Public Works Building Comiflttee Meeting of January 2, 1986 Page 2, Ellis Laycock was asked if the $12.00 ($1000 for grading and $200 for sealants) could be used and he agreed theft it could. He stated he would issue a change order to present to Aaron Cohen and notify the Bonding Company. He further advised change order #20 was written today to cover the $500. due on the con- crete. GRADING: Ernest Virgilio advised he will cut the excess material and remove it slowly and grade the cliff. SEALANTS: After discussion it was agreed to issue a purchase order for $200. to cover the necessary caulking and the work will be completed by the DPW. WELL: It was agreed that if Pilgrim Pump is paid,a purchase order should be issued to them and if they refuse, for any reason, the second bidder will be contacted. The intent is to drill the new water well and backcharge with whatever strength legal rights provide, certainly the gas Dill , by deducting from Triple A's last invoice. If suit follows by Triple A, panerwork and witnesses can be provided. Ellis advised that the Bonding Company expects the town to take legal action. Leslie Ann Morse advised a suit is not in the town's best interests at this time. Several suits have been filed against Triple A and it is expected they will file bankruptcy and the bonding company will have to step in. Ernest Virgilio advised the toilets have to be fixed every six weeks due to the damage being created by the water. Question was raised of the necessity to replumb the building due to damage. Ms. Morse agreed to apprise the bonding company of this possibility and also, the possibility of invoking the $100. per day penalty for not being substant- ially complete due to the water, no operating manuals , guarantees, or release of liens from sub-contractors, for the nine month period. She advised the bonding company cannot step in when Aaron Cohen stated he has a defense. It was agreed if it is the contention of Mr. Cohen that the water provided is drinkable, the well driller should be paid. Ellis stated in the meeting with Aaron Cohen and the Bonding Company, Mr. Cohen stated he would be paid, but has not done so. The Committee was advised Maurer has corrected all the roof leaks satisfactorily.
