Okay, welcome everybody. This is the LHS school building committee meeting on May 1st, [Applause] 2025. And our first uh item is moving the minutes. Minutes are at your places.
Uh for those online, they were attached to the calendar invitation. Take a look and take a motion. I'll move to approve the March 25 meeting of the school. Okay. Second. Any
discussion? All vote. Yes. Yes. Right. Miss Brown, abstain. I wasn't here. Miss Margin Boucher, I also have to abstain. here. Mr. Fenny on minutes. Yes.
Yes. M. Lebar. Yes. All right. Mr. Thompson. Yes. Mr. Christensen. Oh, he's not here. All right. And do we have Miss Collins online? Yes. Are you a Yes. Yes.
Mr. Quimby? Uh, yes. Okay. Yes. Moving into public participation strong gallery today. Anyone want to participate? Anyone
online? Nope. Okay. And we'll go to the OPM update. Welcome. One more. I'll touch on the boring administrative uh stuff up front and then we'll turn it over for the more glorious updates team. Um so what you're
looking at up here folks is just a snapshot of our budget tracker. Um this is a document or a tool that we use to track the the budget throughout um the project. So we put every single invoice that comes in uh into this budget tracker. We then work with Pam and
Laura's office to um submit for reimbursement. Um so you can see here just kind of the status of the of the total project budget. Um, so you can see the total budget 177,460,652 and then the GMP uh construction budget shown in the bottom. It's tough for you guys to see, but down
where it says key contracts, it's uh broken out by Gansa, Jones with SMMA, and Fontaine. So it shows the status basically of what's been invoiced to date towards what the uh total contract value is. Um, so they've invoiced 20,10283. So, uh, towards the
construction contract, that's about 14% of the total, uh, project value, if you will. So, um, doesn't tell the whole story, but if you follow the dollars, that typically tells you a pretty good indication of where we're at with everything schedule-wise. Um, so if you go to the next page, uh,
Gordon. So, MSBA updates. Uh, things are good on the MSBA front. We submitted the PFA bid amendment back in April. Is that April 2nd? Actually, early April. Um, Scansa met with TSBA several weeks ago. They had some questions just regarding the information. Tom, you probably
recall the information we had you sign and send back way back when. Well, they had some follow-up questions. We answered those. We're expecting them to approve the PFA bid amendment and send that information again to you, Tom. Um, it'll have instructions on what we need to do. There's some uh um stuff we need
to do with the prop site to make that um match the PFA bid amendment. So, we'll take care of all of that. And I think we need to ask you to sign one more set of forms and then I swear I'll be out of your hair till the end of the project. As long as you hold my hand, Ben. All right. Um yeah, so that's on the PFA bid amendment. Um so grant reimbursements,
as I mentioned, to the town, those are ongoing. Uh to date, we've submitted $26,278,370 of which $15,836,715 have has been reimbured to the town. So, if you're trying to do the math real quick, that's uh an effective rate of 60.27%. So, if you guys all recall back
to very early in the project, we explained what your reimbursement rate is of 61.95% and then we explained what the effective reimbursement rate that range probably would be after all the exclusions that MSBA has um in the budget. We expected that to be a 10 10
to 15% lower than your um your listed rate. So, right now we're at 60.27 27 uh% which is great. However, we do expect that to fall off as the project progresses because what happens is basically all the invoices that we're submitting early upfront are eligible are meeting those eligible dollars and
then eventually we do get to a point where you start to reach caps like within the construction budget and then those dollars are not are no longer uh eligible. Um so you'll start to see that uh later on in the project, but for right now um Ben, do we know when that is based on cash flow? Um, it's
realistically probably going to be in the uh uh summer of 26 where I see it really dropping off. Um, just based off what I've been giving Kim. Um, that might change, Steve. We always with cash flows, as you know, we're really presenting as though we're spending every last dollar on this project. Um,
but our real cash flow, you know, to MSBA at least. Um, but yeah, based off of what we have, that's when I see it trickling. Kim's right in the boat about how this is going to look. Yeah, exactly. We pres present our information that goes in MSBA to Kim. she works with bond council to work. So, um just want
to be uh open about that because you know we're putting numbers up there and it looks looks great but uh just expect that to come down a little bit. Um and then just on MSBA monthly site visit so uh it's a little facicious. It's we're meeting every other month with MSBA. We do have another we know with them uh I
think it was in March. Um now we're meeting May 8th at uh 2 p.m. That's going to be a virtual visit for them but it's ongoing. They just check the status of the project, ask us a bunch of questions, and we send them off on their way. So, all things are good on the MSBA front. I'll open it up for any
