technology estimate. <br /> Paul told Phil the Committee has been asking for how John Childs derived <br /> these numbers. He must have used some assumptions ie. # of units x cost. <br /> The Committee needs to know how he derived this , it would help them get a <br /> better understanding of this budget. <br /> Phil said they will get an additional breakdown . <br /> Steve asked about the wiring issue. <br /> Tom Wren has 2 memos from SMMA: <br /> - the CCTV cabling , conduit and wiring is in the construction budget. <br /> Cameras and coaxial are in the FF&E. <br /> - Theater Lighting . Conduit and wiring are in the construction budget. <br /> Light fixtures, cleaners and light control equipment are in FF&E. <br /> Phil said these memos are in response to the questions he heard. <br /> Steve said it appears that every drop of technology wiring is in FF&E? <br /> Phil said the memo does not address that question . <br /> Steve said if that is the case, something is out of kilter. $161 , 000 is <br /> more than enough for all of the wiring . <br /> Mike Pietrowski does not see how coaxial cable can fall into the FF&E <br /> budget. It is part of the building , in his opinion , it should not be taken <br /> out of FF&E , it is part of the building . <br /> Paul said it is all part of the bid package, the question is out of which <br /> pot it will be taken . It makes a difference only in relationship to SMMA' s <br /> contract. What purpose will this discussion solve. <br /> Steve asked if it is in the base contract or in FF&E? <br /> Phil said it is in the base contract. <br /> Steve said this is a question he has been asking , a major portion of the <br /> wiring is installed with the rest of the building and should be in the <br /> construction budget not FF&E . <br /> Paul said it is in the construction documents, it relates only to how you <br /> do the estimate. <br /> Phil said there is a sub sub contractor under electrical for wiring . The <br /> sub has to be identified by name and amount. <br /> Peter said they can debate the estimate but that is in the past. <br /> Steve said he was lead to believe the issue was well understood. <br /> Paul said he thought it was understood when they interviewed the technology <br /> "vendors" that technology was not in the base contract. It is SMMA's <br /> position that they will supply the conduits and provide the raceways for <br /> technology . The technology would go out as a separate contract later , as <br /> part of FF&E. The Committee previously talked about the method to put the <br /> wiring into the building . Mike Pare disagreed it should be part of the <br /> base bid, he wanted it to be a separate item. He wanted a total separate <br /> contractor - it was a quality argument. He did not want electrical <br /> contractors pulling wires. <br /> Steve said it is his opinion that FF&E leaked very badly. <br /> Paul said the original budget put $2 . 7 million aside for FF&E. Manny <br /> Tavares told the Committee that was not even close to enough . He does not <br /> know how DRA derived that number. The Committee had received a 1 page <br /> criteria of what should be in the building from the Superintendent. How <br /> that criteria got changed , he does not know. <br /> 2 <br />
