Hunt informed the committee that some of the change order items for the electrician are in dispute and asked if members wanted those items to remain on the report.  Consensus was to get these issues resolved as quickly as possible.  P. Schwartz gave a brief overview of the August 15th meeting with the electrician which was to get his perspective of what are the disputed items.  P. Schwartz, D. Lenihan, R. Sadecki, and D. Fortin will be meeting with KBA and O&G this Thursday to review items.

 

D. Fortin stated the only outstanding site issue had to do with the temporary road near the 6th grade wing for truck access to that area.

 

K. Hunt informed the committee that he has received some claim letters from contractors.  However, no formal claims have been made by these vendors.  The letters indicate what they perceive as losses due to work holdups.  There was some discussion on this issue.  K.