questions. All good. Okay, kick it over to the design team. Great. Um, focus tonight is mostly on the FFN process. That's the other kind of design process going along while construction is underway. Um, so, uh,
Ben sent out a very long, uh, email or attachment from Stefura that went through kind of the furniture for each classroom. So, we're much further along on the furniture, uh, decision process. Um, equipment is lagging a little bit
further behind. Um, and we've also been, um, doing the technology um, process at the same time. So, uh, this is super preliminary numbers. We are showing that we are under budget. That was to be expected. Um we've always thought that
we would have to use some amount of contingency for the furniture and equipment and technology budget. Um I think this is still rough early numbers. So this will continue to change over the next couple months and the equipment budget in particular is one that I think could change pretty significantly.
Christian, what is equipment in this context? So um yeah, it's a good question. It's kind of, yeah, it's everything other than furniture, which is a weird way of putting it, but so it's everything from like your silverware in your kitchen to um any
maintenance equipment that the um custodial staff needs um to uh gym equipment. Um, so those are kind of the main ones, but it's it's really thinking about um, yeah, so like other than what's in the what's the furniture in the classroom, what are the other needs
that uh, all the different departments have. Um, so some of it is art equipment as well. Um, but I think those are the main ones. The main ones are usually maintenance, um, art and athletics, science. Thank you. Yeah.
Um uh so again early days but the furniture really I uh give Dory and Frank a lot of credit have um had many many many meetings on the furniture front um and that's gotten a lot further along. The exciting part is that we are
anticipating um step forward to work with the vendors to have some furniture delivered to the school. Um, I think right now we're targeting the week of May 12th. Um, hoping that uh as much of the furniture can get here and it's pretty short notice, but we're going to try so that we can have some sit tests.
Um, and so that will be great for department heads to come in um and um we'll probably outfit one or two classrooms get a feel for which teacher desk feels the best. And it's usually those
um items that we're purchasing a lot of. So, it's in chairs, the student desk, the teacher chairs, the desks um that you really want to uh evaluate. Um I will say this budget does also include uh the district and IT
furniture are now included in the furniture budget. Um LCAT is still separate. Um but those have been wrapped into to this pricing. So, any questions on So, are we going to buy the LCAT furniture in a
separate funding budget? That was no public comment period. It's not going to be outfitted at all. That's the concession, but it will, right? And central office. Excellent. Um and then Gordon, the next page is a a
calendar going forward. So, um again, we're in the purple here on the design uh process of it. Finalizing selections in July. um colors and fabric. We'll come back to the school building committee and we'll give you guys a little kind of overview of how that goes. It's pretty involved
because we really try and work with the interior materials that you know you have all been a part of picking so far. Um and making sure that the furniture works well with that. Um but we'll get to that um in the summer time. Um and present that. Um then we uh go out to
bid um August through September. Some of it comes from state contracts. Some of it is actually a bidding process. It's very complicated with furniture. You can follow different tracks within the state. Um then we'll rely on Pam and the district to really help us out with uh
issuing purchase orders. So we'll make sure to walk through that process with you. Steph does a great job of prepping all that information, but it is the district that's processing those purchase orders. That'll happen around December of 2025. Um, and then we've got
uh the furniture getting manufactured and uh reviewing some middles um with the installation in the summer of 2026. Um, so that's the range forecast for FFN. So you said long long range forecasts. Are we taking
into account u potential cost increases based on geopolitical situations? We are starting to see that. So on that last slide, we did have an 8% contingency that was not, you know, that that we are carrying for issues like that. Um, so I
think between now and the end of this year is, you know, that's when we'll nail down the costing. It'll be set. Um, so we'll see how is it advantageous to lock in as soon as possible. Well, the tariffs get assessed when it crosses the border. So, um, you know, we
could buy something today and then two months from now Trump puts a tariff on some country and uh I don't think locking in is really helpful. It's really when it's shipped and it crosses the border is a good question. Well, just if it's sitting in
a warehouse now, if we could buy it. Sure. We did that with some of the steel to get it here. Um, about that, but with things like FFN, just our timing, I don't know. That's a good point. Do you have a space in town where you can we'll make it work if it saves us, you know, a million dollars, right? Find something.
