Update Shared at September 20th Select Board meeting
Currently, there have been five (5) change orders issued most of the cost involving finding unanticipated quantities of unsuitable material which have been found onsite and subsequent material handling. Working collaboratively with OPM, Designer and Contractor there have been limited impacts. It was acknowledged at the beginning of the project that if unsuitable material was found it may impact up to 50% of contingency (currently at approximately 30%). The onsite screening of existing material and re-use of material greatly reduced expense. The Building Committee continues to review and vote to recommend changes as they a presented from the OPM, Designer and Contractor and follow the final approval process.
We are expecting much activity over the next two months:
-Completion of onsite drainage infiltration
-Installation of plumbing, electrical, drainage conduits
-Delivery and erection of Steel frame
-Delivery and erection of trusses
-Installation of basement walls
There are a number of issues that may have had a negative impact to the schedule. The above-mentioned earthwork, and possible delay with steel delivery and windows due to supply chain issues. The construction team is working diligently to address these issues; expediting site inspections, shifting schedule of site work, expediting approval process all to avoid unnecessary delay. The Contractor has prioritized as much work as possible to be completed by sub-contractors to start gaining time on schedule and as an example has brought in piping from alternate sources to keep the project moving forward.
