SOMERS SCHOOL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE

June 17, 2004

Members Present: H.Broer, T.Cowles, K.Klein, J.Butler, J.Formeister, J.O’Brien

Ex-Officio: B.Boutwell

Others: E.Zahner

The meeting was called to order at 7:30pm by J.Formeister

E.Zahner explained the situation with the water lines that need to be moved at SHS. Discussion followed. Work can’t begin till the easement is completed; we’re waiting for the Town Attorney and contract from Valerie Hodder of CT Water Co. Town Fire Marshall will not allow water to be turned off for more than 4 hours at a time. The cost is expected to be $47,648, and the Committee expects there will be re-imbursement from All-Phase and from CT Water Co.’s contingency. A motion was made (O’Brien), seconded (Cowles), and unanimously approved to approve up to $48,000 to CT Water Co. to have water lines moved.

Update SHS---E.Zahner distributed Report for 6-2. CL&P approved moving the power lines and was paid on 6/11/04 for the wire. Work is scheduled for 6/25/04 since power to the school will be shut off (rain date 6/28). Conduits are already in place. A rough estimate from G.Lloyd to complete electrical is $11,000. A change order will be forthcoming. This work totaling $16,000 and water lines $48,000 are depleting our contingency rapidly.

Update SES---temporary fencing is coming 6/18. A meeting was held with the excavator; work will start as soon as children are out of school. Bill Petronella of Enfield Builders has called the Somers Building Inspector, who has not returned calls. He wants to know initial concerns of Building Inspector so they can be resolved.
