Steve said it sounds like the Cambridge school is barely off the ground , <br /> when would he be able to start here? <br /> Bill said the completion date for that project is the end of August. He <br /> does not have a problem leaving there at any time , it is well enough along . <br /> Janice asked if he plans to commute from Revere? <br /> He said he did not, he would move down here. <br /> Joe asked if he had built block buildings before? <br /> He said he had , it is not a problem. <br /> Merry Sue asked what he thought his role will be in reacting to the <br /> Committee and to Chartwell ? <br /> Bill said his primary function is to see that the contract gets followed . <br /> He will work whenever the contractor does. He will report to the architect <br /> or the construction management team. He produces daily and monthly reports <br /> - people on the job, their daily activities , changes to the drawings. <br /> Merry Sue told him this is a very tight time frame, to be opened in Sept. <br /> 1996 , can it be done? <br /> Bill said he does not know, he hasn ' t looked at the drawings . If there is <br /> a penalty clause in the contract that is usually enough incentive . <br /> Paul asked him what his role would be in the job site meetings? <br /> Bill said he would make everyone aware if the contractor was falling behind <br /> schedule , he would look for test reports , inspection reports, any changes <br /> to the project and pursue answer to any questions. <br /> Steve asked his general approach to dealing with errant contractors. <br /> Bill explained the contractor on the Cambridge job is this Committee' s <br /> favorite contractor. They were 2 months behind schedule but now are back <br /> on schedule . They have performed well but there was a lot of pushing and <br /> yelling . Your biggest clout is your money. <br /> Thomas Mullane . He explained he has been out of the Clerk business for 7 <br /> years . He moved to Florida, finished his college education and had a small <br /> business . <br /> From 1980-1988 he worked for DCPO (State) . His background is in commercial <br /> roofing . Most of the projects he worked on were renovation work. The <br /> Dexter School was a re-hab of the building , $2 million job. He explained <br /> that the State would move you from project to project according to your <br /> expertise ; he didn't stay with a project from start to finish . The largest <br /> project he worked on was Bridgewater prison , $17 million . This project had <br /> 300 change orders . He also did work at SMU- Dartmouth . <br /> He moved to Florida 7 years ago, had heart by pass surgery but is fine , <br /> physically , now. He spent 3 year finishing his college degree . <br /> Paul asked if he is familiar with all the aspects of the job, budget, <br /> scheduling, how would his experience relate to this clerk job? <br /> Tom said most problems occur because of a lack of communication . He <br /> prepares daily reports and is inconstant communication with the architect <br /> and Committee . Offense is your best defense. He does cost analysis for <br /> change orders, that is where contractors make a lot of their money . <br /> Joe asked about his experience with Nantucket? <br /> Tom said it was the Junior High , and he worked there as a contractor.
