John Moynihan's 9/26/00 letter to Peter Kelley about a violation of State Sanitary Code
and Lexington health regulations at the Diamond Middle School.
Reportfrom Project Manager Kealy noted that all the old underlayment had been removed at the
high school. He circulated samples of two new proposed materials for creating a smooth solid
base upon which the new floor finishes will be installed. All change orders at the high school are
now at one percent of construction cost. However, exactly what is in the 1964 high school
buildings is not known. Among other unknown costs is the number of unit ventilators that will
have to be replaced at about $2,600 each. He stated that moving and swing space costs have been
added to the project total.
The high school roof is done and barrels have now been removed from the halls. Windows are
scheduled to arrive mid October. Sidewalks are nearly done, with hydroseeding soon to follow
Lights will arrive next week, and the art room is nearly done.
Middle school work is progressing. A partnering meeting will be held tomorrow morning.
Violations at Diamond, partly due to a now-corrected drainage problem created by Eastern's
plumbing subcontractor. As listed in a letter from Moynihan to Project Manager Kealy two new
wash sinks in the Diamond kitchen must be added to renovation scope. The Diamond kitchen
was closed only a few hours for drainage corrections.
Recycling questions raised by Ms. DiGiammarino received brief attention prior to an inspection
tour by the committee to view samples of materials poured on small high school floor areas.
Schedule review prompted display of the CPM for the high school. Similar schedules are
expected for the middle schools, Concern was expressed about the tight schedule at Diamond
next summer and the need to create more time to accomplish what needs to be done before
September, 2001 Altogether the projects should be done on or about November 2002.

8:40 p.m.
