agenda. We're going to start off with public comment. We will have um liaison reports. We are going to introduce our GC, our general contractor. And then um call yours will do a financial review. We'll go over invoices

4
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:36.079
um commitments and then um schedule review and then we'll talk about um approval of prior meeting minutes and um follow up KSBC and XLP meetings. So we will start off with um public comment.

5
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:52.880
Hi, how are you? >> Laura, how are you? >> I'm good, thanks. I had a question if that's okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The last um meeting minutes or the last agenda that was posted on reading recap. I was kind of looking at that and

6
00:01:52.880 --> 00:02:09.039
you guys talked about parking alternatives one and two. Could you tell me what in [clears throat] general what that was about? What that meant? >> Oh, I wonder if she's talking about um

7
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:24.400
the um the paving >> the paving. >> I don't know. >> It said parking alternatives one and two. >> I think so. Okay. Or is she talking

8
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:46.319
about bid alternates? That wasn't parking. That was >> says on the last agenda. >> Hold on. Lauren >> if if it's um if it is if it's talking about parking um it's probably if if I'm

9
00:02:46.319 --> 00:03:02.959
going to remember correctly, it is um staff parking and contractor parking. Right. >> Okay. And we could be talking about we have two different phases. Phase one is building the new building simplify it. Simplifying it. Phase two is when we're

10
00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:18.400
um demolishing and the the existing building. >> Okay. So, it was staff and contracting. It wasn't um parent. >> No. >> No. For No. the um

11
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:36.959
there will be no parent parking on the site starting in phase two, but basically for phase one um there won't be any changes to parking, so to speak. >> Okay, that helps. Thanks. I point on

12
00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:52.239
that. >> Yeah, it's not going to affect you until we repave. We're going to be repaving um haveral and um Charleston Street. >> Okay. And that's in phase two >> potentially.

13
00:03:52.239 --> 00:04:08.879
>> I think Abram might be part, you know, part and parcel with phase one because they're kind of on the same side of the site and then Charles Street follow with package two. I'm not going to put you in the spot of that. >> The contractor makes that is going to make that decision when when they come up with their of their sequencing.

14
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:26.160
>> All right. All right. That helps. That helps. Thanks. And the second question, the second question I had had to do with the announcement this week about the town getting $100,000 in uh funding for school-based capital. Is there any

15
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:42.320
thought or discussion or could there that funding go to offset this project costs? >> That probably is going to the school committee. So you can ask them if they want to give it to us. We'll take it. >> Okay. But that this isn't something that

16
00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:56.880
you would request or anything. It would have to go it would originate at school committee >> most likely. Somebody requested that money. So >> yeah, I I believe that's an earmark and it it's typically earmarked for a

17
00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:14.560
particular a particular cause. Um so we you know we can't point it at a different um we can't point it at a different cost. >> Okay. because it just said capital improvement. It didn't say anything other than that. >> Okay. I can ask

18
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:30.800
>> where do you mind if I ask where you saw that? Because I don't recall anything breaking this week that was $100,000 >> on the town's Facebook page and >> Facebook page. >> John, we issued a press release last week

19
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:46.320
>> and we uh it's been picked up by a couple places. Jane, was it is it the ear marks? Is that what it was? >> It's the earark. That's correct. Okay. All right. For what? >> It's something capital on the capital side of the school department. It's not

20
00:05:46.320 --> 00:06:01.919
specified in the legislation. Usually earmarks are specified for a particular small capital purchase. So, $100,000 for the school department for something they're planning to replace or um

21
00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:18.000
purchase to improve their their current curriculum and offerings. That's typically what the earmark would go for, Laura. Um like on the town side, our earmark, there's a $25,000 ear mark and a $50,000 earmark. And those are for um a van for elder.

22
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:33.280
>> Yeah, I remember that. And you did get back to me with that question. So, I appreciate that. So, do I ask this? So, I asked the school committee basically about the 100,000 in terms of the specifics. >> I think you have because Mr. Brent is on

23
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:48.880
the school committee. >> Yeah, I um I'll I'll follow up with you on on the specifics. I'm the chair of the school committee. So, let me let me run down let me refresh my memory on what it is that that's earmarked for and I'll >> because this would be a really good capital project for that money to go to

24
00:06:48.880 --> 00:07:05.120
to lessen the town's debt. >> Yeah. I mean, it really is. >> No, for sure. No, I don't I don't disagree. I I I do think that there was a specific like equipment replacement, and I'm just I'm trying to refresh my memory on what it was. >> All right. If you could get back to me,

