      The Building Committee meeting was held at the Administrative Office, and was called to order at 7:05 pm by Chairman P. Omichinski.

 II. Approval of Minutes

      A motion to approve the meeting minutes of August 22, 2006 was made by P. Turner and seconded by P. Surveski.  All in favor none opposed.  P. Schwartz asked for clarification on percentage of project complete.  D. Lenihan stated it was based on amount of expenditures incurred to date (including materials in storage), as compared to physical construction.

III. Old Business

·  Project Status – K. Hunt presented listing of pending and approved change orders by trade contractor.  He will be reviewing pending change orders and meeting with contractors as needed.  Two change orders were presented for discussion.

                  C.M. #             Description                                                                              Amount

                                    General Trades

            00132              Walk-in refrigerator floor concrete                                          $ 3,800

                                    Plumbing – Comfort Plumbing

            00165              Tucker Mechanical                                                                  ($98,427)

                        CM Reimbursables

            00165              Tucker Mechanical                                                                  $98,427

   Because Tucker Mechanical was called in to assist Comfort Plumbing there was some discussion as to how to handle payment to Tucker.  A motion to accept Change Order 00132, and deduct change order from Comfort for $98,427 and add change order for O&G for $98,427, to be paid to Tucker, was made by P. Turner and seconded by R. Sadecki.  All in favor none opposed.

There were several change orders from C&H Electrical presented for review and discussion.  P. Schwartz recapped results of meeting with C&H a month ago.  Two significant issues emerged  – wire size interpretation and areas where aluminum could be substituted for copper.  P. Schwartz suggested another meeting with C& H.  P. Omichinski did not feel another meeting would be productive and stated legal counsel should be sought, to get issues resolved.  P. Schwartz also reported that because of incorrect voltage in the science wing, four computers were “fried” when plugged in.

·  Cost and schedule update – P. Schwartz asked K. Hunt how project completion of 61% compared with the timeline O & G developed over a year ago.  K. Hunt will provide a revised schedule.  Some areas slated for completion by the end of the month are:  middle school locker rooms and gym, roof on auxiliary gym, windows, plumbing, and tie-ins in the science wing.

R. Sadecki asked if commissioning will be an option.  There was some discussion on cost and benefits of this process (errors are the responsibility of the contractor to correct).  No decision was made.  There was some discussion on punch lists.  Although some of the architectural punch lists have been completed, no area is totally complete for a final punch list.  P. Omichiniski suggested that prior to giving punch list to a contractor, it be submitted to the committee first for review.

·  Review and approval of project invoices, bids, etc. – Not discussed.

·  Next steps – P. Schwartz requested a schedule of when areas would be completed.  D. Dickson requested drawings and revised sketches for walkway to track.

IV. Adjourn

      A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by P. Schwartz and seconded by R. Sadecki.  Meeting ended at 8:30 pm.  Next Building Committee Meeting is scheduled for September 19, 2006 at 7:00 pm at Central Office.
