been so many changes . Could they bring the next estimate forward - do it <br /> sooner rather than later? <br /> Phil said the accuracy of the estimate is dependent on the accuracy of the <br /> drawings. There is a risk of less accuracy to the estimate. <br /> Peter said this overrun is 1% of the construction budget. Are we wasting <br /> time on this 1%? <br /> Paul said it is not 1%, it is really 6-7%, because of the value added and <br /> contingencies. <br /> Paul said this issue will be put on the January 3rd agenda. For that <br /> meeting he would like SMMA to talk to Daedulus about their opinion on a <br /> estimate , any value added recommendations, and a really good opinion of <br /> where SMMA thinks we are with the budget. <br /> Ed said they will quantify minor items, recommend major items, recommend a <br /> value added list and find a way to validate the cost estimate. <br /> Submission of EIR, Potential Schedule Delay. <br /> Brian Lawlor, civil engineer has been dealing with the EIR and the various <br /> agencies. He reported to the Committee on the status of the EIR. <br /> He explained they are required to file with the Cape Cod Commission also <br /> and it will be a joint filing with the Commission and MEPA. He asked the <br /> Commission for guidance and received a very positive feeling from them. <br /> There seems to be a commitment from them to help us with this project. <br /> Sharon Rooney offered to set up a meeting to go through the Commission <br /> application and to keep it as close as possible to the EIR. That meeting <br /> will be this Thursday at 9 : 00 a.m. <br /> Mr. Lawlor also spoke with MEPA who are very pleased about that meeting and <br /> they will contact the Commission to make them clear about the scope of the <br /> EIR. He feels there has been a positive change in attitude. <br /> Where that leaves the filing of the EIR: <br /> Mr. Lawlor expected to file the EIR with MEPA on December 15th . He <br /> believes it would be unwise to file it on the 15th and not take advantage <br /> of a consultation with the CCC first. The joint filing gives the <br /> Commission the right to define the product. He feels strongly about <br /> meeting with them before filing the EIR. <br /> Merry Sue asked what that does to our filing goal ? <br /> He said he will file it within the next 2 week period , if all goes as <br /> planned and he assumes it will . That way the CCC will have opportunity for <br /> input. <br /> Steve asked if the Committee/Town should have representation at the <br /> meeting? <br /> Paul has no problem with someone attending, he cannot. Peter cannot. <br /> Mr. Lawlor asked Sharon Rooney who should attend . She did not feel it <br /> necessary for the owner to attend and asked that he not bring a team of <br /> consultants. <br /> Greg Taylor said he plans on going. <br /> Peter asked about the letter form Armando Carbonell stating this project <br /> must result in no net addition of nitrates to the aquifer, are they backing <br /> off of that? <br /> Mr. Lawlor said he will explain to them how we would mitigate the <br /> situation . There is no way to reduce the level to zero. <br /> 4 <br />