25
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:24.360
that'd be great. I appreciate >> Absolutely. >> Thank you very much, guys. I appreciate your time. >> Welcome. >> Any other public comment? Um, uh, KSBC committee members, any of the on reports,

26
00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:44.560
right? Um, and Carla, do you want me to jump in on a couple pieces on the school end? >> You go ahead, Lindsay. >> Okay. Um [snorts] I it might come up in a little bit in conversation, but a few things that I just want the committee to

27
00:07:44.560 --> 00:08:01.039
be supportive and helping with moving forward. Um the fence posts are up. Carla and Mike I know have talked about it today. I do want to just double check that the fire department is on board with the current phasing what it looks

28
00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:17.520
like and understanding for drills especially in the fall um that we're using different egresses and some of the classrooms do not have a outside exit. So, I don't know, Carla, when we can do that, maybe with the traffic meeting, but I do want to make sure they're

29
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:32.800
getting on board with with that part of that. And the we talked about it at our construction meeting last week, but I am a little weary of having enough parking for back to school. So, I think with the

30
00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:49.600
team just making sure that the timelines moving forward, we have parking spots. With the trailers, we originally had said they would be close to Sautel, closer to the maintenance driveway and on the grassy area and then there was later conversation that they're moved

31
00:08:49.600 --> 00:09:05.040
closer to they're in the parking lot where staff park. Um, so I don't with construction parking I don't know where staff are going to have if they're going to have enough space in the upcoming weeks.

32
00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:21.200
So Lindsay, just on on both of those items, the fire department was re that that logistics plan was reviewed with them. We certainly can do it again, but I I think that they were comfortable with that. I think the classroom sizes are small enough that they don't need two means of egress, things of that nature. So, but we can certainly review

33
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:37.040
that again. And then as far as the parking goes, um the number of spots that we've taken away, we're adding that same number back in in the leprechaun forest prior to you coming back to school in September. So, you're going to have those same spots. So, um as long as

34
00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:53.440
the number you had isn't going up, you you should be good. I think we're taking 12 and we're adding I don't remember the exact number, but um >> it's more than 12 now though because if it was 12 to start with, but now it would be double that because construction would be parking beyond the

35
00:09:53.440 --> 00:10:08.640
trailers. So, I believe it's like 34. So, I just want to make sure. I feel like some of it were saying it in some of the meetings, but I'm I'm not 100% feeling confident that it's going to happen. Same thing like fire for example. That's

36
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:26.000
great if they said that, but I'm the one that is telling teachers on the first day of school emergency procedures. So, I have to make sure like I also know the plan so that they effectively know the plan. >> When do you want me to set up a meeting with the chief, my deputy chief? I think

37
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:42.160
in August as it gets closer that will be important. >> I did send an update. I they want to planning the fire want to meet with PT project. So I did send an invite. So >> that's the first thing that's going to come up with families. They're going to ask you know safety protocols if there

38
00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:57.200
was something in that doorway. What's the plan? So I want to make sure we're prepared not you know scrambling the week or two before school starts. >> So totally. Yeah. What? So, we are going to follow up with that parking issue and

39
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:19.079
the fence issue with um and if we have to circle back with um fire department, we will we hear you. >> Thank you. >> Um anybody else for um ladies on reports?

40
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:36.320
Okay, we are going to introduce our general functor. >> All right, so everybody uh sitting to my my right tonight is uh TJ Dolly. He is with great uh break builders. He's the project executive for them and um we're

41
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:52.640
happy to have him on board. TJ and I have worked together in the past in Hay Roll and a little bit of Webster. >> Yeah. [clears throat] Um but uh he's here so thanks for letting him see everybody up there on the screen. So, we've got a couple members. So, just going from left to right and top bottom.

42
00:11:52.640 --> 00:12:09.920
Lindsay is our principal. You know, first, Sean Brandt is uh building committee member, but also uh school committee. Spring Steppler is building committee and and Ross is building committee and finance. And then David is with LBA and Jenny with LBA and Pat is

43
00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:26.560
the building committee vice chair. Then Phil uh is finance schools. I answer the squ. Okay. >> Yeah. Wonderful. So, nice to meet all you guys uh online and everybody here. So, I'm TJ Dehill. Uh I'm a project executive with Break Builders, but for

44
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:42.959
this particular project, I'll be the project manager. So, I'll be your point person for everything and anything. Um we have a good team coming out here. We've got uh Steve Cleley going to be the general super. He will you will start to see him out here fulltime probably right now. He was out there

45
00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:58.880
today as we get going with the fence. And so, our presence on site will be uh full-time for today. Uh Jared Hill is the APM on the project, so I know the LBA crew has been interacting with him a ton. And then as we move into September,

