DPW Construction Schedule Ongoing 5/13/08 The PBC reviewed the construction schedule from CTA a. Slack should appear on the schedule Ï HKT to coordinate. b. Critical Path items to be shown in red Ï HKT to ask CTA to provide a PDF in color for review c. Discussion on what should happen if CTA is to submit a delay claim. HKT stated that a letter was issued by CTA about the unforeseen conditions found at the site and the winter weather. HKT stated that their preference is to address this issue as we get closer to substantial completion as the schedule is still on track and there is a good relationship with CTA which would like to continue d. The PBC was concerned about the lack of time for commissioning and ask HKT to address with CTA and SB. 6/10/08 Color copies of the construction schedule were distributed. Work appears to be on schedule with the building largely complete by first Qtr. 09. 7/8/08 Color copies of the construction schedule were distributed. Work for the building appears to remain on schedule for substantial completion on 29 April 2009. However scheduled site work and paving has been moved on the schedule to spring of 2009 extending to summer of 2009. The reason for this is a cautionary move based upon the current limitations at the rear of the site due to the environmental work being evaluated and the impact this has on the GCÔs ability to construct the sand and salt shed and initiate full site work and paving operations before November of 2008. This situation will continue to be evaluated. There was discussion to fast-tracking as much as possible the balance of site work, test pitting and remediation so as to turn over as much of the site as possible to allow a predominant amount of site construction to happen as originally scheduled and minimize the amount of site work that would have to carry over to spring / summer 09, and therefore reduce potential extra costs. 8/12/08 Work for the building remains to appear, largely, on schedule, relative to a spring 09 completion. There was some discussion regarding the timing of the Certificate of Occupancy, as the delayed site work issues are artificially pushing out the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) date. PBC requested inserting a temp CO date to pull back building completion for use and allowing extended site work to stand on its own. HKT outlined discussions with CTA regarding their intent to update schedule to reflect the large majority of site work to be completed this fall as originally scheduled with only the rear portion of the site or as needed to carry over to a delayed spring due to the environmental issues currently being resolved. 9/9/08 Updated schedule distributed. Building on schedule. Certificate of Occupancy 4/29/09. Schedule broken out to show rear of site work continuing into summer of 09. Questions about temporary heat or system start up for temporary heat, needs to be discussed. 4 17 September 2008 Meeting Minutes Lexington Permanent Building Committee (PBC) Location: Cary Memorial Hall-Estabrook Meeting Room 09 September 2008 Date & Time: , 7:00PM 2.6 Soil Testing Required at Current Excavation HKT/WS 5/13/08 HKT stated that additional soil testing is required based on soil excavation at site. PBC approved Weston & Sampson to provide LSP services Ï Eric Brown made the motion, Carl, all members approved. 6/10/08 The approved LSP services above included the excavation of test pits under DEP direction to define the extent of previously found contaminants. These test pits have led to the discovery of seven steel barrels, some containing an oil or waste oil liquid. DEP was contacted by the LSP and conducted a site visit. A report was issued by DEP and agreed to by the LSP as appropriate such that the balance of this rear portion of the site could be evaluated to determine if additional steel barrels or contaminants exist, without having to excavate the whole rear portion of the site. The recommended direction is to remove all stock piled material from the rear of the site make improvements to the rough grade and have a subcontractor examine the areas with large metal detectors, magnetometers, and ground penetrating radar. A proposal for On-site LSP services to coordinate and manage this newly defined situation was developed by Weston and Sampson and presented to the PBC. Weston and Sampson Revised Proposal dated 06 June 2008, requests an additional $19,600, in additional to the already approved $18,900 proposal for services approved last month. The figures do not; yet include contractual mark-up by HKT. PBC expressed the Town Project representatives should have a review meeting or discussion with Weston and Sampson as the results of this work come in to evaluate options. Weston and Sampson 6/6/08 Revised Proposal approved by PBC. Motion: Bill Bruckman 2nd Eric