information to make a decision by the next meeting . <br /> Joel explained that Com Electric had requested a change to the utility <br /> piping , they asked for a concrete duck bank. SMMA has transferred that <br /> request into a proposal to the contractor and they provided a price . SMMA <br /> commented on their response and Stone will revise their change order. Com <br /> Electric ' s request is a less expensive way to complete this . <br /> Paul suggested this Committee, or some members , get together with the 7th <br /> and 8th graders to talk to them about the progress of the school , let them <br /> ask questions , since there has been so much press regarding the delays. <br /> John Williams suggested putting an aerial photo of the site up on display <br /> monthly at the middle school . That photo can also be put on the cable <br /> station. <br /> Paul mentioned that citizens are not allowed to tour the site . Stone still <br /> owns the site at this time . They can go to the trailers . <br /> Landscaping delays : Paul explained that Stone had a problem with their <br /> landscaping subcontractor. Stone did not mention it to the Committee <br /> because it was one of their minority contractors and this would bring them <br /> below their 10% requirement . <br /> Paul said the requirement and intent of the regulation is getting the 10% <br /> at the time they bid the job. Town Council has said if that subcontractor <br /> withdraws , the town does not have any legal position to force them to fill <br /> it with another minority position. Stone was over the 10% when they bid <br /> the job and are now under by only 1/2%. There is an issue if one of the <br /> other general contractor' s who bid the job want to contest it but then it <br /> is an issue for the attorney general . Stone not telling the Committee of <br /> this problem did cause a delay however. <br /> FEE INVOICES <br /> SMMA presented a fee invoice for $21 , 077 . 55 <br /> Tom Wren mentioned this invoice included $1 , 396 . 57 for Haley and Aldrich <br /> and their records show a ceiling on services of $13 , 000 which has been met . <br /> Joel explained this fee is for soil testing that was done when they were <br /> having problems with the soil and did additional testing to come up with an <br /> alternative plan. This is a separate issue form the $13 , 000 ceiling. <br /> **Paul made a motion to forward to the Selectmen for approval and <br /> payment SMMA' s fee invoice of $21 , 077 . 55 Merry Sue seconded the <br /> motion. All members were in favor. ** <br /> FF & E Meeting <br /> Merry Sue reported on the furniture subcommittee ' s meeting . Manny Tavares <br /> is preparing minutes of that meeting . He presented the cut sheet book for <br /> the Committee ' s review. The Committee , after review, should go back to <br /> Manny with any questions or alterations to be made . He will then prepare <br /> the specs and put it out to bid . The Committee does not have to choose low <br /> bid. <br /> 4 <br />