46
00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:15.200
October, we're going to bring in another young man. Um uh Eric, last name escapes me, but he's up in Hil pushing some summer work for us. Great young man. Um he's got a ton of knowledge and he's going to support Steve at the assistant super level. And

47
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:31.920
then we always have um anytime if we really are into something big and we need Bob Braid, the CEO or Caitlyn Johnson, our company president, uh always willing to have in uh step in to solve problems. Um again, really looking forward to it. We've been maybe a little

48
00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:47.200
bit slower to get going than I would hope, but trying to make sure that we check all the boxes and get everything ready here. So going to see a lot of movement starting up here pretty soon. We got our soil management plan in for review. We're waiting on our arborist report. We're gearing up to start that

49
00:13:47.200 --> 00:14:04.560
temporary parking. We'll have some meetings coming up in the next couple weeks. So, uh, and LBA has been great so far. Awesome response time. We're diving in on the drawings. Drawing set looks great. Uh, and we got a nice little project on our hands and we're looking forward to being a part of it.

50
00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:19.760
>> What's the name of the super again? I didn't get it. His name is Steve Quidd. And I I I'll apologize if we Carlin asked me to have Charlie, our cyber representative, here tonight and I was so focused on TJ and and being away on vacation that I forgot to invite

51
00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:35.199
Charlie. So, >> so he'll he'll be here at the next meeting. But, uh, just so everybody knows, Charlie has been working, uh, on the Ho Castino School for the last two years for us with TJ and pretty much the entire team that we're talking about. So, they've been working together. They

52
00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:51.760
have a history. They have a a good relationship already and uh that job is looking great. I actually went for the the groundbreaking uh about a month and a half ago. Yeah. Ribbon cutting. Y and the ribbon cutting, not the groundbreaking. Uh ribbon cutting. Uh and it's a really fabulous school. They

53
00:14:51.760 --> 00:15:10.320
did a great job up there. >> Looking forward to the same same quality here. Anything in the world at Charles County is great clerk. Good. So other than that you trailers are showing up trailer trailers are there um

54
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:27.040
you know surveying the work has been done quaries are coming in fast and furious through Kate so we're processing those through the appropriate channels fencing is going up now some erosion control is in place once the fencing is up the remainder of the erosion control being set in place we'll look to set up

55
00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:43.440
our know next steps we'll be getting together with TPW and everybody to just make sure everybody's comfortable with that. We're we've got our environmental protections in place out of our EPA and NIP's permit applications are in. So, we have those appropriate numbers. The building permit application has been

56
00:15:43.440 --> 00:16:00.480
filed. Uh I know that there's been interview today there's some back and forth about additional documents. LBA has been great about uh cascading that over wherever we need. Um, I know Steve is going to make some time this week to go down and just meet in person with uh your building commissioner and just see

57
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:15.759
where we're at so we can get going on that. I imagine I think we'll be in good shape if we have to get to a point where we've got to look into a foundation permit or something like that going take those steps >> and then not to get too far down the path but I think you said steel before

58
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:31.199
the winter like right like starting at least >> right right now the steel date that we have locked up is October I either 15th or 21st so we're kind of right now everything that we're backing into is on is based on that date uh fingers crossed

59
00:16:31.199 --> 00:16:47.040
we're not going to hit anything terrible in that soil and we're going to be able to just cut that stuff down, get it all out of there, bring the building pad up and and go. Uh, big part of that's going to be the soil management plan, which again, we just got that from our subcontractor last week. Cut it over to

60
00:16:47.040 --> 00:17:01.920
LBA and their group. I know they're cascading that through their people. We'll probably try to meet on that uh once everybody's had an appropriate amount of time to review it. uh get the count LSP involved uh so that when we do get everything approved and start putting shovel on the ground, we've got

61
00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:18.280
all the right materials, shipping records, and everything else that they're going to need um you know, ready to go. I'm noticing we have 19 people on. Can you can you toggle from the next view of

62
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:36.960
>> when [clears throat] do you hope to have your schedule up and running? Do you >> I hope to submit a preliminary schedule >> tomorrow for review. It will not be the full CM schedule.

