>> Linda. Just to just to check, did you call Stacy for her vote on the approval of the minutes? >> Um, I did not. I had passed her. So, I can go back. Uh, Stacy for uh approval of meeting minutes for roll call

16
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:58.320
>> and Yes. >> Yes. Absolutely. Thank you. >> Sounds good. I am going to take the screen. Uh invoices. Um I'm going to zoom into the top first set uh invoices left field invoice 61

17
00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:14.720
for March. Um billing in construction administration uh in plus of uh inclusive of two allowance expenditures. One is the dust monitoring proposal for Sandborn Head. That's about um 10% complete. That'll

18
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:30.720
continue uh as we monitor dust on site. And uh code consulting for municipal code consulting. Um this is the one of the probably the second to last bill from municipal code consulting. They have some final

19
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:56.080
signoffs to do on shop drawings. Um but otherwise have completed all their design reviews. Um, so left field invoice totals $224,544. Any questions on the left field invoice? >> If not, we would entertain a motion to

20
00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:20.880
approve left field invoice 61 in the total amount of $224,544. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. Roll call. Linda. >> Yep. Um, Mike Bardi. >> Yes.

21
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:36.000
>> Stacy Rizzo. >> Yes. >> Susan Graalisi. >> Yes. >> Dr. Kelly, >> yes. >> Carl Spenson, >> yes. >> Christopher Bowen, >> yes. Rich Visque.

22
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:52.560
>> Yes. >> Nick Rystrom. >> Yes. >> Mayor Keith, >> yes. >> Anthony Kaggleandro, >> yes. >> Don Martelli, >> yes. >> Chris Saramela,

23
00:06:52.560 --> 00:07:08.560
>> yes. >> Thank you. Motion passes. >> Uh, next is the third and final invoice for the builder's risk insurance premium. Um, we have noted here, I just wanted to explain it. It says on this, um, when we approved the first, they

24
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:25.039
first sent a full invoice and the full invoice was approved back in December. Um, right around that time, um, Rich and the city worked out um, a payment option with them. So, the first two invoices were processed against the original

25
00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:44.720
approval. Um, we are seeking approval of this third invoice. So, if we somebody went back to um December, it would look like you approved the whole policy then, but the way it's been paid incrementally, we have a final invoice for $46,728.75. This will uh fully expend the full value

26
00:07:44.720 --> 00:08:04.240
of the builder's risk insurance policy that the city is holding. >> To approve. >> Second. That was Kristen, Carl, Linda. >> Yep. Thank you. Uh, roll call. Mike Picardi.

27
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:38.320
>> Yes. >> Stacy Rizzo. >> Stacy, is that a yes? Don't know. I Stacy, can you hear us? We all come. Oh, there we go. >> Yes, I can. I'm sorry. >> It's all right. Thank you, Stacy.

28
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:53.440
Susan Graalisi, >> yes. >> Dr. Kelly, >> yes. >> Carl Senson, >> yes. >> Christopher Bowen, >> yes. >> Rich Visque, >> yes. >> Nick Rystrom,

29
00:08:53.440 --> 00:09:10.000
>> yes. Mayor Keith, >> yes. >> Anthony Kagglandro, >> yes. >> Don Martelli, >> yes. >> Chris Camela, >> yes. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Next is the uh Briggs

30
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:26.480
Engineering and Testing Invoice. This is an invoice you'll see monthly uh construction material testing. We've eroded uh after approval of this 23,742, we've eroded about 6% of the $400,000 budget here. Um this is an item that uh

31
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:43.680
mostly is expended in this first few phases of the project as we're doing concrete, steel, soil work. Uh there's there is testing later in the project, but um so far we think we're on course here. Uh probably by the time we're in about winter and we're done with steel,

32
00:09:43.680 --> 00:10:01.000
we'll do a little review of um getting through those heavy phases. How did we do against the 400? And we'll forecast uh whether we think we'll be over under on that budget category. But in good shape right now. Um Briggs invoice for March. Total's $23,742.

