r <br /> had proposed using them on Mashpee ' s project . <br /> Peter said it is not fair to place this all in the Committee ' s <br /> lap. He agrees with Bill , when approaching the limit , they <br /> should have advised the Committee instead of socking us with a <br /> bill . <br /> Ed said it is their job to assist the Committee in getting the <br /> school they wanted . Mashpee has more playing fields , classrooms <br /> and technology than any other school that SMMA is doing . This <br /> Committee has stretched all the standards . The issue is should <br /> Mashpee keep all the value or should SMMA be compensated for <br /> their• efforts . <br /> Peter said the Committee helped them get it . also , they have to <br /> spend money to put things back in that shouldn' t have been taken <br /> out . 15% is not a reasonable variance ( from the cost estimator ) . <br /> 6 . Changes After Approvals . <br /> There is a provision in the contract regarding this issue . 50% <br /> of the drawings changed . <br /> Merry Sue asked what approval is' If the Committee approved it <br /> without knowing what it looked like then they didn ' t have enough <br /> information for approval . For example , orientation of <br /> classrooms , when did we approve that? She wouldn ' t have approved <br /> a classroom without: connecting doors . There were changes because <br /> it was the first time they saw things in detail . There were many <br /> cases the Committee never talked about specifics . <br /> At this point. the architects and Project Manager left the room so <br /> the Committee could try to reach consensus about this issue . <br /> Janice said she is annoyed that the tone of their presentation is <br /> that this is the fault of the Committee . She thinks they under <br /> estimated the Committee . <br /> Peter explained , when they negotiated SMMA ' s contract , they <br /> squeezed them hard and now they want to make it back. <br /> Steve thinks they already paid them top dollar on their original <br /> contract . <br /> Paul said the Committee did give approval to go to the next-' : <br /> phase , but there were never a set of drawings to sign off on. <br /> They probably jumped ahead . <br /> Paul said their contract does stipulate 21 meetings not 40 but he <br /> has a problem with them taking an average for the extra meetings ; <br /> they assumed they were all .4 hours and they weren' t ; they used 2 <br /> hours , not .1 . 5 hours for travel time . . <br /> Peter said the Committee does not have to re-act to this . SMMA <br /> cannot stop providing services . There is no benefit is b-eingreactive . " <br /> Paul said they could bill us . We could go to court . If it goes <br /> to court , according to their contract , they will probably win and <br /> 5 <br />