63
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:53.039
>> It'll be foundations or something. >> It'll the foundation and the front end stuff will be pretty well detailed. Um, and then it'll be probably another four weeks before my consultant wraps up some CPM schedule that we can really put in a review and then start to that's going to

64
00:17:53.039 --> 00:18:12.320
be our baseline that we update every month for progress and get submitted with our I think I was mentioning Justin earlier. We also tomorrow be submitting over our um our large milestone schedule of values, our cash flow projection and our

65
00:18:12.320 --> 00:18:27.120
MS our MSBA breakdown. So that'll come over tomorrow for the team to look at. Um and then we'll start back filling very quickly some of our subcontractor schedule values along with that for you know LBA

66
00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:45.039
and callers to look at. I guess the only one we have on there that we haven't introduced yet is Joe Huggin, our director of facilities. Kevin Kabuzi, assistant director, and then Sharon Angstrom, who I think you

67
00:18:45.039 --> 00:19:03.720
Well, I think he's the CFO. Yeah, CFO now. We can see everybody on the screen. Perfect. >> Who's looking Sharon's looking for that cash? >> Yes, Sharon is looking for the cash flow and I hear about it a lot. So you didn't know Dustin

68
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:21.360
project controller. So I might mention Bob Kate and like the field team and the project team, but we'll also be supported by uh Kelly Lap. She's going to be our project controller for this. Uh she gets back from vacation uh tomorrow and uh she promised me she'd have kind of those items wrapped up for

69
00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:35.919
me. So you'll see that tomorrow. Uh we also have Todd Bestic who's our CFO and uh you know Todd is in in in the weeds of every project and uh so we have a great supporting staff behind us up at the office as well for everything admin

70
00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:52.880
finance >> I have every cash flow is also going to tie up to his schedule that he's still kind of working through the details as well. Yeah, >> it's critical. Um, we know we we had talked about cash flow during the project. It's critical because we're

71
00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:07.360
having conversations in the community about the FY28 budget and much larger issues beyond the killing school project. But these cash flows help us understand when we're going to be doing our borrowing and understanding how we're going to be doing our second

72
00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:23.360
project debt or these big projects is tying into all kinds of um assumptions and projections that we're putting together. So your cash flow is super critical and [laughter] that's why that's why we're asking for it. >> Do we have an estimate on when the cash

73
00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:38.559
flow will be ready? >> Tomorrow. >> Okay, that's good. >> And then and I would also offer this too. So like we are going to take like right now we're going to build that cash flow off of our current schedule of values and what we have under contract to date and where our schedule is right

74
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:54.720
now. Um, and as we move forward, I think the hope is that we're going to kind of accelerate progress and as that cash flow and sort of updating, we're always happy to update it for what actuals are and you know, progressing based on that how the schedule, you know,

75
00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:11.440
so when we do when we get his cash flow, it's going to be part of the overall bigger cash flow with all of ours. We put the contingencies and everything in there. And the important thing Sharon again we're happy to have a meeting with you separately but the important thing to understand there what he just said about acceleration is great I see that

76
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:26.159
with Brad all the time but accelerations means we can get a little bit ahead on the schedule but that also means we're getting ahead on the payments and so that's the part that you know Sharon we're happy to work with you but I think the contingencies that we have built in there and everything will set us up

77
00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:42.799
properly for that >> and I apologize I missed Dylan Dylan Brown from um LBA. >> Yeah. So yeah, I mean like Dylan and and and David and I were meeting every week, you know, as part of the OIC, so I know those guys are great.

78
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:59.360
>> I miss Chris, too. Chris Haley. Um sorry. >> Yeah, you miss me too, Carla. No big deal. >> As well, >> I'm the quiet one.

79
00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:15.520
>> It says 18 and I only It says 19. So down 18. Okay, I think I got everybody. >> Can I go back and ask one question? So I'm thinking here. >> I promise to I never talk this much. I'm usually quiet. The

80
00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:32.080
Do we have a tree hearing for that area scheduled or has the tree hearing already occurred for those trees? >> We've already had the tree board enough to review it and and we based the documents off his recommendations requirements.

81
00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:46.960
We're not required a hearing. >> Yeah. No hearing. We We haven't been asked to have a hearing, but we weren't told that we needed one. >> Okay. >> Do you do you think that there will be some public requests? I think there might be

82
00:22:46.960 --> 00:23:03.520
>> based on based on the websites chapter 87 on tree law. Yes. But that's just me googling things and researching as we're sitting here talking. I'll follow up with the tree. >> I just want to be cautious of I don't

83
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:20.799
want last minute for us to be ready to make that parking lot and then we're speaking for the trees and not able to do that. >> Fair on our end. I know that like there is a big uh spec section tree protection and right now our site contractor has

84
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:37.360
engaged a uh certified arborist who's coming in from the tree protection plan that is going to mimic what is in the contract documents which I imagine has been run through your tree board and everything. My hope is is that what they present to you, you will submit that formally and then we we request that the

85
00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:53.039
tree board come out, review the documents and and bless our bless our plan and we'll implement that protection and then we'll go after the um temporary farming area. >> I do know Mike has been out recently checking trees again. He's repeatedly

86
00:23:53.039 --> 00:24:14.080
been on the property. I just think that second part it still says it needs to be publicly posted. I just sent it to you. Thank you. >> So, the only other thing I'll say on TJ, uh, we invite Brad to this meeting.