33
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:22.560
Motion to approve. >> Second. Roll calls starting with Mike Bardi. >> Yes. >> Stacy Rizzo. >> Yes. >> Susan Graalisi. >> Yes. >> Dr. Kelly. >> Yes.

34
00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:38.240
>> Carl Spenson. >> Yes. >> Christopher Bowen. >> Yes. >> Rich Visque. >> Yes. >> Nick Rystrom. >> Yes. Mayor Keefe, >> yes.

35
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:53.920
>> Anthony Kaggleandro, >> yes. >> Don Martelli, >> yes. >> Permela, >> yes. >> Thank you. Next invoice. Perkins Eastman um billing to 3% completion of

36
00:10:53.920 --> 00:11:09.120
construction administration and um the ongoing um work with MASDOT doing final permitting uh against the traffic category uh Perkins Eastman invoice total for

37
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:36.079
March $59,75183. >> Motion to approve. Second. >> Uh, roll call. Mike Mccardi. >> Yes. >> Stacy Rizzo. >> Yes. >> Susan Graalisi. >> Yes.

38
00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:55.920
>> Dr. Kelly. >> Yes. >> Charles Spenson. >> Yes. >> Christopher Bowen. Christopher Bowens. >> Uh, yes. Can you hear me? >> Yes. Thank you. >> Rich Visque.

39
00:11:55.920 --> 00:12:11.360
>> Yes. >> Nick Rystrom. >> Yes. >> Mayor Keith. >> Yes. >> Anthony Kaggleandro. >> Yes. >> Don Martelli. >> Yes. >> Chrisa.

40
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:27.600
>> Yes. >> Thank you. Um last invoice for the night, the Conigley requisition 10A for March. Um we're still billing to the direct cost that my mouse is uh hovering over here for um site demolition, start

41
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:44.480
of concrete, that's probably only billing at around a percent of that contract. Structural steel is picking up as uh orders are going in to fabrication up in Canada. Uh and as if you've driven by the site, you know there's a whole lot of site work going on down there. So

42
00:12:44.480 --> 00:13:02.000
um this has been reviewed by left field by Perkins Eastman. Um all these direct costs um are billing at an appropriate percentage and all of these uh above items the insuranceances and bonds all bill as a percent of the below. So, um,

43
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:23.440
no surprises in the Consley construction invoice. It's in alignment with work complete. And this month it totals 8 million 50,489,00086. >> Brian, just a quick question. Is the last line item there a negative value?

44
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:41.680
>> Correct. Um, good point. So retainage retainage is um every time we approve a bill with Conigley there's an amount that's retained the invoice is approved um but it's not paid all the retainage is tracked and as individual

45
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:58.639
um trades become complete would then request that retainage be released on a future invoice. Um we're not there yet. The first trades that we'll see become complete are in the usually structural steel category. So

46
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:13.360
this is amount an amount every month that's retained on direct work that is not released until the each trade line value is at 100% and we agree and we release the retainage that was held against it.

47
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:30.399
Standard practice in these public um 149 and 149A construction projects. And is it um safe to say that that ensures to the city that the full job gets done before the subcontractor or whoever gets the full amount of the

48
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:46.240
contract? >> It's exactly it. So we all we have to agree that they're um complete complete and then we can start releasing retainage at that point. Those will be discussions probably you know fall winter is when maybe we'll have the first discussion about that with steel

49
00:14:46.240 --> 00:15:09.560
and then it'll take a while to get there for all these other trades. Towards the end of the job is when most of that retainage gets released. >> Thank you. >> Motion to approve sigly invoice. >> Second.

50
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:27.440
>> Roll call. Mike Picardi. >> Yes. >> Stacy Rizzo. >> Yes. >> Susan Graalisi. Yes, >> Dr. Kelly. >> Yes, >> Carl Spenson. >> Yes, >> Christopher Bowen.