Isn't most of the furniture made domestic anyway? Got roomark. I believe so. Do we know that most of the furniture gets made domestically? Question, Steve. I would think so. Something made I can think. Are any of your options that you have
for the furniture not necessarily made in China, which would be the most aggressive? Yeah. Again, I don't they're mostly made here, right? The raw materials materials themselves. Okay, Christian, are we comfortable that 6 months is suitable for manufacturing?
Yeah, I think Steph is comfortable with this schedule for sure. It feels like more than enough, but I'm asking. Yeah. No, I think um what's mostly important is that you get in line, right? Because everyone's delivering over that summer. So, um I think that's why the schedule
is kind of laid out as it is because mostly you just want to make sure you've got that that you're you're going right where I was, which is is there the ability to compress further without affecting decision making and so on having the furniture delivered earlier or at least having it available? I'd
much rather stored it for a month than be scrambling in August it's an interesting question, Steve. I mean I think again if there is space in town from my understanding I would think that most of the furniture manufacturers would appreciate that because that again
it's those summer slammer months you're paying for double double handle it all. I was thinking it was a reduction to take it off their hands made a move. Yeah. Yeah. Something to do. It's not dry. Everybody grab a chair and a desk. When we did Tyonic High
School, we we had to get rid of all the Great ideas. Great. We had to get rid of all the existing furniture before they tore down the building. So, we actually got the prison uh prisoners from First Correctional to come right for a week until they into the building. And
this conversation's taking a turn. Could we look at it just to see if there be any advantages and then what the space requirements would actually be? We'll discuss with Steph. Okay. Just keep in mind too there's a double
handling. There's if you're storing for free, that's fine. But then the double handling if something gets damaged, who's responsible? So that just that just has to be taken into account. Okay. We don't have a whole lot of free space
around I would imagine we would want it on site in terms of handling twice a gym or something I mean but I mean we're looking at a month or two at the school they can do it after this but the overall point is for have a gym
defer you know one day at a time one day at a time they're involved on other projects I'm sure they know the climate and what is kind of necessary for a period like this so I hope that that would be sufficient but we'll definitely look and see if there's any angle to better. Yeah. Great.
Great. That's it from us. That's it for you. Yeah. All right. Okay. Ready? We're ready. So, procurement update. There's a couple of packages we sent out recently. We're trying to um buy out the rest of the smaller smaller packages. So, we've done
doors and hardware, the fire door, overhead doors, carpet and grills, gym equipment. We're working on site concrete. We had a um scope review the other day, milwork case work, the press box, the landscaping package, which is big, and then um still working on
athletic court surfacing. There's a couple other packages that we'll buy out after that. Is there any significance to that font being like didn't know if that was a crisis, but it is bothering me. Tell you see it.
That's it. So that that's the is that the schedule? Yeah. So just in real in real I know it's hard to see that just to give you the synopsis of where we are. So site work as far as site work um if you notice like we've
got the um concession building actually built and the walls are built there. We we're doing some underground duct tank in that area there. Um the 16inch water line we discussed in our OAC meeting is material showed up today. We're going to start looking at doing that work shortly um as it shows up and we got to do the
gate valve to kind of tie that off to kind of keep American saw up and running. Um and as we work through there, we're working on the Norton Street. We've done the tie-in for the uh sewer. We're actually working on water line also there. So on building A and building um B, we're working on underground. So plumbing is 100% done.