87
00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:29.760
We'll invite them all the time, but we don't usually require it. If there's a specific instance that we want to have a discussion that we'd like to have them be a part of, we'll certainly make that request. But just in general, um I don't typically expect that they will be here

88
00:24:29.760 --> 00:24:46.320
regularly. But if if there's a request from the committee or something like that, we can certainly do that. But uh it's not, like I said, it's just not typical of it. But what we will do is as construction gets going, um we may consider requesting to have a meeting at

89
00:24:46.320 --> 00:25:02.960
the school maybe and do a sitewalk, you know, before the meeting or after the meeting or something like that. that's what we we tend to to to see is fruitful. So, you'll be able to see him and and his team out there, you know, during that. Um, and if we can't have the meeting at the school because of cameras or something like that, we can

90
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:18.880
always have a sidewalk and then come back here or something. It's only two miles down the road. But uh just uh just so that everybody knows that that I appreciated TJ coming tonight and and uh getting an introduction here. But I I don't want people to anticipate that

91
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:35.600
they'll be seeing him regularly unless unless he uh gets bored and wants to swing by. I hope things go so well you guys never need my presence at this meeting. >> Well, nice to have you do a construction update. That was the first official construction update, the first of many. I I I know I've said this to you in our

92
00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:53.360
initial meeting, but um we as as a committee are so thrilled with our OPM, with our designer, um with the reputation that comes from your company and we are looking forward to having you part of the team and working with you.

93
00:25:53.360 --> 00:26:24.080
Any any questions from the committee? [snorts] >> You're free to go. [laughter] >> Justin, thanks guys. >> Thank you. Cash flow tomorrow. [clears throat] I heard it on the record. Thank you. [clears throat] Perfect.

94
00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:50.840
uh budget. Yep. Right. All right. So, construction now that we officially have uh break on board, you'll see we have some committed costs against our construction budget. So right now we have we're showing the 76 uh,681,47

95
00:26:51.039 --> 00:27:08.480
uh in the committed column for the rate contract. We do have an expenditure for our construction budget. You'll see that in invoicing. That's uh I believe our builder's risk policy, but I'll review that when we get into invoices. >> And that construction value also the uh

96
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:25.520
switch gear too, right? Y just so people looking at it's not going to line up exactly every country. >> Yep. >> Uh so for architectural engineering we have uh expendit to date 6.9 million with a balance of 3.9 almost 4 million

97
00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:42.760
left. For administrative costs uh expense [clears throat] to date we have 2.6 million with a balance of 5.8 million. And then we have our FFN budget of 3.1 million.

98
00:27:43.520 --> 00:28:02.000
And we do have our project total down below which is going to change a little bit after uh some further review of numbers and and budgets. >> You want to talk about the the savings? [clears throat] I didn't want to highlight it, but next meeting I think

99
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:19.360
we'll probably make that decision as far as the bid savings. how we'll move forward how that's gonna line up. So right now the bid savings are not shown that we haven't dropped anything. So you're still seeing the full project value there >> and the process for that with MSBA.

100
00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:34.240
>> So what we're going to vote what we're going to ask you to vote on next time is the we're going to have to say so we're going to do an updated uh or an amendment to the 311 form to the project agreement. And in that amendment the MSBA is going to take their share back.

101
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:51.200
So, whatever they're going to go through and recalculate, they're they're literally going to plug in the new construction value and recalculate all the ineligible costs and the eligible costs and everything and then see where everything falls at the bottom. And whatever part is theirs, they're going

102
00:28:51.200 --> 00:29:06.720
to say, "We we need we're going to take our share back." Standard process with the MSBA. They're then going to ask us, "What do you want to do with your share of the savings?" And there's the the three answers are we'll give all of it

103
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:22.720
back now, we'll give none of it back now, or we'll give some portion of it back now. My recommendation is not to give it all back now. My recommendation would be to keep it all right now. If if that if that's not the desire of the committee, if the committee only wants to keep portion, you certainly give. I

104
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:38.240
always say I'd rather have the funds there and available if and when we need them, we can always give them back later. uh just because they're there doesn't mean we're going to spend them. And I think I know Pat for example was a little concerned when we had the original $101 million budget on the