Brown Vote: Unanimous 7/8/08 Weston and Sampson presentation included summary of events and testing, copies of which were distributed to the PBC. Original notification to DEP for first barrel findings 5/29/08 Immediate Action Response requested by DEP Magnetometer and GPR Survey completed by 6/25/08 Preliminary report and findings presented 7/8/08. Preliminary test results indicate multiple Ares showing metals and or potential additional barrel locations. Additional test pitting is required to discover extent of contaminant locations. Balance of test pitting operations from previously approved services should cover work needed for this task. Completion of test pitting will result in development of IRA report and determination from DEP as to extent of remediation work required. Rear end of site may be unavailable to GC until mid to late Sept. depending upon continued findings and extent of remediation required. Once test pitting is complete and extent of contamination is defined options can be evaluated as to the extent of remediation that is recommended, and or any options to accept restrictions on site based upon reduced or limited remediation. WS presented Professional Services amendment in the amount of $18,000 (The figures do not; yet include contractual mark-up by HKT) to cover professional services for IRA Plan Preparation as required by DEP, installation of monitoring wells, as required by DEP and solicitation of quotes for removal of on site material already approved for removal. 5 17 September 2008 Meeting Minutes Lexington Permanent Building Committee (PBC) Location: Cary Memorial Hall-Estabrook Meeting Room 09 September 2008 Date & Time: , 7:00PM Weston and Sampson 7/2/08 Revised Proposal approved by PBC in the amount $18,000. Motion: Eric Brown 2nd Bill Kennedy Vote: Unanimous The PBC was further concerned that given the nature of the work WS is performing and the time sensitivities involved, that they should authorize Pat Goddard the ability to approve continued or further authorizations to Weston & SampsonÔs contract if required to keep the environmental issue moving forward and to not cause or worsen delays to the project. Motion: To authorize Pat Goddard to act on behalf of the PBC to expand up to an additional Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in addition to the $18,000 approved at this meeting, to advance Weston & Sampson scope for site investigations and work related the current soil contamination matter. Motion: Jon Himmel 2nd Bill Kennedy Vote: Unanimous 8/12/08 Weston and Sampson, presented a report, copy on file, regarding the status of work, evaluations, testing and findings to date. To Date W&S has prepared the Immediate Response Action Plan &submitted same to DEP. Monitoring wells were also installed per the DEP requests. Minor imperfections were found in water sampling to date. Test pitting operations were completed for this phase of the work as well as the GPR survey. Two areas were identified for removal of contaminants, one being the area of known drums and the second being the area with the asbestos pipe. These areas need to be excavated and contaminants removed and further soil samples taken. Proposal was submitted for additional W&S work: Task 13 Removal of soil stockpile and roll off containers with contaminants. At $64,319.00 Task 14 Drum area excavation and disposal at $49,648.00 Task 15 Tar and asbestos pipe area excavation and disposal at $46,186.00 Task 16 Project Management, data Review and MCP Support. At $31,318.00 These Tasks Total $191,471. This work would be subject to HKT mark-up of W&S Soft Costs. Motion made to approve tasks 13-16 of the Weston & Sampson proposal, dated 8/8/08, which does not yet include HKT Mark-up, at a cost of up to ($200,000.00) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, with the understanding that there is sufficient contingency in the Project Budget to cover these costs, and knowing that the scope may not fully be defined until excavations & final testing are complete. Motion: Dick Perry 2nd Bill Kennedy Vote: Unanimous 9/9/08 Since last meeting contaminated soil piles have been removed. Excavation for test pitting complete. Removed 1 piece of asbestos pipe. Removed 16 drums with petroleum type product. All soils and roll offs removed. DEP needs status reports, Weston and Sampson working on said report. Remediation cost about $20,000 less than expected to date. Site closure, deed restriction could be considered in the future. Weston and Sampson will make recommendations based upon DEP response to reports. Submission of trial testing data and reports to DEP will tell us of remaining scope. 6 17 September 2008 Meeting Minutes Lexington Permanent Building Committee (PBC) Location: Cary Memorial Hall-Estabrook Meeting Room 09 September 2008 Date & Time: , 7:00PM 2.9.
