Parties concerned over moving forward with confidence. PBC asked for discussion with Daedalus Projects for evaluation of project schedule and Options on carrying forward with TLT. Two tasks requested. 1. Explore options on contract completion and how each path (termination for cause, termination for convenience, contact bonding company, etc.) would effect project completion, path, schedule, costs, and overall impact to project. 2. Examine project schedule (Construction & recovery) from TLT and evaluate the soundness / logic of the schedule, cash flow, and other aspects to be sure what is proposed is sound. Motion to empower Facilities to request proposal, up to $20,000 and to engage Daedalus to perform an evaluation of the proposed project schedule, cash flow, and contract options with TLT for the Bridge & Bowman Project. Motion: Jon 2: Eric Vote: 8-0 nd 4.43 Discussion with Daedalus on GC Contract 12/13/12 Bob White from Daedalus projects led a discussion on the processes and impact of termination of a construction contract. Termination for cause: Can be a very difficult process. Town counsel will need time to review all of the materials and facts before giving advice on whether or not to proceed. Most likely avenue would be failure to administer or to provide skilled labor or materials. Legal costs would same GC for completion. Bonding Company could take 3-6 months to evaluate. Summer 2013 work likely canceled. Termination for convenience: Project would be audited and the town would buy out oh&p from GC. Daedalus estimates approx. $700,000 payment to GC plus cost to re-engineer project and re-bid. There would likely be a premium added by the new GC. Summer 2013 work likely canceled. Overall added costs could easily exceed $1 to 1.5 million. Continuation of Contract with GC: Bob talked with GC and met with the Owners, they want to turn project around. Best advice from Daedalus is work with GC and find a way to make the project better. Brief discussion on expansion of Daedalus services. Daedalus is already on board to review new schedule when it comes out from TLT, and provide feedback on schedule and viability. Any expansion of Daedalus Services can be addressed after schedule review. Page 2 of 10