Uh electrician is about 60% done in A and he's moving himself into B to underground so we can pour some slabs in A and B. Um when we look at the C-spine and then building D and building E. So both the the south side of the building is all poured. We're pouring slab on grade today. Building E. Building D
first and second floor are poured. Building uh E the second floor is poured. And then like I said slab on grade and building E is poured today. So as we do that we're working our way around the building standing studs up um working the loading dock working around D and coming around there. So not only is the studs going up but we're also doing the sun shade supports in that
area also to kind of get that out of the way because that all gets buried by sheathing. Um, so as we work our way through building D and E, um, we're upstairs doing hangers for, um, the goal is you hang the hangers in before we put the, um, fire spray on the roof, right? So there, all the trades are up there
putting their hangers in about six inches down so the guys can spray the roof once we do the roofing. So the roofing showed started showing up this week. We got about nine or 10 tractor trail loads of insulation on on the site now. So our goal is to finish the blocking and as we finish the parapit around the building, then the roof will
start in the next couple of weeks. um and start slowly working his way from the from the uh east to the west and we'll start putting roofing on which opens up more work for the trades inside. Um so as we work I'm sorry. No, go ahead. Who do we end up with? So silk town. Yep. Um so so far been very you
know very good and everything else. Um it's a very difficult roof with all the tapered so it's a lot of material. Um there'll be probably a total I'm figuring about 60 track material loads of insulation that will show up on this job for to get this roof done. Um and right now we got about 10 here. So they'll start working on that shortly.
Um, and as we work our way through, we're laying out on the second floor of D for interior studs, hanging track up there so we can get the trades going to start releasing their duck work. And the piping will be on site also. It's actually already already fabricated once we get a roof on. Um, and the as far as the pool building is, we have excavated
the pool to about 1 ft above bottom of of uh structure. And what happens in about two weeks, week and a half, the pool actually the contractor will actually mobilize. We'll start drainage. We'll start the stone layer. And then we'll actually start building the pool in that area there and we'll kind of work our way around there and we'll bring that up and kind of underground
plumbing is already done in the bu in the pool building and electrician will be out there shortly. So that's kind of where we're at right now. Not much going on. Nothing. Yeah, it's really accelerated quite a bit recently. Sorry. Yep.
A lot going and we'll start you'll start seeing us more, you know, on Saturdays and going just to kind of keep the pace that we need to keep to get this completed for you. Are the studs stainless? Is that why we're seeing them bright? Galvanized. Yep. Okay. Yep. Only every gauge. Those
are balloon frames. So you can see that if you we can't kind of zoom in, but you can see building D there. Those studs are going from foundation on our first level all the way up through the roof to the parapit. So as it's balloon frame, we get to pass by this by the slab itself. We got to tie that in. So it kind of gives us a jump start on that.
So we can now start the parapits which ties into the roof and the blocking. And all the blocking is laid out. We're moving ourselves forward. All the roof pads where the concrete for the units are all poured. So that's a bonus for us. That's all done and ready to go. So now as we move ourself and our insulation and and roof to the from uh
east to west, it kind of gives us a running room. Yeah. Looking good on the roof line, Christian. The cliffs. Nice work. So that that balloon frame is also good for continuous insulation going all the way right across. So double benefit. And yeah, and we have
like the we always worry about getting material here. So the the mason has actually already had three tractor trailer loads of of mineral wool showed up on site and here. So that's a bonus for us, right? Um the bricks now getting made and some of the granite work we're working on that. Some of the bricks not
only showing up till August. So we can run those colors. So our goal is to get the studs, do the do the sheathing, start the sheathing another week and a half, the AVB, start the insulation, work with the granite so we can get that ready so we're ready when it comes in August. We actually brick beneer.
