  1. OPM Report
Gary Kaczmarek gave a construction update. The site work and basin are 90% complete. Work is progressing in the rear getting roadway/parking up to grade for binder. Work has started on the water line around the building. The water department will assist in pressure testing and chlorination testing. The MEP trades are moving along. The quality is good and there are no safety issues. The project is on schedule as of now. Yankee has been testing and all tests have passed. We will be meeting with the project manager to go over claims.  Jacquie Kelly asked about the change orders.  Gary noted that the majority of CO#5 is the dehumidification issue. The numbers came in at $222,507.21. He asked the committee to a pprove Change Order #5. There was a minor issue with dehumidification PCO and they are working it out with the contractor. Gary thinks it should be a little less taking into account the units already bought. They own storage until August. Gary put an ad in The Central Register to try and sell units not needed. If we don’t sell them we will then discuss it further. In a motion by Chris Lucchesi, seconded by Paul Challenger, it was unanimously voted to approve Change Order #5 not to exceed $230,173.88.

Paul Challenger asked how we are doing on total claims. Gary responded that there has not been any movement on older ones. There have been some new ones generated, but all fairly minor. All have been needed or have been a better way to do things.

Gary discussed the dedication plaque in vestibule. They need the names to be put on the plaque. It is a requirement that MSBA be on there if there is a dedication. Bill Senecal said he will send out a PDF with an example.

  1. LPA Update

Bill Senecal noted that the quality of the project is very good. LPA walks the site every week. He also noted that they have good sub contractors. The FF&E is also coming together. The final meetings are scheduled for next week for both technology and furniture. Darryll McCall noted that the school is going with chrome books. Bill noted there is a budget of $250/student.

  1. Misc

Jacquie Kelly noted that tomorrow the town is borrowing $22 million in bonds. That includes $10.5 million to pay existing bonds. The rest should bring us to next June without borrowing more bonds. Jacquie also noted that Standard & Poor upgraded the town from AA to AA+ rating.