51
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:42.959
>> Yes, >> Rich Visque. >> Yes, >> Nick Rystrom. >> Yes, >> Mayor Keem. >> Yes. >> Anthony Cogleandro. >> Yes. >> Don Martelli. >> Yes.

52
00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:59.839
>> Chrisella. >> Yes. Thank you. >> Excellent. We are going to move into agenda item four uh which is we're going to do a a brief presentation, high level presentation about the GMP contract.

53
00:15:59.839 --> 00:16:15.920
It's a major milestone. Um we're here to talk about tonight. The committee received um some analysis. I just lost control of my windows. Thank you Diane. Thank you Joe for going through all a lot of those summaries. Uh thank you

54
00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:33.519
Chris, Mayor, Claudia, Nick, everyone who's sort of do dove deep with us on this uh this GMP contract. Um high level we look at it is a schedule update and a budget update. So starting with the budget um >> you recall the original construction

55
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:50.800
cost budget that was approved is 412 million. Um, after we back out the 2 million for the builder's risk, which the city procured on their own, you can call that a $410 million budget, this GMP is coming in at $395.1

56
00:16:50.800 --> 00:17:14.799
million, uh, which is 14,852,441 under budget. So, a $14.8 million savings on the GMP. that money. Um those funds we are proposing um to move into the owner's hard cost contingency. Um

57
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:30.240
the budget always contained an $18.5 million um hard cost contingency. We have not spent a dime of that. So after incorporating the $14.8 million in savings, the $18.5 million contingency

58
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:47.440
becomes 33.3 million. Um which is wonderful. high level. When we estimated and passed the project, it was at a $950 a square foot number. After bidding, we're coming in closer to $935.

59
00:17:47.440 --> 00:18:03.600
And that original contingency I just talked about was always built as 4.5% of the total construction value. After we move all the savings into that contingency, it'll currently be around 8.5%.

60
00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:18.640
Um, so really great news on the financial side of this project. Uh, I have to say that I've never seen any public project that I've worked on in as good a position budget-wise. Um, we have

61
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:36.000
appropriate items built into this GMP that um, left field is certainly confident. I think the whole team's confident that we'll be able to deliver this under the GMP value. Um, so by the time we're closing out the project or even done with a lot of the scope that

62
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:50.799
we're going to be working on in the next year or two, we're hopefully going to be in a position to say we can beat this $395 million GMP. So, I don't want to get people too confused with a lot of numbers, but the bottom line is 14.8

63
00:18:50.799 --> 00:19:07.679
million under and incredibly healthy financial outlook for this project. Um, I'm going to pause for a second, see if um, make sure anyone else on the project team, any left fielders or any Conigley folks, if um, or Perkins Eastman, if you

64
00:19:07.679 --> 00:19:26.960
folks want to weigh in uh, and reiterate the health of this budget if you happen to agree. Um, I think the committee would love to hear from you at this point. >> Well, this is Darren with Conigley. Um

65
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:42.400
we wholeheartedly uh concur. Um we uh feel that this project is uh in great shape uh financially moving forward. So um we um yeah, we think we've got all

66
00:19:42.400 --> 00:20:02.720
the uh areas that we need uh in the budget to make sure that uh we can get this thing done and minimize change orders as much as possible. Agreed. I know there was a lot more detailed info in the primer that was sent out. Um

67
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:18.400
I could we could either pause and talk budget or or we could do a quick schedule summary as well and then go back to the committee see if anyone had any questions. Do you >> want me to pause here or want me to talk schedule for a minute? Ryan, I'll let you go, but I do want to just, you know,

68
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:35.120
kind of piggyback on what you're saying and just the levity of I know that this this group here has been very familiar with the project over, you know, the last couple years, but, you know, there's always been the noise outside that we, you know, we can't control and

69
00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:50.960
we'll never be able to control. Uh, we we we know what the project is. We we've been reviewing all the documents and you know spending hours upon hours a week uh sometimes getting into arguments but that's part of being on a project team and this is really you know we we knew