So yeah, the tennis court situation was resolved. The as far as what was he recorded? Just so you know, he had power in the middle of it or something. We had water. So that's a 16inch water line. That material started showing up. We're going to we're going to run that parallel is where we have
with that. Um and we're waiting for the gate valve. There's a gate valve that's going to go on the back side of the um football field. And what that'll do is it'll give us a gate valve to kind of basically shut off American Saw and when they'll be fed through Chestnut Street now. So we don't have to worry about slowing them up when we actually do the
tie in. So that's And is the room up to speed on that particular issue? I don't believe that everybody is. I believe just yourself, Tom. We should probably bring them up given they're going to have to You want to give a little history about how you found the pipe and then we'll fill in from there. So when you we started working on uh stripping
the area of the um tennis courts with the new tennis court, we brought that down to subgrade and then we as we brought in the spring, we noticed a lot of residual water on the top. Our fear was that 60-inch water line was actually leaking. So, what we ended up doing, they brought in a company here to
actually vacuum this area because we're talking 16 in of speestous line. It's a lot of line in the area. So, we had to find the line exactly where it was. Um, what ends up happening is this line is running directly through the tennis court underneath and it was actually directly under one of the Musco poles or we would have drilled through it when we
were finished our when we finished our tennis courts. We would have been drilling these holes and we would have been in a whole world of trouble from there. So what the decision was is to take that line underneath the um tennis courts and actually do a parallel ductal iron line which will last hopefully
longer than the tennis courts obviously and what we'll do is disconnect the asbestous line and we'll tag it on both sides and put a valve in. So that's kind of where we're at with that you know Greg but that's what is that 250,000 estimated 250,000. We'll do that as a
PCO. We're working with the site contractor to finalize pricing. We'll review it internally with um the OPM and the design team. Once that's set, we'll put that together and present it. So, we're going to have to call that exceeds Steve and your committee's um authority.
So, we're going to have to schedule an SBC meeting for you guys to vote and approve that. Um and that could be a Zoom depending on how time. Yeah, but that's going to need to happen pretty soon. I would Yeah. Daniel, what do you think's gag on this? Close. Yeah, I just
got the the pricing yesterday. Yeah, we just got So, I'll put it together. We'll do the internal review and then we'll get it over for Okay. So, I'm sorry. See end of next week. Oh, absolutely. Probably mid next week. Yep. How does American Southwork in all of this? So, this 16inch line comes from there's a
12-in line that runs down Maple Street and it's tagged off to come through the site with a 16inch line. That 16-inch line goes through parallel to the football fields, goes over to American Saw and keeps going to the pump station that's over on Chestnut Street. And then that pump station fills the towers. So this kind of feeds twothirds of the town
and when it's really running. So the idea of you know destroying that line during this time is is on you know but it also feeds the fire pumps and everything else that's involved in American saw. So if we shut that water line off then American saw is shut down. So the idea of putting this gate valve
in what it does is it basically stops the flow from this side to there and that forces the water from Chestnut Street to feed American side almost back feeding American saw so they'll still live. We actually do the tie in and so is there anything we got to pay like on their behalf? No. No. We're all we're
doing is coordinating with them. It's going to be on a Saturday when they have the least amount of work going on. Be in the next couple of weeks. We'll do this. We'll shut them down. We'll tell them we're shutting them down on a Saturday starting at 7 o'clock in the morning until we're done and then we'll turn them back on and then they'll be live. And when we actually do the final tiein of the 16inch line, that's when we shut
the gate valve and we'll let then they'll be fed from Chestnut Street at that point. All right. Thank you. Well, Valve is basically PR for the town of Isome and not shutting American Saw down for any Yeah. No, no, I got it. Yeah. So, there's there's the metal studs
going up in building D. As you look down, look on the loading dock side on the right hand side, you can see the window starting being formed. This was probably a week or two ago. As we work our way through here, underground plumbing, that's in building B. That's all been backfilled and inspected. That's actually your locker room area.
