[0:00] Very good work.
[0:03] » All right, welcome everybody. Let's call
[0:05] our library building committee meeting
[0:07] to order. It is 6 o'clock exactly.
[0:12] Go right to uh hold business which uh
[0:15] are minutes from August 19th.
[0:20] » So move have a motion by Mr. Ike.
[0:24] » Second. We have a second by Mr. Bur.
[0:26] Anybody want to add any comments or
[0:28] corrections? close.
[0:30] » I think Peter Casti's name is
[0:32] misspelled.
[0:32] » Yeah, he didn't want to spell it on my
[0:35] part.
[0:36] » Good catch. Thanks. Any other comments?
[0:40] » Sure. I want
[0:41] » Can somebody tell me how to spell it?
[0:45] » It's on the website.
[0:46] » Uh, so Joe, there's one page. Uh, can I
[0:49] just see your
[0:51] » I'm not sure I asked this question. I
[0:54] thought it was actually Clark.
[0:57] Um, I asked if the resequencing would be
[1:00] tested. I'm on page two under the
[1:04] construction manager report.
[1:06] We're talking about HVAC. It's like the
[1:08] fourth or fifth bullet.
[1:10] » Okay.
[1:10] » The first one is Okay. I asked about
[1:12] EDI. And then the second one asking
[1:15] about the resequencing. I think that
[1:18] might have been Clark. Does anybody
[1:20] remember? Or was it you, Matt?
[1:22] » It must have been Clark, I think.
[1:24] » Oh, here he comes, actually.
[1:26] Take this off the tape though, right?
[1:29] » Uh, yeah.
[1:30] » Thought it was him. But
[1:33] » Well, here Clark is here, so we could
[1:35] actually ask him. Um, I mean, I just
[1:38] didn't remember asking that.
[1:40] » I might have.
[1:42] » Let's ask what. We got a question for
[1:44] you on the minutes right now. It says
[1:46] Patrick Dorenzo asked if the
[1:48] resequencing would be tested.
[1:51] Do you remember you asked that? effort
[1:54] doesn't last.
[1:57] » All right.
[1:57] » Okay. Then maybe
[2:01] he uses he uses the recording.
[2:03] » Just wanted to confirm.
[2:04] » Any other corrections?
[2:08] All right. All in favor of approving the
[2:10] minutes as corrected. Please say I.
[2:14] » I.
[2:15] » Any nays?
[2:17] Stains.
[2:21] All right. you. Let's go to um new
[2:26] business and we have Anthony is here to
[2:29] talk about crosser. All righty.
[2:34] My screen
[2:36] is so short and sweet tonight compared
[2:38] to past meetings. All right.
[2:40] » Uh item A here we have just a quick
[2:42] update what's going on. EDI is going to
[2:44] be mobilizing here in the next couple
[2:46] weeks for the warranty replacement
[2:47] plantings as as well as receding the
[2:50] bare areas uh sometime within the like I
[2:52] said the next few weeks. The plaza
[2:54] concrete cing uh testing should and
[2:57] analyticals should be here probably
[2:59] within the next week or two. Uh so once
[3:01] we get that reporting and that
[3:02] information we will distribute to the
[3:04] team accordingly. Proposal 34 um
[3:07] proposal request number 34, the air
[3:09] handler resequencing has been scheduled
[3:12] for this Thursday and uh this f next
[3:14] Thursday and Friday. Uh we have carrier
[3:17] MJ Daily Balancing. Uh we have a whole
[3:20] crew coming in to finish that that task.
[3:23] Proposal request number 35, which is the
[3:25] pressure relief and the heat relief at
[3:27] the community room in the AV closet.
[3:29] That's also scheduled for next week.
[3:31] We're waiting for a confirmation of a
[3:33] one-day installation time frame from MJ
[3:35] Dailyaly and their second tier
[3:37] subcontractor who'll be working on that.
[3:39] Um, and this will be provided that daily
[3:42] update will be provided to the library
[3:43] staff and DBW to to allow that work to
[3:46] happen and commence. All right, that's
[3:49] kind of where we are, where we stand. I
[3:51] do have Carrier coming in on Friday to
[3:53] finish the the uh compressor work. Uh,
[3:56] again, they came out here last week to
[3:58] do that work. they were uh had some more
[4:00] damaged components that have come in. Uh
[4:03] so they got those replaced and they are
[4:05] coming back in to complete that work
[4:07] this Friday. I don't know what time yet,
[4:10] but we will coordinate with uh Ken
[4:12] Sharon over at Carrier
[4:14] when happens.
[4:16] » Questions for Anthony on schedule?
[4:19] » I have a bunch of questions starting
[4:21] with EDI to start working on warranty
[4:23] replacement planting. So, I saw in the
[4:25] minutes that it said that that had
[4:26] already commenced last meeting.
[4:29] » Um, the provisions and getting the the
[4:31] plants ready and inventory did.
[4:34] » Is there a list of what's being
[4:35] replaced?
[4:36] » I could get you a list. I've been
[4:37] requesting actually a list from them too
[4:39] and a list of surviving plants from the
[4:41] last two years for the embankment at the
[4:43] Washbrook as well.
[4:45] » Okay. Um, is what is the window to get
[4:48] the fall planting done? I think you have
[4:50] until October at some point until I
[4:53] don't know what that exact date is.
[4:56] Google it or ask EDI directly what that
[4:58] that time frame is but basically
[5:01] September and October I believe.
[5:03] » Um
[5:06] also I noticed that the ground coverings
[5:10] um I don't know what type of plant that
[5:11] was but it seems that they did not
[5:13] really take hold. So, one of the ground
[5:16] covering by the
[5:19] trash receptacles and recycling that
[5:22] seems to have taken, but the one that's
[5:25] right on the concrete where people stand
[5:26] by that tree, it's all just mulch. So,
[5:30] is are the ground coverings were also is
[5:33] that also
[5:34] » If RTOR Sean flagged it and the uh EDI
[5:38] have flagged it, it's going to get
[5:40] replaced. But if not, I'll go take a
[5:41] look before I leave. Take a picture of
[5:43] it and I'll send it to
[5:44] » Perfect. Um, can we also see the RTOR
[5:47] and Sean report of what was flagged? I
[5:50] just want to compare it to what
[5:52] » Yeah, I could get that. I think that's
[5:53] been distributed to the team a while
[5:54] back. Uh, we were
[5:55] » Is that the Excel document?
[5:56] » That was the Excel document. That was a
[5:58] while back.
[5:59] » Make sense of that. There's no visual
[6:02] » Any photos along to tag along with that
[6:04] that list, but I will I will provide
[6:06] that that director Segan list again.
[6:08] » Okay. Um, I know it's been a while since
[6:11] that list was derived because we weren't
[6:13] in the planting season um at that point
[6:15] in time. So, we had to wait for this
[6:16] this time frame to get it done.
[6:19] » When is the warranty up on the plants?
[6:22] » That's a one year one-year warranty. So,
[6:24] I would think
[6:25] » October 28th.
[6:26] » Yeah.
[6:26] » Okay. So, the other question I have has
[6:29] to do with the dog woods because I know
[6:31] that
[6:31] » Those were on the list.
[6:33] » Oh. Oh, so the dog woods are going to be
[6:35] replaced.
[6:35] » Yes.
[6:36] » Oh, that's great.
[6:38] » A lot of not let us know. But again,
[6:40] once DDI mobilizes here, we want to I
[6:42] want to be here or somebody should be
[6:43] here to take a look at what they're what
[6:45] they're swapping out.
[6:47] » Yep.
[6:47] » And then my last question is to do with
[6:50] the weeding.
[6:52] » Is is EDI supposed to be cleaned up?
[6:55] » When they're coming back to do the
[6:56] plantings, they're going to clean up of
[6:57] the beds and everything. And then at
[6:59] that point, I think Matt, I think that's
[7:01] when they're they're finished up.
