down and look at the Oh, yeah. But you can't see very well. I
080had a report. I didn't see it. Right. So, we went down. Mike and I This is uh pertaining to the what's it called? Oneway glass. Two-way glass. Right. Um, so in the prek area in the in the k our students classroom, there's a window where they could observe the little kids. Um, and the teacher must have said it's difficult. And um, it's it's the right tent to accomplish what it's designed for, which is only being able to see out and not in. What we found is that it's much easier if you turn off the lights in the classroom. Yeah. and draw the shades cuz it's not really uh uh it's not really that it's too tinted. It's it's more of a glare issue. Turning off the lights in the observation room in the high school
081observation room, right? Um so yeah, thank you for looking into it. I mean, we've had this type of situation in the past where, you know, in smaller rooms and we've never run into that before where we've had to turn off lights and that sort of thing. Maybe it's a temperature light. I don't know what kind of, you know, what the Kelvin is in that light, but sometimes the temperature may affect it, I would think. I don't know. Kemp, can you look at that? Yeah. Look and see if it's extraordinarily tinted or if it's pretty much to standard or Yeah. No, I appreciate you. It was brought to our attention the other day. It was adjacent to the window. Maybe we could have those be switched. Only those. So the window So you don't get direct
082glare on the window. Yeah. The window faces this way, Mike. Right. And the lights are perpendicular to it. Lights are perpendicular to the cement. Yeah. Okay. We'll just keep looking. Okay. Thank you everyone. Great job. It was amazing. Thanks. Good morning. Good luck with your new project. Oh, it's not just one. Yes. Thank you for your patience. Thank you. See, thanks guys. Uh I made a mistake on the dates. So sorry I must have been sleeping. So the next meeting just let you know we probably can't have it on July 17th. I will not be here. I will be away and I'm not taking anything. I'm going to relax with my uh wife, my son, and my daughter-in-law and my best friend and his wife for college. So, if we can have it on July
08324th, Thursday, that's okay. I mean, it's the time of year where somebody's going to be missing probably, but [Music] uh Oregon and I haven't seen our son and my best friend I haven't seen him. I have a motion to adjourn at 6:14 Kathy discussion. All in favor? Uh