70
00:20:50.960 --> 00:21:06.799
this we obviously knew news news was coming before today as we went through the GMP that was in the preview stage over the last week or so but um we're really happy it's budgetary news um and we know that the project's in good hands that doesn't mean that we're going to

71
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:22.159
just lay back and coast the next two and a half years either. So, I want to make sure that the public understands that this project still has, you know, two and a half more years of of of pressure and uh good leadership and good good teamwork to make sure that we that the

72
00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:38.480
the city gets the best product available and that we deliver to the residents of Rivier and the future students and and everyone on this team is going to have a very vested interest in that. So, I thank you for getting us to this point and the group uh that's here today. It's really good news. It's really like a little we can give ourselves a little

73
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:59.039
pat on the back and then let's get back to work. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, I'll continue on for now and I'm going to get back on the screen here. And I thought it would be helpful from a schedule perspective to just put together a very simplified perhaps

74
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:23.919
oversimplified graphic. But um how can I go full screen? Where did it go? I don't see my full screen button. This might have to do for now. Oh, here we go. Okay, let me get that out of the

75
00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:40.799
way. All right, so um these are a graph very simple graphical representation of the next few years here that uh more or less uh has been pulled from the GMP schedule that I thought would be helpful. And we're going to just we'll

76
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:56.640
talk I'll talk through this briefly and then we'll zoom in on uh really the closeout phase um which is when everything comes to fruition here. But Conigi is and has been uh working the site, working site utilities, working ground improvements

77
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:12.559
um and concrete footings have become underway this month leading into uh foundations and elevated decks, which is going to going to pretty much be going on through the remainder of this year and into winter as we get out of the

78
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:28.559
ground and structural steel shows up. So, we're working towards um a middle of July commencement of erecting steel on site. It's always a huge milestone getting that steel on site and then getting it finished. Anticipate the

79
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:45.440
erection of steel to be done uh by the end of this year in December. And as that building is goes up and as foundations and elevated decks are poured, uh, the envelope work can start on the building starting with the roofing working its way into the facade.

80
00:23:45.440 --> 00:24:01.760
So envelope work from this fall straight out through next fall. We'll be able to enclose the building. On the mechanical side, geothermal wells will start to be drilled um, in the coming weeks. Monday, if I'm not mistaken, we're going to uh Conigi and their subs will be drilling

81
00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:17.440
the first wells. And that leads into once we have an enclosed building and interior areas to work, we'll uh move into area by area mechanical construction inside the building on the roof in the mechanical rooms, which will

82
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:33.840
be more or less rapidly followed with all of the interior construction trades from uh laying out and framing walls all the way down to final finishes. So, um, the point I wanted to make here on these huge bars of mechanical systems and interior construction is, um, there's a

83
00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:50.640
really detailed sequence that Conigley has developed through the building. Um, so there's we're working our way I think the easiest way to think about it is from towards the train tracks out to the street. Uh, in a multi- we call them buildings, but you can consider them

84
00:24:50.640 --> 00:25:05.760
area. This is really only one building. So, uh, there's a detailed flow through the building both with mechanical systems and interior construction that all culminates into the summerfall 2028 leads into our closeout phase. Um, the

85
00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:22.400
red bar here over on the right is represents substantial completion of November 8th. That's what's in the GMP and the green bar is commencement of classes uh, anticipated on January 2nd, 2029. So, zooming in on the back end of

86
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:37.440
this schedule a little bit, this 2028 phase, um site work gets finished up before the summer. Um and you can see these purple and green bars that have been a little bit uh broken up here to

87
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:53.919
show that we're working our way back towards the last area. The last areas of the building that are scheduled to be complete are in area C. And the area C works its way from the top to the bottom level from level four down to one. So the part of what I wanted to stress here

88
00:25:53.919 --> 00:26:11.919
is that major swaths of the building um are mostly complete complete from an interior point of view, a mechanical systems point of view well before here. Maybe all the systems aren't tied together, aren't online. Um but the last sequences of this schedule are relegated

89
00:26:11.919 --> 00:26:28.240
into one area of the overall building and certain levels of the building. What'll start happening in uh late 2027 and early 2028 is closeout activities area by area as they become complete will uh come into play. That includes a

90
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:42.640
lot of punch listing, system verification by engineers, architect, um left fields, MEP folks, commissioning agents, etc. And those phases more or less uh you know get into full steam

91
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:58.720
closeout work in the early spring and run out into the October range with final inspections, affidavits, etc. in late October that lead up to that big red bar November 8th substantial completion.