[7:02] » Okay.
[7:03] and the bare areas that are mentioned,
[7:05] that's the grass,
[7:07] » The grass back in.
[7:08] » They're going to they're going to rece
[7:09] that and we're going to have them do the
[7:11] the sidewalk up to the sidewalk that
[7:13] » That's awesome. Thank you so much for
[7:14] that.
[7:14] » We're best to get them to do that.
[7:16] » Okay. And I also noticed um right in
[7:18] front of the glass facade between the
[7:20] pinnoke. It also looks like there's some
[7:22] bare spots in there.
[7:23] » Well, we'll have to have that.
[7:25] » Okay.
[7:26] » Um
[7:29] one more question about
[7:31] and
[7:42] » Too if anybody sees them out here too,
[7:44] don't be don't be afraid to go out and
[7:46] and you know chat with them and talk
[7:47] with them as well.
[7:48] » Okay. Sometimes I haven't seen them in a
[7:50] while, but it just might be the timing
[7:52] of when they come.
[7:54] » We can come back to you.
[7:55] » Okay.
[7:56] » That was just about the EDI.
[7:58] » Okay.
[7:58] » You got other things?
[7:59] » I got other things, too. um
[8:04] for the AV room closet. So, this
[8:07] proposal to fix it, what what does that
[8:10] mean? Pressure relief and heat relief.
[8:12] » Well, they're putting uh based on the
[8:14] proposal request provided by the
[8:15] engineer record and the design team.
[8:17] We're putting in a larger vent and
[8:19] another piece of duct work to vent the
[8:22] pressure to alleviate that noise, the
[8:24] pressure noise that we hear when we open
[8:26] that that vestibial door up,
[8:28] » As well as provide enough cooling and
[8:30] ambient air temperature to allow it to
[8:32] pass through to to cool off that AV
[8:34] closet.
[8:35] » Okay. So, because we know it's still so
[8:38] warm in there and we're in the cooling
[8:40] time frame, have we ever talked about
[8:42] putting in a split unit?
[8:44] » In the RFI that we asked a couple months
[8:47] ago, actually, when we were dealing with
[8:49] this issue, first and foremost, we put
[8:50] the suggested solution of a split uh
[8:53] system in there and it was struck down
[8:56] and we've installed.
[8:58] Currently, what we have now was was a
[9:00] proposal request and now we're basically
[9:03] proposal request. Let's call it number
[9:04] two. contingent is making the openings a
[9:07] little bit bigger with another another
[9:08] piece of duck work.
[9:09] » Okay. So, when that is done and we're in
[9:12] heating season, can we test out what the
[9:14] temperature is in that room? And if it's
[9:17] still over 80° regularly, can we revisit
[9:21] this solution?
[9:22] » Yeah, it would have to be revisited
[9:23] through RZ.
[9:26] » Okay.
[9:27] » We just build to it.
[9:28] » We just build to it. Okay. um because
[9:30] we're really concerned about that and it
[9:32] impacting the the length of
[9:36] » Of of course understood. That's a that's
[9:38] a design team question.
[9:40] » So okay, got it. Um
[9:46] the the HVAC concerns.
[9:50] So,
[9:52] I see how short and sweet that is, but I
[9:55] just want to for the record talk about
[9:58] how we've had we're we've been having
[10:00] HVAC meetings and just how complicated
[10:04] this is this issue is. And I know we
[10:08] keep saying there's just a few things
[10:10] left, but those few things left require
[10:12] many brains,
[10:13] » Many people,
[10:14] » And
[10:16] things that we hope will work to get to
[10:18] the next step.
[10:20] So
[10:26] I'm curious about this resequencing
[10:29] one. So I know that we had the radiant
[10:31] heating is still going on in our offices
[10:34] even though it's not supposed to.
[10:35] » It's part of the temporary systems right
[10:38] now to control humidity within the
[10:40] space.
[10:41] » Okay, I see. So the new resequencing
[10:44] » Will alleviate that issue. those those
[10:46] radiant panels won't come on until that
[10:48] set point is is set to where it's at
[10:50] provide the adequate heat correct during
[10:53] the during the heating season.
[10:55] » Um and I'm I'm also curious about um
[11:01] paying for resequencing.
[11:04] You know I how many times have we paid
[11:06] for resequencing at this point?
[11:08] » We got a change order proof last last
[11:10] committee meeting.
[11:11] » So just once.
[11:12] » Just once. Okay. Um,
[11:17] and
[11:20] when this work is done next week,
[11:24] is that the end of the to-do list or is
[11:26] there more things after next Thursday?
[11:28] » That should be the end of the to-do
[11:30] list, but after that work gets installed
[11:32] and everything is in place, programming,
[11:35] etc., we will have our commissioning
[11:38] agent Vanzel coming in and doing some
[11:40] final checks and balances of the
[11:41] systems.
[11:42] » Okay. All right. Uh they're going to be
[11:44] reviewing the radiant heat. We're going
[11:45] to be balancing the systems to those new
[11:47] parameters, let's call it, based on the
[11:49] resequencing.
[11:51] » Then that should be
[11:54] should be it.
[11:54] » Okay. Okay. Good. I'm hoping that that
[11:57] is
[11:57] » I'm hoping say rosary say a couple
[12:00] prayers
[12:01] » With the exception RTU number two.
[12:04] » Those parts have not been promised.
[12:06] » Right. So those so those parts that
[12:08] remember those wire harness issue that
[12:10] they were replacement under warranty.
[12:11] They are still they can't seem to find a
[12:14] part or piece for that. That would be
[12:15] the only thing that's left. But again,
[12:17] air number two is functioning. Well,
[12:20] they my understanding is they repaired.
[12:23] They're promised to replace. Correct.
[12:26] That's well said. We have everything we
[12:28] need, but it's a repaired item and we're
[12:32] going to get a new item. Wiring
[12:35] at some point. One carrier who gets
[12:37] their head out of the sand.
[12:40] Um,
[12:42] » And
[12:43] I I know that we were still finding
[12:46] things, the compressors not being
[12:48] online, whatever that issue was.
[12:51] » Um,
[12:54] I'm just worried that since we didn't
[12:56] take that into account and we were doing
[12:58] all of these things, how that impacts
[13:02] all the things that we did. That makes
[13:04] sense. It should. It should.
[13:07] Um,
[13:10] I think I think that that is it. Then
[13:13] » I I just want to amend
[13:16] how you open that whole sequence,
[13:19] Elizabeth.
[13:19] » Okay.
[13:20] » You're correct. Complicated. A lot of
[13:22] people involved, but that's behind us
[13:26] and we're looking at the solutions as a
[13:29] result of everybody getting involved and
[13:32] figuring it out. And now it's probably
[13:36] going to get done and you we're there.
[13:38] So, you know, I don't want people to
[13:41] feel alarmed that oh my god, there's
[13:43] still things that aren't working and it
[13:45] doesn't and this and you know, we're in
[13:47] a really good place with this. It's
[13:48] taken a very long time. Um, but uh
[13:53] unfortunately that's kind of the nature
[13:54] of this.
[13:56] Anytime you try and do anything in
[13:58] construction, it takes longer than you
[13:59] think.
[14:00] » Yes. said, "If it was as simple as going
[14:02] to my grandmother's house and turning on
[14:04] the window unit and setting the
[14:05] temperature and call it a day, we're
[14:06] good."
[14:07] » So, um, no, I I I feel good about where
[14:10] we're at with with all this. Um, so
[14:16] » We're saying the same thing at our next
[14:17] meeting.
[14:18] » We're saying the same. Okay. And I found
[14:20] what I did not ask about in regards to
[14:22] EDI, and that was the native grasses
[14:27] » They're growing in.
[14:28] » Okay. So,
[14:29] » We're not going to mow them down.
[14:30] Nobody's going to touch them. We're
[14:32] gonna let them grow.