105
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:54.080
construction that you know if you have the budget there you might spend it. But I think we we as a as a group have proven that we can tow the line even if the budget's 101 million. We we designed towards a 91 million budget because that's where we ended up and obviously the construction guy came in quite a bit

106
00:29:54.080 --> 00:30:10.880
less than that. So I think uh you know I would recommend keeping it all in there but certainly with with the value you're talking about if somebody wanted to propose a certain amount of keeping and certain amount of taking back or something like that >> [clears throat] >> um again it's your >> I think we discussed this last meeting

107
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:26.960
>> we discussed it last meeting and and I think we wanted to give you a little bit more time to think about it and we've had some discussion with the MSBA >> the consensus last meeting was that they should not keep it all they should go I think that was consensus Um, I would strongly object to keeping

108
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:42.640
it all in there because taxpayers money. It's not our money. It's talent people money. They deserve to get it back to as much as they can with the caveat that we have to be prudent. But we can't keep it all. It's

109
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:57.919
bad policy to keep it all. It's bad image to keep it all. And it's bad financial money to keep it all. It's not our money. We have to keep that in mind. It's not our money. I said just cuz you have the money there doesn't get back. >> Yes. But it's not our money to give

110
00:30:57.919 --> 00:31:12.720
back. It's already it should be automatically given back to a certain extent because it's not us. It's not our money to decide. It's not that it's our cash. It's the people's cash. >> Right. And and and John, we won't be

111
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:30.000
taking when we actually um go for the financing. We're not going to be taking that whole amount. We're only going to be taking what we need. But I I agree with you that it it's we shouldn't have all that extra there, right? We should have some of it back,

112
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:45.679
but we just so people are clear, we're not going to actually take that full amount so the taxpayers won't pay. >> No, we should be confident in our natural abilities to not have to keep that's just way up, >> right? >> So the next meeting we'll make that

113
00:31:45.679 --> 00:32:02.159
decision. Yeah. >> We'll take a vote. So next meeting the budget will still reflect the values that we have right now and then we'll take a vote and then the meeting after that will be reflected in the budget. >> Yes. >> When does the PFA do back to whether we do we have to give our part document

114
00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:21.120
back to that? >> I think the official timeline is towards the end of August but I think we're going to do that. >> Just so you know just because we give it to them in August doesn't mean it trans. They take a while on their side. >> They don't just cover our debt.

115
00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:38.000
>> Uh we have no budget transfers for this month. And we have a few expenditures. One's from uh Harrington Heat, which is the town's legal council. Uh cab risk strategies, which is the builder's risk

116
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:56.000
u policy. Uh David Deair, the wring clerk, and then Collers and LBA. And I put the total over here, Nancy. So you don't have to we don't have to do the math in. >> Okay. Go ahead. Good. Good. I was already going through. They're trying to do the math. >> She's already done the math.

117
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:10.720
>> All right. [snorts] Are we ready? Are these commitments or are these? >> These are invoices. >> All [clears throat] right. Ready for the motions? Please move to uh accept and pay Harrington

118
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:34.080
Heat LLP invoice number 3223 uh for $2,8 >> second by John. Any discussion and a vote Pat? >> Yes. >> John, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. Chris,

119
00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:51.039
>> yes. >> Ed, >> yes. >> Greg, >> yes. >> Nancy, >> yes. >> And Carla, yes. That passes. Thank you. Move to accept and pay the invoice from Cab Risk Strategies LLC

120
00:33:51.039 --> 00:34:11.200
for $145,782. Uh, this is for new builders risk. >> Second. >> Seconded by John. Any discussion? [clears throat] Going to the vote. Pat, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes.

121
00:34:11.200 --> 00:34:26.240
>> Yes. >> Greg, >> yes. >> And Nancy, >> yes. >> And Carla, yes. And that passes. Thank you. >> Uh, move to accept and pay the invoice from David Delair for $1,275

122
00:34:26.240 --> 00:34:44.960
invoice number DD6. >> Second. Seconded by John. Any discussion? >> Pat, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes. >> Ed, >> yes. >> Greg, >> yes.

123
00:34:44.960 --> 00:35:03.760
>> Nancy, >> yes. >> Carol, yes. Fascinating. Thank you. Uh move to accept and pay invoice number 1192583 from Collier's project leaders for $71,356.50. >> Second.

124
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:21.440
>> Second by John. Any discussion? Pat, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> John, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes. >> Ed, >> yes. >> Greg, >> yes. Nancy, >> yes. >> And Carla, yes. That passes.

