complete the archeological study and traffic study on time . <br /> Paul asked what extra work is involved for this $20, 500 proposal? <br /> Bob said most of the fee is for the additional bidding phase and additional <br /> construction administration phase. They also have to pro4*de a temporary <br /> storm drainage system. <br /> Paul said $20 ,000 divided by the rate per hour is quite a lot of hours. He <br /> is having a hard time understanding it. How does this become extra work, <br /> site clearing and grubbing was part of the original construction schedule . <br /> Ed said this proposal includes additional administrative work and <br /> observations for a longer period of time. <br /> Paul understands there is additional administrative work but not $20 , 000 . <br /> He cannot approve an extra $20,000 . <br /> The Committee will continue this discussion at the net meeting , Bob will <br /> provide further backup material supporting the $20 ,000 . <br /> Budget: <br /> Paul received a letter form the Town Treasurer saying $70 , 000 is needed for <br /> insurance on the debt. Paul asked , when the budget was being prepared , if <br /> there were any additional costs to the Town to borrow the money and was <br /> told there would be none. He will talk to Mr. Whritenour about this. <br /> Joe said he is very concerned there will not be enough money for the high <br /> tech equipment.

Page 4 are some additional <br /> recommendations . <br /> Bob said the goal is another $600 ,000 of savings. <br /> Paul talked about the goal . Last week many of the value added items were <br /> crossed out, we need to come up with additional savings. <br /> Merry Sue said she would like to see this number come down to the $20 <br /> million budget and then the Committee could put things back in. The <br /> Committee only truly agreed on the brick as a value added. <br /> Ed Frenette made a request of the Committee. SMMA had certain insight on <br /> what this building probably would cost, based on histories . He does not <br /> blame anyone for not believing in those histories . The State funding system <br /> is geared for a very basic building - any substantial technology or play <br /> fields is up to the community. <br /> He asked that everyone try to reach consensus on the price as expeditiously <br /> as possible, try to get through this list. They have spent 400% of their <br /> administrative budget on Design Development phase. He asked please, as a <br /> friend, to try to reach consensus as quickly as possible. This is very <br /> expensive for SMMA. <br /> Bill Martiros asked if the auxiliary gym is part of the teaching stations? <br /> Paul explained the problem, for SMMA to meet the goal in the contract, it <br /> 7 <br />
