      The Building Committee meeting was held at the Administrative Office, and was called to order at 7:30 pm by Chairman P. Omichinski.

      A motion to approve the meeting minutes of September 19, 2006 was made by L. Sadler and seconded by R. Sadecki.  All in favor none opposed.  Abstention by P. Turner.

III. Old Business

·  Cost and schedule update – Listing of change orders by trade contractor was distributed.  K. Hunt brought to Committee’s attention change order CM00165, payment to Tucker Mechanical for work completed from 8-21 to 9-23-06, with a back Charge to Comfort Systems.  A motion to approve the change order was made by L. Sadler and seconded by D. Jones.

K. Hunt distributed updated work completion schedule.  Project is roughly 64% complete and some areas are approximately 1.5 months behind original schedule generated over a year ago.  Each area was discussed particularly with regard to what needed to be completed and whether completion would match new timeframe.

There was some discussion on what “substantial completion” meant and who was responsible for determining it.  It was suggested that as an area neared completion, a letter should be sent to contractor informing them an inspection would be done by a particular date and allow them time to respond back identifying work that would not be completed by inspection date.  It was decided that K. Hunt would draft a sample letter to present to Committee for approval.

         D. Fortin presented to the Committee that $50K needed to be approved today to allow him to order Music Room furniture (not instruments) for delivery and installation during January 2007.   Was unsure whether this needed to go out for competitive bidding or not.  D. Lenihan to find out.  A motion allowing D. Fortin to purchase Music Room fixtures, not to exceed $50,000, was made by P. Schwartz and seconded by D. Jones.

         D. Lenihan received required August letter from C & H regarding voltage drop compliance.  However, letter did not specify in what area this was done.  K. Hunt to ask C & H to generate another letter and include the specific area.

Next steps – P. Omichinski has been in contact with an independent electrical testing company, and will facilitate contact between them and R. Sadecki.

      A motion to go into Executive Session at 8:45 pm was made by P. Schwartz and seconded by D. Jones.  The committee returned to regular session at 9:15 pm. 

IV. Adjourn

Meeting was adjourned at 9:15 pm.