125
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:40.640
>> And then move to accept and pay invoice number 24002 from Lavalier Rosen LBA for um $141,87410. >> Second, seconded by John. Any

126
00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:58.480
discussion? Pat. >> Yes. >> John. Yes, >> John. >> Yes, >> Chris. >> Yes, >> Ed. >> Yes, >> Greg. >> Yes, >> yes, >> Carol. Yes, that passes. Thank you.

127
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:14.560
>> Right. Yeah, that's it. >> Right. And I believe we uh we have three commitments. This is just the Harrington heat invoice amount. I think town has a house doctor contractor. >> Yeah. So, this would just be a value applied just as a commitment for the

128
00:36:14.560 --> 00:36:31.040
budget. And then we have the builder's risk which I built I know we we voted to uh approve the town to carry the builders risk a few meetings ago but this would just be to vote for the commitment value to be applied to the budget. And then we have uh the [clears throat] contract that we've approved right for

129
00:36:31.040 --> 00:36:47.040
the 76 million. Again this is just applied to the budget. So I think these are more bullets of acknowledgement than approvals. All right. Do you need a motion? Obviously, uh move to uh accept the committed cost

130
00:36:47.040 --> 00:37:13.640
to the budget for Harington LLP for $2,88. >> All right. Go ahead. >> Do you want to keep going? >> Oh, gather all. Okay. uh move to accept Cabat Risk Strategies LLC for $145,782

131
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:38.640
and Great Construction for 76,387,825. >> Seconded by John. Any discussion? >> Seeing none, Pat? >> Yes. >> John, [snorts] >> yes. >> John, >> yes. Chris, >> yes. >> Ed, >> yes.

132
00:37:38.640 --> 00:38:00.720
>> Greg, >> yes. >> Nancy, >> yes. >> And Carly, yes. That passes. Thank you, Nancy. >> Schedule. >> Just touch on cash flow. We are trending a little bit below. It's all right. And as promised by uh great, we'll have an

133
00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:18.160
updated cash flow. So, this will be updated next week with the uh contractor's um projections as far as when what we're going to be building out for each requisition moving forward. Mike, you and I forgot that we actually did this

134
00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:32.880
indication. We kind of added a new a new line to uh our cash flow graph. The red is where we currently are. uh we are trending and then we have our uh estimated incumbrance and then the estimated expenditures and then we also

135
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:49.119
have um a baseline. I think we were doing this based on the bid savings. >> So I think yeah if you look at it the red line there at the bottom is what we've actually spent to date. The blue line would be your potential cash flow if we gave all the savings back. The

136
00:38:49.119 --> 00:39:05.200
yellow line is if we didn't give any savings back including the MSBA savings. So that's the original $130 million budget. And then the green line would be if you gave back the MSBA projected MSBA portion only and you kept the full value

137
00:39:05.200 --> 00:39:20.880
of yours. So somewhere between the green and blue is what it sounds like will end up. But we wanted to I think there was some questions on cash flow and stuff. So we tried to expand this a little bit so you could kind of see all three of those for now until we until we make a

138
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:36.720
decision on which one it is. And I think I've asked you this question before. If if we give this money back to the MSBA, if if we say, "Okay, we're just going to take half of that bids bid savings, do that doesn't affect LBA or Collier's

139
00:39:36.720 --> 00:39:52.240
contract amount." >> No, just not. >> Right. Because you guys are you have set amount percentage, it's a set amount. when when we do the adjustment, the ineligible parts kind of all get recalculated, but they they do it based off the value. So

140
00:39:52.240 --> 00:40:08.240
the the ineligible portions may be adjusted a little bit, but the the contract values don't change. And and again, when we show the cash flow here, we're I'm going to say showing quote unquote worst case, it's spending all of it. So any one, you know, the yellow line, the green line, it's still showing

141
00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:26.000
spending all those potential values. Doesn't mean we're going to, but that's what that's what you do in a catch, which you show that you're spending it all. Greg has to stand up. Greg, >> yeah, unrelated to the uh the cash flow, but a schedule related question. I was

142
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:41.520
uh and probably missed it at the appropriate meeting time, but did we end up getting and did we review and approve and release the early switch gear shop drawings? Are they in FAB as we speak?

