The tasks included are: contract documents, specifications, change to the base building drawings - coordination , bidding- printing, administration, tabulation , mailing, construction administration. Construction administration covers a 4 week period total of 50 hours for a civil engineer. Paul thinks that is excessive, the entire job is only 160 hours. Joel explained the proposal is for site clearing and erosion control , they will install part of the storm drainage system. You can ' t clear without erosion control . Paul thinks is it slightly but not excessively high. It will buy the project 4-6 weeks. It may be the window needed if there is any work stoppage or weather problems . It is a small amount of money compared to paying overtime because the project is running late in the end. He feels it is money well spent, it buys insurance. Ian said the proposal seems on the high side. It is difficult to determine what amount might have been included in the original contract for this work. Joel explained for the civil engineer they determined what would have been needed under the basic services and subtracted that. They put a lot of thought into this proposal . ** Paul made a motion to ask SMMA to proceed with the additional package for clearing and grubbing , based on their proposal of $18, 685 . 00. Merry Sue seconded the motion. All members were in favor 6-0** Steve said it should be in the contract that the contractor keep the woodland loam on site - do not remove it. No topsoil is to be removed . Next Week's Agenda: Joel thinks Ed Frenette is prepared to bring in revised elevations. If they are not, the Committee would like to know ASAP so they can cancel the meeting . Paul suggested discussing the open items on technology: library, training , schedule of hiring staff, grounds equipment. He would like to see a schedule of what students will be in the building when . These issues have to be discussed with the School Committee also. The Committee should develop an action list. LAND ACQUISITION Paul said the title was transferred last week . Town Counsel said he felt it was a very comprehensive appraisal . It will be hard to bring it to court and claim it was a bad job.