[14:32] » Okay. And that was what was originally
[14:35] designed for the native.
[14:37] » Correct.
[14:38] » Good. So, what we are seeing is what's
[14:40] going to remain.
[14:41] » Yes.
[14:41] » Okay.
[14:41] » As long as it doesn't get mowed down or
[14:43] some sort of maintenance on there. So,
[14:45] we were told we can only mow it once a
[14:47] year,
[14:48] » Right?
[14:49] » And that's to allow the water to come up
[14:51] and down as needed. If anything,
[14:53] » Everything the vegetation to grow. I
[14:56] don't know if it's like a wildflower mix
[14:57] type of thing, but
[15:00] » In the days.
[15:00] » Sorry to inter interrupt, but Scott's in
[15:03] the waiting room. He's texting me. I'm
[15:05] sorry to interrupt.
[15:12] » Thank you. Sorry to interrupt.
[15:14] » Please let Scott in.
[15:16] » Okay.
[15:17] » Thank you.
[15:18] » Okay. Don't be late.
[15:21] » And I guess I have one more question
[15:22] that's related to the budget. Are we
[15:25] still holding money for the HVAC
[15:27] repairs?
[15:29] » That segway right into that.
[15:31] » Perfect.
[15:32] » Yes, that's new business.
[15:36] » Okay, you're good, Elizabeth?
[15:37] » Yes. Thank you.
[15:38] » Other questions for Anthony at this
[15:40] point? Matt,
[15:40] » Just have one. The EDI where it mentions
[15:43] about the bank planning of those plants.
[15:45] Where where did we
[15:48] not exactly sure where we left off
[15:50] » Right now? There's a there's some things
[15:52] happening. I got to get the list of
[15:53] plants that hopefully have survived the
[15:56] two years that they have been, you know,
[15:58] being held. Um, and the other question
[16:01] is is the potential cost associated with
[16:04] those plantings at the embankment right
[16:07] now that we have this wildflower mix or
[16:09] not the wildflower, the conservation mix
[16:10] that's growing that was originally
[16:12] planted that seems to be taken off fine.
[16:15] EDI was, you know, instead of filling
[16:18] that off and redoing it again and
[16:20] everything's growing back fine, you
[16:22] know, they they think there's going to
[16:23] be some additional cost through them for
[16:26] those embankment plantings. So, that's
[16:28] kind of where there's a two-step process
[16:30] here. What plants have survived, if any
[16:32] at all, at this point in time, and then
[16:35] what the potential cost would be for the
[16:37] labor installation for
[16:39] what?
[16:43] » It's all part of that. It was all part
[16:44] of the original the original original
[16:46] contract. So what what survived for the
[16:48] original contract at those would be
[16:50] installed if they survived or if they
[16:54] didn't survive we would have to
[16:55] repurchase them. Same kind. This is a
[16:59] design.
[17:03] Excuse me.
[17:06] Anything else? Any questions for Anthony
[17:08] at this point?
[17:10] Okay. Next, Anthony.
[17:11] » All righty. Let's go down to item V
[17:13] here. Requisitions and potential change
[17:15] orders,
[17:16] » Which I have to speak that go ahead.
[17:19] Okay. Um, this requisition was not uh
[17:23] shared with the committee in advance
[17:25] because it came in late
[17:27] » And therefore
[17:29] being an item uh pay item
[17:33] um and it's special meeting,
[17:36] we need a motion here to allow the
[17:40] submittal of this invoice uh for review
[17:43] and possible approval.
[17:46] » So moved by Mr. Burman, second by
[17:50] Patrick.
[17:51] » Discussion.
[17:53] Uh, all in favor of approving the
[17:56] motion, please say I.
[17:57] » I.
[18:00] » And any nays?
[18:03] Chair votes I. And that did require
[18:05] two/3 which we have. So that motion
[18:08] passes. And now you may proceed.
[18:11] » Right. I don't
[18:13] » Let me go into
[18:14] » We're going to do the same thing with
[18:15] the McMahon anyway.
[18:16] » Right. I don't know nothing about
[18:17] McMahon just prove
[18:21] » All righty. June 2026 requisition has
[18:24] been revised. Uh the last meeting that
[18:26] we had it got tabled the MJ daily costs
[18:30] in their final final billing as well as
[18:32] their retainage. We have since then
[18:34] pulled out the the MJ daily billing. We
[18:37] have pulled out their retainage billing
[18:39] request. So this June requisition in
[18:42] summary here um is going to be for the
[18:46] contractors that I'll talk about in a
[18:48] second. But Maniffort right we have the
[18:50] plaza issue with the course and that
[18:53] issue being taken care of right now with
[18:55] the analyticals and the data on that.
[18:58] But we did process Maniffort retainage a
[19:01] while back before the concrete plaza
[19:03] became an issue back in January of 2026.
[19:06] Um of 117,7332.37
[19:12] has been paid that we are holding the
[19:15] money um on on Maniffort until we get
[19:18] and figure out what's going happen at
[19:20] this plaza. Okay. So that money is the
[19:23] remaining payment to our subcontractor.
[19:25] » What was that figure again? $17,732.37.
[19:32] » Yep. Current remaining retainage to be
[19:35] build. The only subcontractor left that
[19:37] we have current billings to do and
[19:39] retainage that has to be built still is
[19:41] MJ Daily of $157,766.93.
[19:48] This is pending the carrier issues. So,
[19:50] no processing of the retainage is going
[19:53] to be on this June 2026 requisition.
[19:57] Once approved, if approved, the June
[20:00] 2026 requisition has repa retainage
[20:03] billings and release of payment to AEG,
[20:06] who is a Tyler flooring contractor, and
[20:08] AEG, who is our resilient flooring
[20:12] contractor. Uh we have two two retainage
[20:15] release uh amounts there. Uh once this
[20:17] requisition does get approved by the
[20:19] committee tonight, those will be
[20:20] released to AEG as there are no no punch
[20:23] list or no warranty issues with them
[20:25] currently.
[20:27] So tonight we are looking for this
[20:30] requisition in amount of $55,866.72
[20:35] cents to
[20:37] » So moved
[20:39] » By Mr. Ike.
[20:40] » We have a second
[20:42] by Mr. Berman. Um, I'd also like to note
[20:45] that um in addition to theund
[20:49] approximately 158,000 being retained uh
[20:53] on MJ Daly's contract, there is another
[20:57] $24,916
[21:00] plus a $9,000 change order on top of
[21:02] that of money being held
[21:03] » Which is which is not being which is
[21:06] still yet to be paid.
[21:07] » Correct. So in essence, you have about
[21:09] $185 $190,000
[21:13] till they finish.
[21:14] » I just have a question. How you get to
[21:15] the $55,000 total for that?
[21:18] » The $55,000 is the billings on this
[21:21] period, right?
[21:22] » Uhhuh.
[21:25] » All the way here at the bottom plus the
[21:27] retainage release that was on the A2
[21:29] contract. So it only shows up on the
[21:31] cover page because the retainage
[21:33] deduction goes down and it goes into the
[21:35] current payment, too. See? Yep.
[21:40] Other questions,
[21:42] comments?
[21:46] All right. All in favor of a motion to
[21:47] approve uh application and ser
[21:50] certificate for payment number 35 in the
[21:53] amount of $55,866.7.
[21:58] Please say I.
[21:59] » I.
[22:00] » I.
[22:01] » I.
[22:03] M.
[22:06] passes. Thank you, Anthony, for that.
[22:10] What else you got?
[22:11] » Let's keep swimming here. Budget and
[22:12] pending PCOS. We currently have none. I
[22:16] just want to go quicker only uh synopsis
[22:20] here of of the budget where we came in
[22:23] with our GMP all the approved change
[22:25] orders 1 through 29 to date with our GMP
[22:28] costs here. You'll see that there are no
[22:30] penny budget changes currently
[22:33] in the block. And the total amount is
[22:35] 28,271,584.25.