92
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:15.200
We have work to do outside of the construction contract on the back end of this. We'll be getting in this building early in um July so the tech um the tech staff at the school has the summer to start getting server rooms and closet set up and then we'll work our way as we

93
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:31.919
get later into um into 2028 into loose technology deployment and furniture deployment. Ultimately we're uh have a sequence of packing and moving in December through the holidays that enables uh the January 2nd occupancy.

94
00:27:31.919 --> 00:27:47.120
There's also a lot of training, staff training, uh, building training. Uh, we'll be occupying a lot of the IT staff, Carl and his staff's time, uh, this summer and this fall as we get into this building. Overall, um, you can sort

95
00:27:47.120 --> 00:28:03.600
of see here the schedule more or less has a month or so of what we call float built on the back end. And that means in theory um the building could be ready to occupy in December. And we have what we feel is an acceptable landing strip here

96
00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:20.640
to get the owner furnished items that are outside of Conigley's contract technology furniture uh equipment in here. Most importantly, um there's been a lot of thought, a lot of discussion with the team with Conigi about uh bidding an accelerated schedule with

97
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:37.360
subcontractors. Um, all of the subcontractors are on a slightly more aggressive schedule than these purple and green bars show. And I'm going to sort of go back. So, the this um schedule that was bid with the sub consultants, these purple and green

98
00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:52.720
bars are a little bit compressed. And as we work our way towards getting all those subs on board, which we need this GMP approval tonight to do, um, we hope to open up more backend on this schedule. So, as it's laid out right

99
00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:08.720
now, left field is confident that we can finish and uh get everyone in this building in the time frame we say and we have some real means with Conigley and Conigley subcontractors to work towards bettering this schedule and opening up a

100
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:24.399
bigger landing strip on the back end here and um perhaps just have more time. Be always wonderful if we can get in a little bit earlier with furniture and technology. It's going to be a whole lot of deliveries, a lot of work. We're confident in how the schedule's laid

101
00:29:24.399 --> 00:29:40.159
out. We have a plan to make it better. You'll hear a lot about that as we progress through the critical path of the schedule in the next year or two. But overall, um, I know left field has confidence that we can meet this schedule. And I wanted to do what I just

102
00:29:40.159 --> 00:29:57.039
did with the budget and defer to Conigley or Perkins Eastman, our project team people to um to let the committee know how you feel about the schedule side of this project. >> We we also concur. We've worked uh quite extensively on this schedule um as

103
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:13.840
everyone knows and um we still have more detail that we want to put in it and there are strategies that we're employing as we move into the next phase of construction with the both the filed trades and the non-filed trades that as

104
00:30:13.840 --> 00:30:30.080
we get them on board to um try to as Brian was saying bring this uh the back end of the schedule in as early as possible to ensure that there will not be any delays in uh occupancy for start

105
00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:50.559
of classes on January of uh 29. Thank you, Darren. And a lot of these schedule previews are all dependent on getting done the items that are right in front of us going back here these next number of months. uh getting this foundation poured, getting steel on site

106
00:30:50.559 --> 00:31:06.240
is what's critical now. Anything we can do to to hold and better what we're doing now will help us later. So our our focus in the short term and Conigley's focus in the short term is getting through these completing ground improvements, completing the foundation,

107
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:21.919
getting steel on site, finishing steel. that is the most critical part of the uh of the front end of the schedule which any improvements we have back here are going to make the back end of the schedule better. So, >> correct. And um yeah, as we stand today,

