MASHPEE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE Tuesday, March 14, 1995 Page 4 take care of itself. The design that we do now should fully incorporate the relocation of the road in order to provide for the future signalization and the future signalization. He stated that we cannot receive Federal funds unless all of the engineering has previously been done. He feels that this is the best mechanism and what was discussed was that the design and the construction would be in the $150,000 - $175,000 range of which we would like not to spend any more than necessary. He stated that it appears that the total design of the intersection with the entrance and the first phase construction which really needs to be done near the beginning of the project because there would be a lot of construction equipment in order to make a left hand turn into the site and it is not really something that that should wait until school is nearly open but it should move right away because the impact to the Town would be right away. The total cost should be in the area of$125,000 to $150,000 for all the work. He said in reviewing this, it does not make sense to phase the engineering portion. He said they were already on line with Cape Cod Joint Transportation Council which is the group of all 15 towns as a single entity going to the State to procure Federal funds. Paul asked if he was asking the Committee to go ahead and do all of the engineering work to include the intersection. Greg said the previous budget, although was high, it was not going to exceed that budget and probably be less than that budget to do all of the engineering and just the physical asphalt portion. Paul asked in Greg's request to the Federal government, was he including the portion for the turning lane or was that outside the school. Greg stated that it was outside the turning lane but was everything else, including any other shoulder work, any other acceleration lane type exposure, and whatever works needed on the north side of the intersection. Paul asked if the Committee see any reason why they can not ask Greg to get a detail estimate for that engineering work and then return to the Committee for a vote. Greg stated he would like to coordinate with Joe Sealy with the scope of work request. He said he spoke with Joe and he had a copy of the memo he gave to the Committee outlining all of the steps. • Peer Review of Construction Documents: Paul asked for Bill Hauck's comments first. Bill thought they were looking for a sign off and that he could do it in a week, but he is not sure now and stated the Fire Department has the same questions. They looking for a sign off that says it complies with the codes and he has a lot of questions about that. One of the main reasons was that the plans were like clusters. He cannot go through them quick because he has to go through about 20 sections and that a lot of sections are not complete. He cited an example of the door schedule which showed double doors in which they were calling out single door frames and that he has a problem with the plans at this stage. He stated that to find out manual hold backs, he had to go through all of the electrical plans to find out where they were. He cited other examples including the glass schedule (the code section), the lights along side, the walkway along the glass, etc. He stated that he had a hard time going through the plans and cited the confusion with the firewalls. He said he should be able to open up the plans and be able to pick out these items quickly. He stated that it was taking a lot longer to go through the plans because of this. Paul asked Bill when he would be ready for a sign off or his written comments. Bill stated that some of them he could get within the next couple of days but basically he would be away on Monday. Phil Poinelli stated that he is trying to set up a time where he could come down the following day and stated that a lot of the items that Bill was identifying had been picked up in the printing that went up on the 8th and he has Bill's previous comments. Bill stated that he had a copy of the plans done on the 8th and those are the ones he has the problems with. Bill would like to see something written on what was required and that the plans as they are, are too loose. Phil stated that they are in there but they have to look for in a place where he might not expect it. Phil cited some examples of where to look for the specifications. Phil stated that he understands what Bill is saying and he knows where on the plans to find the answers to his questions. He would like to come down and go through Bill's list and hear