[22:40] And then you get into your CM uh CM
[22:43] contingency of what we have. We have our
[22:45] expenditures approved PCOS uh with a
[22:48] remaining contingency balance of $93,359
[22:54] uh with the projected balance coming
[22:55] back of $93,359.
[22:58] And that that is checks and balances. If
[23:01] you want to look back at the
[23:02] requisition, right, with all the
[23:04] expenditures to date, we don't have any
[23:06] pending ones. You see here, $93,35
[23:10] $359
[23:13] and that was all previous PCOS change
[23:16] orders. A big chunk of that was when we
[23:17] had the whole soils issue on the Riley
[23:19] lot that we had removed. Um, but again,
[23:22] here we are and uh this is what coming
[23:25] back.
[23:26] » Okay, question is for Anthony. You sent
[23:28] me that or did you already? I can send
[23:30] you to this. No problem.
[23:33] And the last one here, official PCOS and
[23:35] looking for committee approval tonight
[23:36] is nothing.
[23:40] » Good item.
[23:41] » The first.
[23:42] » That's a first. Maybe from the first
[23:44] meeting we originally had 100 meetings
[23:47] ago.
[23:48] » That's the light at the end of the
[23:49] tunnel right there.
[23:50] » Right there.
[23:53] questions for
[23:54] » Concrete update about the plaza where we
[23:57] » Yeah, right here we have a proposal uh
[23:59] the concrete plaza coring has been
[24:01] submitted. There was a 6 to8 week lead
[24:03] time on that. So, we're waiting to get
[24:04] those analyticals back sometime in
[24:06] midepptember.
[24:07] » We mid September.
[24:08] » Another middle week. We are
[24:12] » Not the middle
[24:14] midsepptember would be anything middle
[24:16] of next week on
[24:18] » Yep. We're close. We're pushing pushing.
[24:23] » All right.
[24:25] We have anything else for Anthony on
[24:26] pro?
[24:31] » No. Uh there any chance there might be
[24:34] any more age orders for proer?
[24:38] » I don't see it at this point in time. If
[24:40] there's a few handled back charges, you
[24:42] get it doesn't wouldn't matter. Uh it
[24:44] would be zero cost. Um but other than
[24:46] that, there's there's no pending ones at
[24:48] this point in time.
[24:50] » Unless the AV solution doesn't work.
[24:52] » Unless the AV solution does not work.
[24:55] We're holding out $40,000 for that
[24:58] potential
[25:00] or round three of that. Hopefully not.
[25:04] » Rely on our our design team for that and
[25:06] the engineering involved with that. Um I
[25:08] know RZ had the cut sheets, all the EV
[25:10] equipment in that space. Um what kind of
[25:13] heat it produces. So hopefully this this
[25:16] this solution goes goes through
[25:18] correctly.
[25:20] » Okay. So that present on and that
[25:23] $93,000
[25:25] gets released from construction
[25:28] contingency over owner's contingency
[25:33] » Right now. That means our owners
[25:34] contingency is in a minus category.
[25:40] » All I know is that the $93,000
[25:43] has been taken into consideration in our
[25:46] overall pick.
[25:47] » Right. I understand.
[25:48] » Right.
[25:50] Because theoretically
[25:52] we have $84,000
[25:56] available to us. It's not committed
[25:59] » Theoretic
[26:00] » Inclusive of that
[26:02] » Right 93. Yes. Yes.
[26:04] » Which means that we have we're sitting
[26:06] on a minus 9,000 under contingency
[26:10] because 93 is over there
[26:12] » If you carve out procer.
[26:15] » Right.
[26:15] » Correct. Correct. But but we're looking
[26:18] at both Understand?
[26:19] » Yes. Yes.
[26:20] » My point is just to clarify not only
[26:24] just for myself but for anybody what
[26:27] that 93,000 really means. Isn't extra
[26:31] money sitting there.
[26:34] It's already basically accounted for.
[26:36] » Some of it.
[26:37] » Yeah.
[26:37] » Some of it is
[26:38] » Some of it's basically accounted for.
[26:39] » Well, I just want to make sure that's
[26:42] clear to everybody
[26:43] » In the completion of of McMahon
[26:45] Winenberry. Yes.
[26:47] because everything's in basically one
[26:49] piece in
[26:50] » Correct in that sense
[26:54] else proper.
[26:58] Okay, thank you Anthony
[27:03] disappointed. All right, let's go
[27:05] to your buddies. Uh we got Johnny DS is
[27:08] here. Scott's here.
[27:11] » Good evening everyone. How are you?
[27:14] » Screen.
[27:17] » All righty. I apologize. I'm not there
[27:19] in person. I'm actually covering a
[27:21] second shift at the school in Norwich
[27:23] for some punch list work. So,
[27:27] um I'll go down our project update. Um
[27:30] sidewalk activities made some progress
[27:32] throughout the month of August with
[27:33] subtle significant exterior construction
[27:35] milestones achieved. Um the biggest
[27:38] being the parking lot um has been
[27:40] completed.
[27:42] Um they have completed my other has
[27:45] completed 100% of the project's planned
[27:47] concrete work which includes the pergola
[27:49] which has been which was approved last
[27:51] building committee meeting. Um further
[27:53] on the agenda we have that um price on
[27:57] the change order tied up based on some
[27:59] tickets TNM tickets.
[28:02] Current site work activities focus on
[28:04] the preparation of the of the remaining
[28:07] landscape and specialty paving
[28:08] improvements. um most noticeably the
[28:11] porest pavement uh at the children's
[28:14] garden area. Work is underway in uh
[28:17] preparation for that subgrade and as
[28:19] they subgrade in the stone base for that
[28:21] area. Um proper prep preparation for
[28:25] underlying subgrade and stone base is
[28:27] necessary is necessary to support that
[28:29] porest pavement and its drainage
[28:31] performance. So that is what's going on
[28:33] at the moment. Um with they're also
[28:36] working on the grading at the rain chain
[28:38] system. the bowl um that's going to be
[28:42] off the roof uh the way the the storm
[28:46] drainage collects the water through a
[28:48] special rain chain system.
[28:51] Uh site work activities continue um
[28:54] throughout September and include that
[28:55] porous pavement, the completion of the
[28:57] landscaping and the final pavement line
[29:01] striping.
[29:03] Um I want to note that RTOR and Sean has
[29:05] been to the site and they provided a
[29:07] field report. Um, one of those uh field
[29:11] reports, the biggest one had a
[29:12] deficiency with the curbing um is
[29:15] currently being reviewed with Mather on
[29:16] a uh to provide an acceptable fix. The
[29:20] timeline of that it is to be uh is to be
[29:24] determined in beginning of next week uh
[29:27] given it's acceptable.
[29:30] Um any questions on anything regarding
[29:34] the update? That's the same one that you
[29:37] sent me via email, right?
[29:39] » Yes. Yes, sir.
[29:41] » Question is for Johnny. Have one
[29:44] Patrick.
[29:44] » Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just Johnny,
[29:46] this may be actually a question for
[29:48] Jeff. I think we had talked about uh
[29:51] painting
[29:52] along the roof line on the outside of
[29:55] the building to make it more
[29:57] um he was going to investigate.
[30:00] » Oh, okay. So, so there's no update
[30:02] really on that.
[30:03] » No, I got to pick the color. So, I'm
[30:05] going to I'll drive over there and and
[30:07] take some good photos when the light's
[30:09] good and just figure out uh which color
[30:12] would be nice to do. Um, also, one quick
[30:16] thing is that I've calculated with rock
[30:18] the uh amount of water that's coming off
[30:20] those folder roofs, which is how we size
[30:22] the scupper. And I'm looking at a
[30:25] funnel-shaped rain chain um that will
[30:29] have an opening, a little wide opening
[30:31] so we don't have water splashing around
[30:33] just a normal chain and then that'll run
[30:35] the heat trace in it too. So I'm getting
[30:37] close to picking one. Um and then
[30:40] sharing it with everybody. Uh we'll get
[30:42] Matt's input on it and Glenn's input.
