Mr. Mead, from Jeter Cook & Jebson, gave an update to the committee. He reported that the building commissioner and the fire marshal had signed off on the items for the SFU. A discussion regarding Item #19, HazMat needs to be reviewed (asbestos in Linden Street School). Mr. Mead felt this item should not be a problem. Copies of the TRC, abatement documents, will be reviewed by the building official.

Mr. Mead reported that Bill, the Building Official, is asking who will file the building permit? There is a 16 cent/thousand fee that cannot be waved. Downes Construction will file for the permit and pay the fee. The committee will reimburse Downes Construction. All filed documents will be dated 8/12/04.
Mr. Mead also requested that a pre-construction meeting to go over procedures be scheduled as soon as everyone is in place. Jim Pello for JCJ will be joining the committee.

Mr. Mead would like the committee to make a decision on the brick panels that are at the school. The bricks need to be put into the construction specifications.

Mr. Mastrianni asked where the committee is on the gas line. The gas company wants the committee to put the line in. They are willing to pay for the line as long as the committee uses only gas. The committee will not commit to this. They still want to use a duel fuel system. Alan Schutz, Business Manager, will do a cost study.

Mr. Mead stated that the committee needs to schedule a PTC date to submit documents to the school facilities. The request needs to come from Kathleen Binkowski, Superintendent of Schools.

George Iskra questioned any changes in coding after September 1, 2004. Discussion followed.

Mr. Wojtowicz, from Downes Construction, gave an update to the committee. There were 5 steel bids submitted. Shepard Steel was the least expensive.

RON PAVANO MADE A MOTION TO SEND A NOTICE OF INTENT TO REWARD TO SHEPARD STEEL. STEVE MARTINO SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THE STEEL BID IS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,128,000.

Mr. Wojtowicz feels that all bids should be in by mid September.

Mr. Wojtowicz gave the committee a list of dates when abatement procedures will be done at Linden Street School. All dates reflect scheduled time off from school. Tests need to be done prior to students returning.

Discussion continued regarding temporary storage areas.

Mr. Wojtowicz feels the construction budget is in ‘good shape’.

Mr. Wojtowicz presented information that he would like JCJ and the Committee to review. It is in regards to Peskon Moisture Solutions. It is a 2-step procedure that is added to concrete. The system is designed to stop moisture. Ron Pavano would like to see a floor done with the solution. He will also speak with James Manafort regarding the product.
