  I. Call To Order

      The Building Committee meeting was held at the Administrative Office, and was called to order at 7:10 pm by Chairman P. Omichinski.

 II. Approval of Minutes

       A motion to approve the meeting minutes of September 5, 2006 was made by L. Sadler and seconded by R. Sadecki.  All in favor none opposed.  Abstention by D. Jones.

III. Old Business

·      Project Status – The revised schedule from O & G, discussed at the prior meeting, was not presented.  P. Schwartz expressed concern that this schedule was not ready.  K. Hunt assured members it will be ready by the next meeting.

      K. Hunt distributed the August 2006 monthly status report.  The project is 68% complete.  P. Schwartz had asked at prior meeting how this percentage (amount paid out) compared to actual, physical completion.  Based upon his review of the project, K. Hunt estimated actual physical completion of work to be 65-70%.  He stated there are 3 areas running behind schedule and will be brought back within schedule in a week or two.  He recapped change orders by trade contractor, which have not varied significantly from prior report.  There was some discussion concerning delays, their impact on contractors, the project, overtime pay, etc.  L. Sadler and P. Omichinski suggested a report be developed identifying when and why a delay occurred, who was responsible, and the impact of the delay.  A written history would serve to protect the District’s interests.

      There was extensive discussion concerning the electrical contractor, particularly how his interpretation of the contract differs from the District’s.  It was suggested that legal counsel review the contract language.  P. Schwartz asked if KBA and O & G could meet separately with counsel, in anticipation of subsequent meetings with electrical contractor.

·      Cost and Schedule Update – Nothing new to report.