[30:45] So, the idea, the goal here is to do
[30:46] something that looks beautiful
[30:47] aesthetically that's going to tie into
[30:49] the children's garden, but also, you
[30:51] know, which will be a sculptural kind of
[30:53] element, but also uh be uh have a have a
[30:57] top cone that's wide enough to capture
[31:00] any heavy rain that might be coming down
[31:02] there. I know that my opening is about
[31:04] three three and a half inches at the end
[31:06] of this cuper. So, I'm working on
[31:07] getting something that's four four and a
[31:09] half at the top so that we can contain
[31:12] the water as a sculpture element and not
[31:14] have it splash all over the place. So,
[31:15] I'm working on that as well. So, those
[31:17] are two things that I got to I got to
[31:19] do. I'm working on
[31:21] » And I think I think with that color up
[31:22] there, I think it will just completely
[31:24] transform the the library. I mean, we're
[31:26] already close with the canopies and the
[31:28] children garden, everything, all the new
[31:29] work that we're going, but once we do
[31:31] that, I think that it'll really pump it
[31:33] really look good for the community. So,
[31:37] Thank you John also that rain chain has
[31:40] not been accounted for in any type of a
[31:44] uh public works is providing the plane
[31:48] » They're paying for it as far as I know
[31:51] by others we'll we'll discuss has a
[31:54] funny look on his
[31:56] let's see what let's see what Jeff picks
[31:58] for us and then we'll
[32:00] » Yeah I'll I'll work with Matt and Glenn
[32:02] on that too because I know they have
[32:04] options of stainless and aluminum Um,
[32:05] and LUIM is non-corrosive and it's
[32:07] probably less expensive. So, um, and it
[32:10] might even pull nicer into the the color
[32:12] of the canopy. So, I'm I'm looking at
[32:15] all options. So, don't be alarmed. I'm
[32:17] not going to pick a million dollar rain
[32:18] chain. So,
[32:21] » There may be one
[32:22] » Donated by TSKP.
[32:25] » Actually, actually, it' be nice to just
[32:27] have somebody fabricate that thing if
[32:29] they can work in stainless. It' be TIG
[32:30] welding. So, it' be nice to do some have
[32:32] an artist do something really cool.
[32:34] Anyway,
[32:36] » Right. Other questions for Johnny. Uh,
[32:38] Mr. Burman, and then we'll go to Matt.
[32:39] » Thank you, Chair. Uh, Johnny, what's the
[32:42] problem with the curbing?
[32:44] » So, the issue with the curbing is at the
[32:46] end of the transition where the curbing
[32:50] dies down and transitions into the
[32:53] adjacent material. In this case, it's a
[32:55] sidewalk. In this case, it's the
[32:56] remaining of a different type of system.
[32:59] Um, the issue was that
[33:02] Mather didn't provide a 3-FFT transition
[33:05] piece. As you see here, it's not sloped,
[33:08] and they they caught it a little too
[33:09] late where the concrete curving had um
[33:13] had gotten too cool, so it couldn't be
[33:15] as easily uh maneuverable. So, um that's
[33:20] that's the issue at the moment. It's
[33:21] it's not um uh it's not acceptable at
[33:26] the moment.
[33:27] » Okay. Thank you.
[33:29] an error on the contractor's part.
[33:32] » Yes.
[33:33] » Should be no cost to us.
[33:35] » Correct. Matt,
[33:36] » I just was wondering, Johnny, do you
[33:38] have any updates on the boulders? I know
[33:40] I've been working with Jason this week
[33:42] on the boulders. And
[33:44] » Um I know that Jason said that he was in
[33:48] uh possession of a couple boulders, more
[33:51] specifically the smaller types. I think
[33:53] it was type one through three. Um and
[33:55] he's in contact with Gary um with RTOR
[33:58] and Segan to see if those are
[33:59] acceptable.
[34:00] » Okay.
[34:00] » Um that's where we're at the moment.
[34:02] There was correspondence back and forth
[34:04] today between the two of them to try to
[34:06] come to a resolution of the boulders
[34:07] that they had are acceptable.
[34:09] » Um and I think where we left it is that
[34:12] Gary wants to see the boulders um in
[34:14] person rather than a photo.
[34:16] » Okay. Thank you.
[34:19] » Uh Glenn, you still have your hand up?
[34:21] » Uh no. I had the same question as Matt
[34:23] did about the boulders.
[34:25] » I'll I'll have um I'll have Jason reach
[34:28] out to you, Matt, tomorrow. I I
[34:31] » Yeah, he'll reach out to you guys
[34:32] tomorrow. I know that he's kind of
[34:34] spearheading an alternate, smaller, more
[34:38] maneuverable boulder.
[34:41] » Anything else, Elizabeth? I just wanted
[34:43] to second the need to have those
[34:46] boulders be more symmetric and smaller
[34:49] in line with the original design of the
[34:52] children's reading garden. So, I'm I'm
[34:54] glad to hear that we're looking at that
[34:57] and I hope that the committee can follow
[34:59] that conversation and if needed um help
[35:04] make that happen immediately.
[35:08] » Okay.
[35:10] So, does that mean the Phil the boulders
[35:12] that were at Philly Park are not
[35:14] acceptable? They're too big. Oh, okay.
[35:16] So, I missed that part in between them.
[35:19] I
[35:19] » Really didn't know till this week. We we
[35:21] relocated them all over there. Yeah.
[35:23] » But then when the architect, I guess,
[35:26] saw them,
[35:27] » Suddenly decided they're not going to
[35:28] fit.
[35:29] » Okay. Okay. So, I thought he had
[35:31] » They reached their final destination.
[35:33] Now, they can find a home somewhere on
[35:34] the property at this point.
[35:36] » He measured them. He went there and
[35:37] actually grown on the way over.
[35:40] » Yeah.
[35:42] » Older farm somewhere. He would not have
[35:44] » Like Glenn said, we're not moving them
[35:46] again. We moved them there. So
[35:49] » Okay. Well, thank you. I
[35:51] » Have a tag sale. That's right.
[35:54] » You move it.
[35:55] » Okay.
[35:56] » Uh other questions for Johnny.
[36:00] » Right. Johnny, you
[36:02] » Thank you. Uh we'll continue into the
[36:04] requisition in the PCO section. Um first
[36:08] up is the requisition. Uh I apologize
[36:11] for not getting it to the committee
[36:13] earlier, but we do have a printed copy I
[36:15] believe on the table. Um Mark, we're
[36:19] looking to approve I believe
[36:21] $287,897.50.
[36:28] Joe,
[36:28] » We're okay on this one.
[36:29] » Well, my question is is
[36:33] We're not paying downs to 287, right?
[36:36] We're paying to
[36:38] Mather. We have the town has a contract,
[36:41] correct,
[36:42] » With Mather,
[36:43] » Right,
[36:43] » For this. So,
[36:46] Mather's submitting an invoic. I don't
[36:47] want things getting paid twice.
[36:50] » Joe, uh, Downs didn't submit an invoice
[36:53] for this committee meeting. We did that
[36:55] last meeting. Um, this is strictly for
[36:56] Mather Corporation, who has yet to
[36:59] submit an invoice for this entire
[37:00] project yet.
[37:02] um they had some scheduled value issues
[37:04] that had to be worked through and it
[37:06] took some time on their part. So they
[37:08] finally got through it and through the
[37:10] review of their billing and this is
[37:12] their very first billing.
[37:14] » Okay. So this is being paid to Nather,
[37:18] not to Downs.
