Publ is Works Building Committee Meeting of May 15, 1985 Page 2. Mr. Scannell suggested L. Wile come back and start over. It was his opinion if the original wel 1 had gone down another 10 feet the water would have been good, If the well i s put in at 103 feet the water should be good. Ellis advised the town test wel 1 , whose information was in the specs. , went down 100 feet with the claim of excellent water which set the base for 100( . That well would have been at finished grade. When the location was changed it would be g feet below finished grade. It was noted the present level of the parking lot i s approximately 56. Aaron Cohen stated the problem is due to an oversight on the part of 'rri pl e A and the sub-contractor. A shop drawing should have been submitted before the work commenced and as this was not done , George Bishop proceeded at his own risk per general conditions of the contract; Triple A should have caught it and stopped him, but didn't. Aaron cogen and El l i s Laycock were i n agreement that it wool d be reasonabl e for Triple A to withhold $1000. on Bishop' s base bid until he satisfies the specs. #fir* Cohen agreed to proceed on that basis, Mr. Cohen asked the committee if there was any possibility of backcharges from the occupant due to the iron oxide residual problem from the the well not being drilled deep enough which might have caused damage, lie requested a letter from the building committee assuring that if Mr. Bishop adjusts the well to the level requested and brings in good water there would be no backcharges Concerning the leak on the roof,, he advised they are going to do an actual water test on i t. They are also going to caulk wl th s i 1 i cone. He seated there should be a cover over the fan. Mr. Scannell stated he did not feel the fixtures could have been damaged in this short period of time and when good water flows the fixtures wil1 be cleaned. It was agreed that if the well is put in at the level stated and good water i s obtained, it will be assumed the requirements have been fulfilled and the intent of the specs has been ret. Ellis advised there will be one more check off on the punch list. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Laycock expressed appreciation to the committee for the time members spent at the building today to enable the work to continue. Re the grading , Mr., cogen stated he has hired Labute and the removal is 5/8 complete.