143
00:40:41.520 --> 00:41:03.119
>> I believe they are. Yes. Yes. Yes, sir. >> Okay. Thank you. >> So, we'll continue to probably track this until the vote next month this way if if that works for everybody showing kind of the the three the three tiers, if you will. And and chair and we can

144
00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:21.680
share that information with you as well. the uh the actual numbers that calculate into that into that graphic if we have it already. I think it's probably [clears throat] right. >> All right. Try to do [clears throat] 3D graphs and different this actually was one that was

145
00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:39.200
easily easiest to repeat. >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh for schedule, I think TJ covered some some highlights as far as what's going on around the site. Currently, we uh we issued our notice notice for seed. Uh so, current we have

146
00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:57.440
people on site uh doing surveying and um lining out where the fence is going to go. I think TJ mentioned some erosion control. Um but action is going on and we are we are on our way. Uh so we are working our we'll be working our

147
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:13.839
way from phase one and then starting phase two come uh March 28 I mean March of 28 2028. So we got some we got some uh work ahead of us. >> So if you look at our schedule, we'll have things like moving in and and FFN and things of that nature. But just to

148
00:42:13.839 --> 00:42:28.800
remind everybody, we have one line in there that says construction basically, you know, phase one construction. Um TJ kind of hinted at already. They're working on a schedule that is probably going to be two or three thousand lines long that will give us all the details. [clears throat] We don't typically try

149
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:45.119
to take their schedule and say merge it into ours or something like that. But we always have their schedule. They they give us a three-week look ahead which always shows us what's happening over the next three weeks in a lot more detail even than their master schedule. [clears throat] And uh um uh Dave Delair

150
00:42:45.119 --> 00:43:00.240
is seeing that the weekly meetings as well as us as well as the the design team. We're going to be keeping an eye on that, making sure that that that 3we look ahead actually coordinates with what's actually happening in the field and that both of those actually coordinate to the master scanning.

151
00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:16.960
Right. So, uh you know that that's part of the overall uh duties for us to make sure that we stay on schedule and uh you know I would have said it with TJ in the room, but my my experience with Brad is that they tend to be the schedule. They they tend to be a little ahead of the

152
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:31.920
schedule whenever possible. not a bad thing >> to ask them about um um geothermal but frameworks do those >> I think from what we've heard from them

153
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:48.560
so far they're the he he kind of said it that's why I asked about the steel they they they've got a commitment from the steel company of when they can start the erection and they're [clears throat] that's their milestone right now so they're driving towards that so I think they're going to be focusing on the building foundations and something like

154
00:43:48.560 --> 00:44:05.280
that first and the geothermal might might follow follow suit after that >> is the steel tariff in Canada >> I believe so >> what's what's the latest tariff >> right now I think it's still at at 50% uh tariff that's what we've seen in in

155
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:20.319
uh women >> yeah still yeah that's an extra cost >> should be because it's it was there in place >> yeah so what whatever was in place at the A is what they own. If it goes up or

156
00:44:20.319 --> 00:44:40.240
down from there, then we would make an adjustment on your account from there. >> Mike, can you find out for me the maintenance driveway currently that leads to the trailers? I'm assuming some people will be bringing their cars in that way as well as construction

157
00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:56.880
vehicles we know are coming off of that. Is there signage that they put up that says only construction on that driveway? I only ask because I saw people driving down it today. >> So once they have the fence up, there'll actually be gates there.

158
00:44:56.880 --> 00:45:12.560
>> Okay. >> Yeah. So, and the construction will the construction personnel will be if they're parking on site, it will be within the gates within the construction plan. So, they they won't be parking anywhere uh in the ne they shouldn't be parking in the neighborhoods. they shouldn't be parking on property outside

159
00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:28.761
of the feds. So again, that's that's something that we'll manage along with the break team. Um that's one of those things that sometimes you have to make an example of somebody, you know, like smoking on the school. You can't smoke on school school grounds and ine inevitably you have to, you know, kind

160
00:45:28.761 --> 00:46:00.640
[clears throat] of kick something off the school grounds and then nobody smokes for it. >> So in theory, we won't need to do snow removal there >> within the construction fence. Not at all. They'll they'll take care of all their own. Okay, thank you to accept the 615

161
00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:17.760
2026 meeting minutes for building and kilm school building. Seconded by John. Any discussion? Okay. Time for the vote. Pat, >> yes. >> John, >> yes.

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:35.280
>> Don, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes. >> Ed, >> yes. >> Greg, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Carla, yes. Just looking ahead at our uh our next meeting is going to be on um

163
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:51.839
August 17. And then um September 21st and October 19th, November 16th uh day four of town meeting possibly November 16. We're gonna have to look at that one. >> Yeah.

164
00:46:51.839 --> 00:47:10.400
>> Yeah. >> So um anything else from anyone? Oh motion motion to adjurnn. Oh second >> seconded by John nondebatable Pat.