[37:19] » Correct. We're just facilitating the
[37:21] invoice to you. Um the payment does not
[37:23] go to Downs for us to pay them. We don't
[37:26] have a contract with them. We're just
[37:28] simply uh facilitating as we've been
[37:30] asked to.
[37:35] » Yeah. So, this is permitted and uh we
[37:38] don't need any special motion on this
[37:40] submitted. Submit. Okay. We're good.
[37:43] » All right. Uh do we have a motion to
[37:45] approve this uh application number one?
[37:48] » Move.
[37:50] » Moved Mr. Burman.
[37:52] » Moved by Mr. Burman. Second by
[37:56] » Second
[37:56] » Patrick. Thank you. All right. Uh
[37:59] discussion and questions.
[38:07] Hearing none. Uh all in favor of
[38:09] approving application and certificate
[38:11] for claim for uh Mic corporation
[38:15] application number one in the amount of
[38:16] $287,89750.
[38:21] Please say I. I
[38:24] » Naining
[38:27] motion passes
[38:29] right. Thank you for that. What else?
[38:32] » Thank you.
[38:34] » Um we do have some budgeted PCOS I'd
[38:37] like to go through first. Um first is
[38:39] PCO number six which has to do with
[38:42] flattening the front lawn soil. Um we
[38:45] did receive a TNN ticket from Mather. Um
[38:47] that we are just awaiting a PCO from
[38:49] them with a cost associated to the work
[38:52] applied.
[38:53] Um PCO number eight and next one is a
[38:56] test pit of yard drain number five. The
[38:59] amount of $300 was requested and uh
[39:03] that's the budget for that.
[39:06] And we had PCO number nine irrigation
[39:09] sleeves installed for future use. Um,
[39:12] this was a request from the DPW, I
[39:14] believe, to install irrigation sleeves
[39:16] underneath the parking lot for uh for
[39:19] the intended use of in the future. Um,
[39:22] that's showing a budgeted amount, excuse
[39:25] me, of $1,000. So, we have PCO 6, 8, and
[39:29] 9 shown as in front of you.
[39:34] » We'll hear again from from from you on
[39:36] those when we get firm uh
[39:38] » Firm numbers. We aren't going to pay for
[39:42] flattening the front lawn
[39:44] before we do an irrigation system, are
[39:48] we? Or how's that going to work?
[39:49] » Well, they they had to flatten it, so we
[39:52] can't move.
[39:52] » Okay. That was I just didn't want it be
[39:54] torn up twice.
[39:55] » I know.
[39:57] » Correct. Okay. I'll move on to official
[40:00] PCOS if that's okay.
[40:02] » Yep.
[40:02] » Okay. Official PCO. Um last um committee
[40:07] meeting we approved a not to exceed
[40:09] number of uh $12,000. Um since then
[40:15] Mather has provided a
[40:18] uh cost based on their labor and they
[40:20] have added a TNM ticket. Um the cost
[40:23] that we are looking to approve um and to
[40:26] amend PCO number seven from before the
[40:29] final hard price is $11,4346
[40:38] and we have a motion to approve that.
[40:40] » I move approve the number seven amount
[40:43] of 11,4346
[40:47] » By Mr. Burman seconded by
[40:52] second Patrick.
[40:53] » Thank you very much.
[40:55] » Questions, comments? Lois
[40:57] » Taxes removed.
[40:59] » Tax is removed. Deb. Yes, please.
[41:02] » And the description of the project.
[41:05] Last time we talked about needing to do
[41:07] this now before the perky pave was laid
[41:12] so that we didn't have to dig it up and
[41:14] do it later. There is a statement in the
[41:17] uh description of this on the on the for
[41:21] the CPO that says this work will require
[41:25] excavation through the completed perky
[41:28] pave markup errors that have already
[41:31] been installed.
[41:33] So now I'm confused.
[41:36] It's not I don't believe that's the
[41:38] actual perky pave. I believe that's the
[41:40] m mark area that they were laying base
[41:43] for. No, I I believe that they're going
[41:45] to pour, correct me if I'm wrong,
[41:46] everybody, but I believe they were going
[41:48] to pour I think a 2 inch or less just
[41:50] over the top of those
[41:52] » Foundations, but I think they ended up
[41:54] pouring them a little bit tall according
[41:55] to Gary, which is fine. So that would
[41:57] just mean um the anchoring of the
[42:00] pergola would uh go through the perk
[42:03] down to the foundations. So whether
[42:06] that's a circle that's cut out for them
[42:08] to do the attachments and um expose the
[42:12] uh circle of the foundations um or
[42:15] replace it with that perky pave section.
[42:17] Um but there is a whole procedure to do
[42:19] that. So I mean that's my understanding.
[42:21] I mean that's pretty much sequence wise
[42:23] that's the only way we can really do it.
[42:25] So we wanted to get that perky pave over
[42:27] everything um so that when the future
[42:29] pergola comes then we can actually just
[42:32] attach it to uh the footings and
[42:35] foundations.
[42:37] » So so that statement Lois is what's
[42:39] coming in the future.
[42:40] » Yeah.
[42:41] » When installed
[42:44] » Uh a circle have to be cut out above
[42:47] each one of these.
[42:48] » Yeah. So the confusing thing here is and
[42:49] I agree with Lois the word excavation.
[42:52] There's not going to be any excavation.
[42:54] So it's basically localized uh
[42:56] connection to the pergola.
[42:59] » Thank you.
[43:01] » Other questions?
[43:06] » Right. All in favor of the uh Mather
[43:10] Corp uh cost for the
[43:15] Corta Foundations and the amount of we
[43:17] have that amount again 11,446
[43:21] or 346 cents. Please say I.
[43:24] » I.
[43:25] » I.
[43:26] » I.
[43:26] » Any nays?
[43:29] Anybody abstaining?
[43:32] Passes.
[43:33] » Thank you.
[43:34] » Thank you. Um All right. I got some
[43:36] photos here at the end of my agenda. I'd
[43:38] like to share. Um the maintenance strip
[43:41] here shown around the uh this is the
[43:44] south um elevation.
[43:47] Um, we got the concrete uh, excuse me,
[43:51] the uh, parking lot pavement here. See
[43:55] the uh, the buminous curb as well.
[44:00] Another photo of the maintenance strip.
[44:04] Here's a nice photo of the pavement.
[44:08] Another photo of the pavement. This is
[44:10] for the future dumpster pad location.
[44:13] Dumpster location.
[44:16] And that was it. 77.
[44:20] Thank you everyone.
[44:23] » Any last questions for John?
[44:25] » It's such an extreme difference for
[44:27] anybody who drives by what and what is
[44:30] now. Like looks so much cleaner.
[44:34] » Great.
[44:36] Okay. Thank you, Johnny. Thank you,
[44:38] Scott.
[44:40] » Let's go to uh our architect, Jeff. Got
[44:44] anything for us tonight? Uh, other than
[44:47] reviewing RFIs and submitts as they come
[44:49] in, I know I got to pick the color for
[44:52] the upper part of McMahon Library. Um,
[44:56] and the rain chain. So, that's basically
[45:02] on my hot list to do like everything
[45:04] else. Gary's been out there to do his
[45:06] field reports, so he's catching things
[45:09] as I go. So, so far I think um between
[45:13] DS and Gary checking things over and
[45:15] making sure they're doing things right,
[45:16] I think we're in good shape.
[45:19] » Great questions for Jeff.
[45:23] » All right. Thanks, Jeff.
[45:26] » All right. Uh purchasing
[45:29] Joe, you got something else before we do
[45:30] that. I think you had a couple of
[45:34] proposals.
[45:35] » I did. I had the uh proposal for the
[45:38] irrigation. Ah,
[45:40] » I can hear that. That's coming.
[45:42] » Yes, that was uh sent out.
[46:04] There's the first one.
[46:09] » So, this is for the irrigation work. Uh,
[46:12] I did receive three quotes. They were
[46:14] obviously the cheapest. $12,111.
