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
ny has always brought in 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.
2/14/13
There is no data or required scope defined yet that warrants continued discussion of ex
Bob White plans to remain engaged in the project and continue to attend meetings and monitor schedule.
4.56 February Update
2/14/13
Bob White from Daedalus Projects provided an update on TLT Schedule. Bob had met with TLT a few times during their
development of the schedule and overall reported that the schedule appeared to be an honest practical methodology for
completing the project in accordance with the contract. There was general discussion on the schedule and inquiries regarding
successors and predecessors used in the schedule detail, the actual prescience or not of float along with the need to show the
Critical path line in the schedule documentation.
Daedalus will follow up on these items and is awaiting the opportunity to have their schedule consultant test the schedule once a
live electronic copy is received.

4.66 Cancellation of VAT work
4/11/13
DPC presented a proposed Credit Change order to the PBC that would eliminate the removal and replacement of corridor flooring
at the Bridge school. TLT never completed this scope of work in phase 1 and would be challenged to complete it in this phase along
with phase 2 work. By crediting this work TLT will also credit the abatement of caulking between masonry walls and steel columns
that exists behind the lockers in these hallways. The lockers must be removed to replace the floor and that is when they were
going to abate the caulking. (The caulking is contained, non-friable, and not a danger. Any column caulking that can be removed
with locker replacement will still be completed. The credit from TLT for this work will be $63,237.00. The Town will pursue
rebidding this work next summer.
Motion to accept change proposal #169 as a credit in the amount of $63,237.00 removing VAT/VCT corridor flooring from the
Bridge Scope along with related column caulking abatement behind corridor lockers.

Shawmut presented a document dated 1/3/13 and titled Draft GMP Reconciliation sheet. This document was presented by
Shawmut and each line was reviewed with PBC.
Paul from CP visited the Shawmut office and reviewed all the non trade bids and the process used in developing them. Cp was very
satisfied with the documentation and process Shawmut used in obtaining the non-trade bids.
There is a $35,000 allowance in the GMP that the town can eliminate by change order if we chose not to have Shawmut coordinate
landscaping work.
Shawmut discussed an overrun to their costs for Pre-construction work in the amount of $95,000. This figure was included in some
below the line costs on their GMP reconciliation sheet dated 1/3/13 and presented at this meeting.
After brief discussion the PBC was not supportive of including these costs in the GMP at this time and advised Shawmut that these
costs could be discussed at an appropriate time in the future.
GMP line item approved by state is $31,145,000. State is aware we are trending over and will adjust 3011 form accordingly; delta in
GMP over 31,145,000 may not be reimbursable.
For approval of the GMP
Line Items from reconciliation sheet to be removed:
$95,000 for preconstruction overage (not approved)
$46,650 Builders risk insurance (funded elsewhere in the budget)
Add in to GMP
$61,000 for specified stage and gym flooring as specified
Motion to approve the Shawmut Design & Construction GMP as outlined in the 1/3/13 GMP Reconciliation sheet prepared by
Shawmut, less the preconstruction overrun line of $95,000, less builders risk insurance line of $46,650, with an addition of a line
for $61,000 to cover the specified Stage and Gym flooring material for a GMP in full compliance with the plans & specifications
