5%. It is as realistic as he can make it. <br /> Bill asked about the quality of furniture? <br /> Mr . Tavares will make recommendations on what he thinks is appropriate . <br /> Paul said the Committee should listen to what Mr . Tavares has to say very <br /> carefully. He asked Phil to look over Mr. Tavares ' budget to be sure <br /> nothing is missing and to coordinate the two budgets (Tavares and Childs) <br /> so pieces don ' t fall through the cracks . <br /> SCHEDULE <br /> Advance site clearing package: <br /> - pre-bid conference March 15th . <br /> - receipt of bids March 22nd . <br /> Tom Wren explained time has been shortened to 30 days so there is no float <br /> between this and the general contractor arriving on site . It will be very <br /> tight. <br /> General Contract: <br /> - drawings available March 8th . <br /> - pre-bid conference March 23rd . <br /> - subbids due April 6th . <br /> - General contractor bids due April 13th . <br /> - Award date April 28th . <br /> Chartwell said the peer review comments might require some addenda. <br /> Paul asked why April 28th to award , that is 15 days? They had it down to 7 <br /> days before. <br /> Paul said they had talked about putting language in the contract saying <br /> time is of the essence and put the start date in . <br /> Phil does not know if it is included at this time . <br /> Paul said this schedule is 30 days later than the previously , very tight <br /> schedule. They have to be aggressive about getting started fast. <br /> Paul suggested the Committee meet on Tuesday April 18th and then the <br /> Selectmen could meet at 6 : 30 that night to award the contract.

What is considered the <br /> start date of the project? Signing of the contract, shovel in the ground, <br /> site clearing? He asked Phil to research this so it is clear what GESS <br /> means . Paul spoke with Tom Cahir' s office. They told him the Legislature <br /> is seriously considering the. increase, but he had no timetable. It has to <br /> be done before June 1 . They are getting a tremendous amount of pressure. <br /> It may be enough money ( the increase) to re-consider the start dates . <br /> III Phil said the bids are good for 30 day, you have to react within 30 days. <br /> Steve thinks the point is moot because the project does not have $161 . 00 <br /> per sq foot in it. <br /> Clearing and Grubbing - the Selectmen must award this at their meeting of <br /> Monday , March 27th . This Committee must meet before that. <br /> OTHER MATTERS <br /> - Michael Kirwan of CCR spoke with NYNEX , they are likely not to bring <br /> fiber optic cable into the school . <br /> 8 <br />
