needs to be a better method to heat and enclose those spaces . Tom Wren said Chartwell believes the job is closer to 8 weeks behind schedule than 3 . Is it possible to complete? Yes. Are they going to do it? To do what they have to within the time allowed they would certainly loose money and he does not know if they are willing to do that. In 2 weeks , the new CPM, will it be something we can actually measure from? He feels we should be concentrating on a 30 day bar chart - with no float . By the end of this month, if they don't achieve $2 million by value , they are out of it. Jim also agrees with giving them the 2 week period. Can they do it? He doesn' t think so. There were no masons on the job today because it is too cold and they are not tented in. If they don't ' tent in areas and heat them they can't finish. They are gambling with the weather, hoping it will be warm enough to work. There is a lot of work that has to be re-done and they are continuing each day to do more work that will have to be re-done. Starting today, they have to do it right the first time to complete on time and they have not been able to do that so far. Ian said we have to. work closely with the Bonding company during the next 2 weeks so they see it from our point of view.