108
00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:36.399
and I'll I'll review this uh a little bit later in the discussion, but we are on schedule for foundations. Um it's tight. We're pushing. Um but we we're still in good shape to uh receive steel

109
00:31:36.399 --> 00:31:54.159
in July. And uh the steel erection that commences in July will be what we call the critical path which means that once we start that we gauge the remainder of the project from there. So um we're on

110
00:31:54.159 --> 00:32:14.799
schedule for a July start with uh steel. >> Thank you Darren. Uh I can put anything back on the screen, but I'll stop sharing right now to see if um anyone from the city. I know we've again I want to thank the people who've all of you, but a lot of

111
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:30.320
people have spent a lot of time. Dr. Kelly, Mr. Mayor, Chris, Chris, Nick, Joe Leuen. Um any of you folks have any questions or any comments? Um again, we think we're in a good place. We're ready to go and uh we look forward to making

112
00:32:30.320 --> 00:32:54.960
this a success over the next few years. if there >> I don't I don't I don't think I have anything. I just want to say that um so the the committee knows um I did not receive any questions from any school building committee members. Um there was there was one from uh Rich Visque a

113
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:11.919
series of things that we have to do but that they're coming after the GMP. Um, and I believe that was the only inquiry um, regarding the GMP. >> And maybe I'll add in some very quick next steps. So, we approve the GMP

114
00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:29.519
tonight. We get that executed with the city. We submit that to the MSBA with some other supplemental documents. They need the >> the money into one single line item. >> Okay. Thank you. the way the the reimbursement strategy

115
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:44.799
is kind of detailed, Nick, but um in the end MSBA is going to review this as they would any estimate as they have in the past. They come up with a big number of ineligible costs. They decide what to assign as ineligible. So putting this money in various places um sort of

116
00:33:44.799 --> 00:34:10.120
defends against uh putting it all in one spot and having that the spot that's deemed ineligible. So, um it's as with any allowances, we can put them in various trades, but the strategy there was to split the big one into two. Any other questions, comments?

117
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:29.720
If not, we would seek a motion to approve consigly contract amendment 10 including the final guaranteed maximum price contract in the total amount of $395,154,413.

118
00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:49.599
>> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> Thank you very much. I will do the roll call for this. Um, starting with Mike Bardi. >> Yes.

119
00:34:49.599 --> 00:35:22.160
>> Stacy Rizzo. Stacy, is that a yes? Stacy, can you hear us? Or did I just miss it? >> I'll keep my eye on the chat. Linda. >> Okay, I'll I'll continue on. I'll come back. Dr. Kelly,

120
00:35:22.160 --> 00:35:38.960
>> yes. >> Carl Spenson, >> yes. >> Christopher Bowen >> Bowen lost his signal. He's trying to reconnect, but I don't know if he's going to be able to. >> In the meantime, I am a yes and I apologize.

121
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:55.200
>> No problem. Thank you, Stacy. We'll come back to Christopher Bowen. Uh, Rich Visque, >> yes. >> Nick Rystrom, >> yes. >> Mayor Keith, >> yes. >> Anthony Cogandro,

122
00:35:55.200 --> 00:36:14.079
>> yes. >> Don Martelli, >> yes. >> Chris Camela, >> yes. >> And I'm going to go back and see. Did Christopher Bowen come back? >> Excuse me, Linda, I think you skipped over me. I'm sorry, Susan Graalisi.

123
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:31.440
>> That is a yes. And I believe Tom Skarowski entered the um Zoom a little bit ago. >> Yes, I did. Thank you, Susan. I was in and out. Um but I am a yes. >> Thank you, Tom, very much. I will note that and

124
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:46.640
I will check for the arrival time uh later on. Um, and we still don't have Christopher Bowen, correct? I don't see him. All right. Well, we definitely have the

125
00:36:46.640 --> 00:37:04.400
motion passed anyway. So, I will >> note that. Thank you very much. >> Excellent. >> Thank you. And congratulations. Major milestone. Um, rest of the milestones are going to be a little more physical. Still topping off, opening the building.