They're in the gym area right now that you're looking at. Mark, who's doing the framing? Car. Car. H. Car. Yep. And we have building E and D on site for material. The sewer tie in at Nord Street. Nordon Street. Yep. Okay. So, the sewer is tied
in. Yeah. It's kind of hard to see. Where is that? Right. So, that's the Yeah, we tied the sewer in there and we have the water structure. Oh, you need the revenue, Tom. You know what? Like, tell me about it. So yeah,
Lieutenant Coach, you can see that line, the dark line. That's where he built a road there to get to the water line and where it actually turns a corner at the top of the church parking lot. That's where the water line actually bees and go goes towards the um football field and straight down. Um so right now that one pole is right in the middle of the tennis court. So I'm working with
National Grid to remove those poles. Um we'll we'll throw up some temporary poles in the parking lot. Um, just so you know, go and we'll put a couple of Jersey barriers around there and that 90 degree temporary permanent power that feeds the school will come across that parking lot and then that'll open up that whole corner for us to finish that
work in that area. So, everything's already been backed. We know where we are. We know where we are. We have a location. We will go into the, you know, when we go into behind the football field um in the next couple weekends, whichever one, we'll um we're going to clear cut some of that area worked in there. We know where the hydrant is. We'll follow the tea back to the main
and then we'll go from there. So, we should be good news. Yep. There's the pool already has water in it. Just needs a little [Laughter] chlorine. And you can see that that slope there. When you look at that, you can see that slope there. So, we've actually, you know, cut that pool down
to we're about a foot or so above where, you know, we're going to be there. We'll drive a slump in there to get that and we'll bring that in. Still got a foot of stone plus the drainage and we'll start that pool in the next couple of weeks. Very cool. Looks good. It's very exciting. So, while we're talking about um issues,
we had Great segue. Yeah. More issues than issues, right? Another one. Take this word off the screen while John's I'm not going to pretend to be the expert, but we have we have Thank you. we have an issue with the fire protection system in the building. We uh
it's a requirement that you have a a pressure test on the main that you're feeding in the fire protection system from within a year of when you're going to uh build it. So the fire the test we had from two years ago during design is no longer valid. So we had to do a test
and the pressure is low. So, we think we have to add a fire pump to the building and there's a whole bunch of complications with uh adding a fire pump to uh to bring the pressure up for the building. Um so, this is another
significant um change order item that's going to come up very quickly. Um and that sounds pricey. Yeah. Can you It all depends which way we go as far as pricing, right? So, we need the fire pump to boost the pressure like John was saying. So the pressure is about 52 psi
which is not enough. We need you know much more to bring that as the water comes in there. So the fire pump what it does obviously what it does is it boosts boost the pressure to help the for the fire suppression system. It depends on if the design team we've talked about electric fire pump you know goes in a room but it has to be dedicated. So we have to make we have to change some
rooms and the sizes and make it you know fire rated room or if we have to go and we can't have enough power in there to do that we might have to do a diesel but that would mean outside into a separate building which we don't want to do. We want to stay within the electric. We're working through that, you know, diligently with the design team, um, and
trying to get the obviously the best for what we can do and making sure the pressure is enough for life safety. So, price-wise, I can't really give you anything right now, but we're working it to make it as little impact as possible. I'll guesstimate it's at least 200 grand, but I'm I'm hoping. Yeah. So, how
does the pressure change in two years? Like, what causes the pressure to change? We got the test from the city. The town gave us Yeah. town three years ago. Um, two years. Fake number one. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh I don't know if it changed or if they just gave us bad information. Do we
happen to know when they took it? April the calendar. I think it was. As I understand it, there's a meaningful drop in the summer months when everyone's irrigating. It was April. This has got to be on the two years ago. The low pressure site, right? Not by the water towers. It's the low pressure side of the town is from what Felix is telling
us. Yeah. Bruce going through American pumps. Totally different. Totally different. No. No. Bruce, do you want to weigh in on this? No. Why not? Sure.
No pressure. Yeah. No, it Oh, and the the information we did give you, John, wasn't bad. The pressure just changes in that area during the months of from between May and September because of irrigation systems. So during
those months, obviously with all the irrigation, the pressure drops. Um so that's why the pressure is so low right now and of course uh um the lack of rainfall as well. Um I do have a call out. I'm going to be talking to Tyen
Bond um because we are upgrading the Chestnut pump station. I'm not sure how that's going to affect the pressure. Um so um maybe it'll bump it up a little bit. I'm not sure. Um it's too early to tell. So, I will get back to everybody
on that as well. Thanks, Bruce. How long will it take to uh to uh get through that conversation? Because uh you know, that could save the project a lot of money if it was going to it's not going to get to 90. Yeah, you're not going to double it by re
rebuilding a pump. But that's on the other thing. But that's also on the other side of where our issue is, right? That's on the chestnut street side. So, how does that help on the downstream side? Right. You need something. Yeah. I don't know any of that information. That's why that's going to Tigen Bond uh to get some answers if
any. Outlaw sprinklers. So, we should proceed with the redesign as if. So, the information we gave you three years ago was 90 something. Correct. And now it's 50ome. Correct.
