Construction Progress/Furniture Delive ( continued) page 3 Stone is supposed to notify us that the furniture can be put in the classrooms on August 12th and also have the job finished by August 12th; any delay beyond that date is Stone ' s fault on both these issues . Upon question if the furniture can be placed in the classrooms if some work remains to be finished, Paul said they will have to wait until the 12th. He explained that if the building is not substantially completed, we would have to check with all the parties to determine what liability falls on either side to do it . . . this would require a lot of work. Again, Paul said he sees no problem with the classroom furniture at this time. Regarding the .fields , Paul said the irrigation is going in; after that, some remedial work can begin. The fields will not be finished for the season. He explained there is still some question about what remedial work will have to be done; a long list of items to be done in the Spring was issued but not done by the contractor; some agreement has been arranged with Holden Farms; they are now supposed to be back working. Tom informed that they are not doing the shrubbery work; some have been delivered; there are trees towards the Sewage Treatment Plant that they were told to water almost every day. Paul explained that the contractor must keep the trees alive for one year; if they are put in and do not make: it, the contractor will have to replace them . . . despite what the spec says . We should not have to worry about this issue; we will simply have to deal with it. Regarding Holden Farms , Paul feels that at the least, re-seeding will have to be done. He explained that there is some question whether the re-seeding will take or whether they will have to dig it up and do it again. 3(a ) Furniture & Equipment. Summary by TDA Deliver Schedule : Manny informed that the 5 truck deliveries from the major furniture contractor have been scheduled for August 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 and 16 . . . one a day. Manny verified that the deliveries are a turnkey deal; they include unpacking the furniture, setting it in place, and taking away their trash. Manny informed that there will be classroom furniture for other areas of the building, such as art and music , where there is not enough room. This furniture will have to be put in areas that are available; these areas will have to be identified. Regarding other furniture vendors, Manny informed that the cafeteria furniture is being shipped next ,reek from Minnesota; arrival date perhaps the same time-frame as the classroom furniture. Paul recommended that Manny start making some provisions for that furniture; to bring items into the building prematurely may be an issue with this particular job; he prefers that we do not enter into any dispute with the contractor. Manny pointed out that the furniture rolls and folds and is easy to deal with in terms of storage. Short. discussion followed regarding the specifications.