126
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:19.599
So, um, this was probably our last big on paper milestone. Everything else will be, uh, will be real life at that point. Uh, let me look at the agenda. So, next, we wanted, uh, to ask Conigley for a quick update on construction progress.

127
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:42.079
Agenda item six. >> Okay. Um, can you see my screen sharing? >> It's trying. It's not. Yep, it's there. All set. Oh, okay. All right. Um, so overview here. Um,

128
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:58.800
the, uh, you can kind of see the building shape here, uh, on the screen. Um, uh, the gymnasium over in the, uh, far left over here. Uh, the auditorium and back of house utilities area on the

129
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:13.920
right. Uh then down below uh you've got the across the entire frontage is the um what will be the front of the school um the classroom uh portion of the of

130
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:31.119
the school. Um as you can see here we have a lot of uh foundational work going on in the back of the site which is the plan. We once again are moving from the rear of the school to the front of the

131
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:49.040
school. Uh simultaneously working on both uh what we call building F which is the gymnasium and building E which is the auditorium and and uh house back house utility area. Then we move across the building footprint going through the

132
00:38:49.040 --> 00:39:06.560
cafeteria area which we call building D and through over the um what would be the courtyard area which is called building G and into the frontage of the building which is again the classroom area which we've split into or the the

133
00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:23.920
design team is split into three separate parts A, B and C. Um, so a lot of work going on here in the in the rear as you can see. Uh, this back area here is uh we're putting up we're we're putting peers in place in

134
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:41.599
preparation to actually form the foundation walls. There's footings, spread footings all the way throughout and around. So foundation walls will be u materializing as we move uh through the month of May.

135
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:57.520
um another another uh vantage point of the site. Okay. So, VFW Parkway right here or Northshore uh Northshore Road and and VFW Parkway here. Uh the school property uh the

136
00:39:57.520 --> 00:40:13.440
footprint is right here in the northern part or I should say in the upper part of the screen. And we have this large area here is in preparation for the geothermal wells. Um, we've got, uh,

137
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:28.160
this is eventually going to be the baseball field. Uh, as you can see, we're using ample portions of the site for stockpiling, uh, for, uh, fills and so forth. Um, we'll move down into kind

138
00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:45.040
of just some more details of some of the work that's going on on site. Nothing specific, but just generally speaking, you can see, you know, uh reinforcing uh steel being prepped to be placed. Uh you can see foundation

139
00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:59.680
uh foundation spread footings in place with uh with uh reinforcing steel popping up above in in preparation to receive new walls. Um,

140
00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:17.359
another large uh foundational uh uh mat area being uh prepped for uh pour. Um and this again is uh as you can see right here these are this is shoring that we put in uh at the beginning at

141
00:41:17.359 --> 00:41:35.040
the outset and that was again as a strategy to help manage uh the water that uh we currently will be experiencing all the way through this project as we try to perform the uh perform all the site work and foundational work. Another another

142
00:41:35.040 --> 00:41:52.240
viewpoint uh from inside the building footprint looking back towards these peers. These are again you're standing inside the footprint of what will eventually be the gymnasium. Um and then of course this is an example of an actual uh pier uh prior to us

143
00:41:52.240 --> 00:42:07.920
putting all of the uh the formwork around it. So this is your steel uh columns going up approximately 16 ft. So they're pretty high. Um, this is just an example of of a wa of a

144
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:25.680
mockup wall that we uh put in place uh as a way to show uh and get acceptance on the quality of some of the workmanship that will be employed, especially on the viewable areas of the uh of of the uh garage. Um, we wanted

145
00:42:25.680 --> 00:42:40.079
the design team and everybody to see it and make sure that they were happy with the uh finished product uh mockup. Uh, an example of uh our ground improvements. This is um company Menard

146
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:56.240
who works for the site contractor WL French and they're putting in uh ground improvements. Um so as you can see these are all this is an example of us drilling these uh basically these