[46:19] It includes nine zones. uh be 67 heads I
[46:23] believe total.
[46:25] Um
[46:28] so looking for
[46:32] we have a motion to approve.
[46:33] » So moved
[46:34] » By Mr. I second
[46:37] » By Mr. Burman. Questions?
[46:41] » There's tax in here.
[46:47] 723
[46:49] » Uh tax.
[46:51] » No problem.
[46:53] » I'll be sure they've
[46:57] » 112
[47:01] » 23
[47:03] » $11,388.
[47:07] » Thank you. Thank you, Clark. Is that
[47:12] Patrick?
[47:13] » So, where do we have this in our budget?
[47:16] Was this part of it?
[47:18] » Uh, no sir. We were going to gather that
[47:20] during the project. We we left it out.
[47:22] We planned for it. You know, we put the
[47:24] sleeves in and did everything. We we
[47:27] said we would, you know, reach out.
[47:29] Mathers didn't want it. They didn't have
[47:31] anybody. We tried to go through them,
[47:33] but they didn't have anybody that would
[47:34] do it.
[47:35] » So then we reached out on our own to get
[47:38] three quotes. And
[47:39] » So is this coming out of our
[47:40] contingency?
[47:41] » This would come out of our contingency.
[47:42] Okay. I mean I I have asked Joe um to as
[47:47] he's been doing to you know keep us on
[47:50] track with our remaining. So
[47:55] » This is the first thing as far as I know
[47:56] though that's come out kind of
[47:58] » Oh no the um the foundation
[48:00] » The foundation and uh and then those we
[48:03] have three PCOS that
[48:06] » That are coming yeah but right now
[48:09] » Ones that as far as approval it's so
[48:11] we're looking at like maybe 24,000
[48:15] » Out of our right
[48:18] » Okay my question thank you
[48:22] » All All right. All in favor of approving
[48:24] the Fornier irrigation
[48:27] uh proposal in the amount the revised
[48:29] amount 11,38

[48:44] What else? Got
[48:46] » One more
[48:48] electrical. Yes, sir.
[48:52] This next one you see is for the book
[48:55] locker that was purchased for Winbury.
[48:59] We have to have an additional outlet put
[49:01] outside along with an Ethernet drop or
[49:05] drop to obviously work to function. So
[49:08] again this was not in the scope of work
[49:11] for matters. So we reached out to get an
[49:14] electrician to do it.
[49:18] I
[49:18] » I move approval of
[49:21] Uh, who is it?
[49:23] » Online.

[49:48] this. So it would be nice if the motion
[49:51] could include what it was for
[49:54] » Outlet and internet connection.
[49:56] » The book drop
[49:57] » For the book drop
[50:00] with that Mr. Secer.

[53:37] Thank you for that. That is all that is
[53:41] all I have.
[53:43] » Thanks.
[53:43] » Uh other items from the committee, Mr.
[53:45] Bur.
[53:46] » I have two questions that I don't know
[53:48] if anybody answers to. Number one, where
[53:51] do we stand on the lead certification?
[53:54] Number two, where do we stand on the
[53:56] solar
[53:57] power?
[53:59] » Okay, lead. Uh, Anthony, can you help
[54:01] me?
[54:02] » Now, I know Cynthia's uploaded it to
[54:04] lead online and it's going through the
[54:05] the review process there. I'll find
[54:08] » I know she was waiting on some
[54:10] information from the engineers um the
[54:13] electric engineers, but I that was a
[54:15] while ago. So, I don't know if there's
[54:16] any
[54:17] » Morphed into uh working with SLR on the
[54:20] rain uh the rainwater. Um I think we're
[54:24] past that. So, I think it's submitted
[54:26] fully to lead online, but I'll double
[54:28] check with Cynthia, and we'll get the
[54:30] facts straight and making sure we get
[54:32] the team updated here on what's
[54:34] » Okay. Yeah, I think you're right,
[54:35] Anthony.
[54:36] » Okay, good.
[54:38] » And Joe, you have anything further
[54:40] around our solar panels?
[54:42] » Yeah. Uh Glenn can correct me if I'm
[54:44] wrong too, but I believe there we have a
[54:46] kickoff meeting I think in a couple
[54:48] weeks or next week maybe for the solar
[54:51] at Proser, but I don't think
[54:53] construction will start till next year.
[54:55] That's correct.
[54:57] » Next year when?
[54:58] » Yeah. And Proser, while we're talking
[55:00] about the solar, I wanted to make sure
[55:02] that the initial roof inspection, all
[55:05] the deficiency items that were found by
[55:07] the solar installer were in fact
[55:09] prepared by Silk Town and were ready to
[55:11] go. Yeah, I'll follow up with that. Uh,
[55:14] Glenn, I'll see where they are.
[55:16] » Okay, I appreciate that.
[55:19] » Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Anthony.
[55:20] Is this a ballasted system?
[55:23] » It is.
[55:23] » It is. Okay. So I think that yeah I
[55:26] think agree with what Glenn's saying
[55:28] because there's anything penetrating the
[55:29] roof typically what we'll do to not void
[55:31] the warranty is we'll have to get a
[55:32] letter from the roofing manufacturer to
[55:33] make sure that any boot or any patch or
[55:36] anything that we do for that system if
[55:38] it's dunage that is anchored directly to
[55:40] the structure needs to be you know
[55:43] signed off on. But as long as it's all
[55:44] ballasted, which is basically the the
[55:46] weights on the roof with the pads, I
[55:48] think I think you'll be good. But I
[55:49] agree with Glenn and make sure that
[55:52] » Let me double check, Glenn, because that
[55:53] was sent to wild to Silk Town a while
[55:55] back.
[55:56] » All right. I appreciate it.
[55:57] » No problem.
[56:00] » Next year.
[56:02] » Do we know next year when?
[56:04] » No.
[56:05] » Yeah, I should know more when we have
[56:06] that kickoff meeting to describe it.
[56:09] Initially, I I believe the completion
[56:11] date was going to be September 27.
[56:14] » Yes, I believe
[56:14] » Of 2027
[56:17] » Originally.
[56:18] » Originally,
[56:20] in other words, Elizabeth, plan for a
[56:23] minimum of half a year before you have
[56:25] any solar.
[56:29] » All right. Other items from the
[56:31] committee?
[56:32] » Mr. Chair,
[56:33] » Patrick Lis, did you have yours first?
[56:36] Sure.
[56:36] » I just wondered what's happening about
[56:37] the garage. Seems to me it's been closed
[56:40] for quite a long time now.
[56:42] » Yes, ma'am. Currently, we're just
[56:44] waiting on the sprinkler heads, the
[56:46] drops. They had to order them. The
[56:48] ceiling's all done. That's the only
[56:50] thing left is installed. There's 12
[56:52] drops that have to be installed, the
[56:54] sprinkler heads. So, they had to order
[56:56] special lengths
[56:58] » And we can't use it in the meantime.
[57:00] » I've reached out to the fire marshall
[57:02] and the building official. They won't
[57:04] let us use it with it shut down.
[57:06] » Thank you. Did they catch the guy?
[57:09] » They did.
[57:10] » They actually have an arrest warrant for
[57:12] him as we speak.
[57:13] » Wow.
[57:15] » Is he going to pay for it?
[57:16] » He is. Or his insurance company is.
[57:20] » Good.
[57:24] » All right.
[57:25] » Oh, thank you, Mr. Chair. So, last night
[57:28] I was wearing my board of trustees hat
[57:32] um and we had some discussion, you know,
[57:34] as the project is nearing its end. There
[57:36] was some discussion about the acceptance
[57:38] of the building by the board of
[57:39] trustees.