Correct. And when was that taken? The 90some. April 2023. Two years ago. And the new one was just two days ago. We did two because the first one was yeah 50 and so we said okay second opinion let's make sure of course okay
shooting water in the long meadow or something that's I mean that's a hell of a lot of a drop for huh know you maybe there's a valve that's partially closed somewhere like that
that that seems Just as just as even a pump station isn't going to double, how can we be because they had they had those issues they were trying to find at the gate valves was working with. So Bruce, can I ask the pump station on Harkness Avenue? Um, does that run? Is
that So those are tied together. So they talk to each other. Um, okay. The one on Chestnut. Okay. Yes, they need to talk in order so we don't blow up the system. So they they talk. So Okay, I understand. Okay.
All right. We don't have to solve on the spot right here. We can we'll have our It's in process. I just want you guys to know there's issue. So, thank you. Thanks, Bruce. Nailed it. Want to schedule a That was expensive.
Another meeting, right? taking a ride [Laughter] home meeting. Yeah. Range for that that meeting. What do what do we think we are plus or
minus to figure this out from a design standpoint? The fire pump issue or the time frame or what do you is that the week, two weeks, a month? We set a goal in the last minute. I think it was two weeks, the 16th or something. Check in
next week. Paul and uh Stella have to do their work. So, the following week. I'm just thinking if we have to pull people together again relative to the waterline, right? Have both of them at one time and just certainly have more information, but I don't know if we'd be
ready to have handed over a PR for that point. Yeah. If it's electric, it's got to go through Griffin also, which is, you know, painful. Depending how we got to do this because it's got to use some juice, I would imagine. It depends what they come up with. But yeah, depends on design.
There could be quite a few contractors involved. Yeah, I think we're probably uh the two are not going to line up well, Steve. I think we'll be ready for the Whatever it takes. Yeah, you do the one. So, that being said, do we want to target another SBC? you know, we're
probably gonna have you have your pricing. So, we're going to take a look at that. I mean, we'd be ready to meet with the commission for this decision, I think, by the 15th. Um, I guess as early as you guys would be ready to meet on that. That one could be just a Zoom meeting or virtual meeting. Sorry.
Do you know that? There's a department head meeting on that day. We proceeded. Yeah, I think you're not you're not at risk with this. Yeah. Um we did we purchased or directed gags to purchase materials. We're going to find a weekend either the
10th or the 17th where we can do that valve cut in. Um and then other parts of it. So this the 15th would be okay. Yeah. Just for clarity. You were asked you were directed to do. Yeah. Right. You weren't going rogue. Correct.
In case Dave's watching. 15th. We have a Yeah. Can we How about the 15th? Uh, it really doesn't to that effect. It doesn't really matter. So, I I think we can push it to the following week if that works better for folks. So, the 22nd if that's available anytime that week. I'm fine.
That works for me. That works. Okay. 22nd at 3 p.m. Uh, wait a sec. Wait a minute. I'm not here on the 22nd. Come on. Yep. I mean, if you have enough, if you have a
quorum, that work. Yeah, we'll have enough. Sounds like we got enough people. Okay. You Gordon. Okay. 22nd at 3. Yeah, that's going to be virtual. Yeah,
I should make that decision. If y'all want to come in, we can make the short walk. Best room ever. 20 second three. So we'll once we get the agenda, we'll get it posted. Perfect. Hearing none. I take a uh motion to adjourn.
Ajourn second. [Music] Any discussion on that? In favor? I returned. Thank you everybody. Thank you.