147
00:42:56.240 --> 00:43:14.560
columns that are drilled uh basically some are shallow and some are deep. And what these are doing is uh helping to improve the structural integrity of the of the uh subterranean levels of the building prior to us uh commencing with

148
00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:30.240
foundations. Uh these go throughout the entire footprint of the slab uh both under the foundations as well as underneath the the actual footprint the building the general footprint of the building the slab. Um and uh they've

149
00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:47.520
been designed by Menard and uh they are as a means to help us mitigate any uh concerns that may come up with regards to settlement. Uh, as everyone knows, we're basically at sea level. So, uh,

150
00:43:47.520 --> 00:44:04.400
we're we're uh we're designing this in a way that helps keep the building uh in the uh stable position at the end of the project and for many many years to come. Another example uh box cover that we're

151
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:20.640
placing around the site uh to ferry uh storm water and such throughout uh throughout the site. uh just more improvements to manage uh the uh the storm water that we uh uh will take on

152
00:44:20.640 --> 00:44:36.079
throughout the the lifetime of this project and and the lifetime of the building in general. Um more site drainage here. Um Nick Rystrom and Chris Chamella I'm sure are

153
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:52.880
interested in these uh picks, but uh they're more than welcome to come out as well as everybody else and view um view our uh progress. Um and that kind of outlines our current uh status of the project as it is. We're

154
00:44:52.880 --> 00:45:07.680
really trucking right along. In fact, we have plans to work uh we worked last Saturday and we're we have plans to work again this Saturday and most likely we'll be working six days a week uh for uh some time as we get ourselves ready

155
00:45:07.680 --> 00:45:27.200
to uh commence steel uh erection in the uh summer. >> Thank you Darren. Any questions, comments on progress? >> Just a question for uh Linda. If we

156
00:45:27.200 --> 00:45:47.839
could get these screenshots updated on the website. >> I can make sure that the uh that left field has uh all these documents, all these pics so that they can and I believe, Linda, that we did send over some uh doc some pics to you last week.

157
00:45:47.839 --> 00:46:02.880
Yeah, I'll follow up with you, Darren. I didn't receive anything yet, so >> Okay. >> Right. Right now, the ones that are on there are more much more detailed. The the drone footage is very effective. >> Okay, fair enough. Yeah, I think that's

158
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:22.000
what I was referring to, but yes, we can get you some more uh drone footage details. Absolutely. >> Thank you. >> Okay, there's no other questions. We'll move it down the agenda. Uh, next is public comment. We have some

159
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:37.760
new and other business after that, but um, we'll go to public comment. Name and address for the record if there is any public comment. Anyone? I don't see hands.

160
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:55.040
Going twice. All right. We will move from public comment agenda item seven to other business eight. I think the only thing to I had note here. Um Dr. Kelly, you wanted to talk about the furniture fair. >> Yeah, just letting uh everybody on the

161
00:46:55.040 --> 00:47:10.480
building committee know that we're going to have a furniture expo um in the East Wing conference room at the high school. Um, and that's going to be on May, well, we're going to start on the 6th, but we're just going to um use that day for

162
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:26.160
kids. And then on the 7th, we'll have um teachers and I wanted to invite everybody on the committee if you can just send me an email on what time you'd like to come anytime during the school day on the 7th. Um we can arrange for somebody to meet you. And um the idea of

163
00:47:26.160 --> 00:47:40.960
the furniture expo is that people can actually sit in the chairs, put their hands on the desks, and uh touch the different products that ultimately we're going to have to decide what we want to fill all these classrooms with. Um and

164
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:59.079
the priority right now for this expo is um student furniture and teacher furniture. There will be, I believe, a couple of pieces from the common areas. Um, but the primary focus is um student and teacher stuff.

165
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:20.800
Thank you. Any other business, new due business from the committee? If not, we would entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to adjurnn. Congratulations everybody. >> Very good.

166
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:29.240
>> You have a good night everybody. >> Thank you all. >> Thank you. >> Date and time. >> Thank you.