[57:41] And so I was hoping that we could get
[57:44] some clarification on exactly what this
[57:46] means. Like what are the roles and
[57:48] responsibilities of the board of
[57:49] trustees in acceptance of this building
[57:52] when it's complete as it relates to the
[57:55] charge that was given to the LBC by the
[57:58] then mayor?
[58:00] Um I have yes I have been carrying
[58:03] around our charge because it's and I was
[58:06] hoping to present this uh soon to the to
[58:10] the committee so we're all aware of what
[58:11] needs to happen at the end because like
[58:13] I said we can see that
[58:14] » See the light at the end. So, um I'm
[58:17] going to read from our charge um
[58:20] uh that says after construction has been
[58:23] completed to the satisfaction of the
[58:26] building committee and the proer public
[58:29] library board of directors has been
[58:32] asked for its comments, the building
[58:35] committee shall refer the facility to
[58:37] the town council for acceptance with a
[58:41] report on the status of the facility
[58:44] including the comments of the crosser
[58:46] public library board of directors
[58:49] together with warranties and blah blah
[58:51] blah all that stuff which has actually
[58:53] already been submitted to public works
[58:55] and town officials. But uh so that
[58:57] describes the relationship. Um, so when
[59:00] the building committee believes we're
[59:03] ready to accept the building, then uh my
[59:07] plan is to attend a board of trustees
[59:10] meeting and view that and elicit
[59:13] comments to go with our presentation
[59:17] through town council.
[59:19] » That's how all that would happen. That
[59:21] helps clarify because I for one was not
[59:24] really understanding what our role was
[59:27] as a board of trustees in accepting the
[59:30] building. So really the only role that
[59:33] the board of trustees would have is to
[59:36] provide comment back to the LCB which
[59:40] would then be taken in cons taken into
[59:44] consideration go to town council.
[59:47] » Right. And it's up to council to accept,
[59:50] right? Or say, "Oh, we're not ready to
[59:52] accept."
[59:53] » Right? So, it's not up to the board of
[59:55] trustees to accept or not accept the
[59:58] building upon turnover. We provide
[1:00:01] comment,
[1:00:02] » Right? And you're you're free the board
[1:00:04] of trustees is free to comment however
[1:00:06] the board would like.
[1:00:07] » Would like to, right? Okay. That
[1:00:09] definitely helps because there was, you
[1:00:10] know, we were discussing some of this
[1:00:12] last night.
[1:00:14] I wasn't clear myself on what the charge
[1:00:17] really said. So, so thank you.
[1:00:20] » Well, thank you for that. Thank you for
[1:00:21] that clearing around that charge.
[1:00:25] » I know. I should look up my copy of it.
[1:00:27] » Lois,
[1:00:28] » I would think that since the board of
[1:00:30] trustees has been heavily involved in
[1:00:33] all of the meetings that their comments,
[1:00:36] we wouldn't expect their comments to be
[1:00:39] surprising.
[1:00:42] That's a nice thought. Thank you.
[1:00:49] » They are free to make comments. They're
[1:00:51] » We do communicate effectively all of the
[1:00:54] things that
[1:00:55] » Is going on that we are concerned about
[1:00:57] that we are watching that we hope to be
[1:01:00] completed. All of those the the library
[1:01:02] board of trustees is involved in all of
[1:01:03] that.
[1:01:04] » Absolutely. I concur. And many of the
[1:01:07] items we discussed tonight were all
[1:01:09] discussed last night.
[1:01:13] Um, I had a comment and that was uh
[1:01:17] maybe it's up to Scott. Scott, are you
[1:01:20] going to present um
[1:01:22] the uh proposal for an extended warranty
[1:01:25] at Proser?
[1:01:29] » Yeah. Not tonight though.
[1:01:32] » Not tonight.
[1:01:32] » Nope.
[1:01:33] » All right. I know DS has been working
[1:01:36] with MJ Daily on um
[1:01:39] uh an extended warranty
[1:01:42] on uh all of their work and I my
[1:01:45] understanding is the the talks have been
[1:01:47] extremely successful. Um I guess there's
[1:01:50] still something to wrap up that true.
[1:01:53] » Yes, that's correct.
[1:01:56] » Next meeting.
[1:01:58] » All right. Other items for the calendar,
[1:02:01] » Mr. Bur. Thank you. For our next
[1:02:03] meeting, would it be at all possible to
[1:02:05] have financial reports and where we
[1:02:09] stand in terms of
[1:02:11] unencumbered funds at this point in time
[1:02:14] at that point in time? So, we know
[1:02:16] exactly what we have left.
[1:02:19] » Does that sound doable?
[1:02:21] » No.
[1:02:22] » Is that possible?
[1:02:23] » Yeah.
[1:02:25] » Yes. Thank you. Because right right now
[1:02:28] we're kind of working in the dark a
[1:02:31] little bit. I mean, I have an idea in my
[1:02:33] head, but I suspect I'm way off.
[1:02:39] » All right, other comments.
[1:02:43] Um, this was asked of me to bring up by
[1:02:47] the insurance and risk manager of the
[1:02:50] town. And the question was, why
[1:02:54] wasn'tification
[1:02:56] made to her when there was an accident
[1:03:01] that damaged equipment or damaged a
[1:03:05] table out in the front of McMahon
[1:03:09] Whittenbury Library
[1:03:11] last year.
[1:03:16] I'm I'm not aware of what uh
[1:03:19] » Uh car came off the road by avoiding
[1:03:22] another vehicle, came across the
[1:03:26] um
[1:03:28] concrete. There were tire marks across
[1:03:30] the concrete, black tire marks from
[1:03:32] skidding and hit one of the tables which
[1:03:36] was and needs to be replaced.
[1:03:40] Not sure that's a library building
[1:03:41] committee discussion to be had.
[1:03:43] » Thank you. That took the words out of my
[1:03:45] mouth. I don't think the building
[1:03:47] committee is simply an operational
[1:03:50] issue. So, okay.
[1:03:51] » I think there might have been some
[1:03:53] confusion. Um she she may have thought
[1:03:54] it was related somehow to the project or
[1:03:57] happened during the project, but um it
[1:04:00] was like last November or something
[1:04:02] totally unrelated. Um if she's asking
[1:04:04] about that, Joe.
[1:04:06] » Okay. I'll I'll advise her. That's all.
[1:04:09] All right. Any other items from the
[1:04:11] committee?
[1:04:12] » I I had a totally random question. Um I
[1:04:15] was just scrolling through some pictures
[1:04:17] I had taken of the job site in my phone
[1:04:20] and I just want to verify uh the cross
[1:04:22] slope on the driveway apron. Um the
[1:04:25] sidewalk that goes through is that cross
[1:04:28] slope intended to be uh less than 2%
[1:04:32] to match the sidewalk.
[1:04:36] » I suppose that's Jeff. uh in your your
[1:04:39] ballpark.
[1:04:41] » I just noted it was rather steep walking
[1:04:44] across it and I just want to make sure
[1:04:45] if it was intended to be
[1:04:47] » Can you send me that picture and uh your
[1:04:50] question and I'll I'll get an answer for
[1:04:52] you.
[1:04:53] » All right. Thank you.
[1:04:53] » Is that just at the which which end of
[1:04:56] the drive is that the
[1:04:57] » Um towards the the east closer to the
[1:05:01] fire department?
[1:05:02] » Okay. Yeah. send me a picture and then
[1:05:04] yeah,
[1:05:06] we'll we'll double check it with the
[1:05:08] drawings and make sure.
[1:05:09] » All right. Thank you.
[1:05:13] » Okay, other items from the committee.
[1:05:19] » All right, let's move on to future
[1:05:21] meetings we've got. And thank you
[1:05:23] everybody for accommodating us one week
[1:05:26] earlier than planned tonight. Next

[1:05:33] and then uh November 18th
[1:05:37] and uh with that uh any members of the
[1:05:41] public with their hand up.
[1:05:45] Okay, thank you for joining us with that
[1:05:49] motion.
