r i technology estimate,. Paul told Phil the committee has been asking for how John Childs derived these numbers . He must have used some assumptions i e, # of units x cost The Committee needs to know how he derived this , it would help them get a better understanding of ,this budget O Phil said they will get an additional breakdown . Steve asked about the wiring issue. Tom wren has 2 memos from SMMA: - the CCTV cabling , conduit and wiring is in the construction budget . Cameras and coaxial are in the F F&E. - Theater Lighting . conduit and wiring are in the construction budget. Light fixtures , cleaners and light control equipment are in FF&E . Phil said these memos are in response to the questions he heard . Steve said it appears that every drop of technology wiring is in FF&E? Phil said the memo does not address that question , Steve said if that is the case, something is out of kilter . l 61 , 000 i s more than enough for all of the wiring . Mike P i et rowsk i does not see how coaxial cable can fall into the FF&E budget. It is port of the building , in his opinion , it should not be taken out of F F&E , it is part of the building . Paul said it is all part of the bid package, the question i s out of which pot it will be taken . It makes a difference only in relationship to SMMA' s contract. what purpose will this discussion solve Steve asked if i t is in the base contract or in F F&E? Phil said it is in the base contract. Steve said this is a question he has been asking , a major portion of the wiring is installed with the rest of the building and should be 'n the construction budget not FF&E . Paul said it is in the construction documents, it relates only to how you do the estimate. Phil said there is a sub sub contractor under electrical for wiring . The sub has to be identified by name and amount,. Peter said they can debate the estimate but that i s in the past. Steve said he was lead to believe the issue was well understood . Paul said he thought it was understood when they interviewed the technology vendors" that technology was not in the base contract. It is MMA ' s position that they will supply the conduits and provide the raceways for technology . The technology would go out as a separate contract later , as part of FF&E . The Committee previously talked about the method to put the wiring into the bu i l d i ng . Mike Pare disagreed i t should be pant of the base bid , he wanted it to be a separate item. He wanted a total separate contractor - it was a quality argument . He did not - want electrical contractors Pulling wires . Steve said it is his opinion that FF&E leaked very badly . Paul said the original budget put $2 . 7 million aside for FF&E. Manny Tavares told the committee that was not even close to enough . He does not know how LFA derived that number. The committee had received a l page criteria of what should be in the building from the Superintendent. How that criteria got changed , he does not know. 2
