1996-07-15ELEMENTARy FACILITY BUILDING COMMISSION MINUTES
A meeting of the Elementary Facilities Building Commission was held on Monday, July
15, 1996 at 12:00 noon at the Mayor's office in City Hall. Present were Mike Lauranzano,
Nancy Levin, Judy Mulligan, Rod Maxner, Mayor ScanIon, Marshall Handly, and Jeanne
Kuespert of ERF+A.
Jeanne K. handed out an agenda. She asked if ERF+A could submit a CAD disk to
Cummings to insure that the new plot will not affect the siting of the building. Marshall
H. said it would be OK. Marshall is continuing to research the deed for the North Beverly
school.
Jearme K. handed out a proposed schedule for bidding and construction of the new school.
An alternate date for beginning of construction of March 1997 was considered. Marshall
recommends the bidding documents contain two options: completion within 395 days of
execution of contract and alternate 1: start date up to the contractor but completion by June
1, 1998. Marshall is still reviewing the general conditions of the bid.
Judy and Rod spoke about their concerns with the specifications for rubber membrane
roofs on all the schools. Due to vandalism issues on the single story schools they would
like to be sure that the roofing material chosen will stand up to expected abuse. They
discussed the cold applied process provided by Tremco. Other roofing systems and
manufacturers were discussed. It was decided to go with the specified rubber membrane
roof on the new school but to do more research before the other schools are put out to bid.
Proposals were submitted for design of the irrigation system at the new school. Mike L.
made a motion, seconded by Nancy to award the bid to Day's Lanscaping, Inc. Voted 2-0.
Jeanne will cclarify any questions the bidder may have regarding electro-mechanical
issues.
The Mayor is still undecided about hiring a project manager. There was discussion about
the clerk of the works position. The purchasing officer position has been advertised.
ERF+A gave Judy a list of names to call regarding quotes for the independent structural
review.
The Building Commission will hold its next meeting on Monday, August 5, 1996 at 12:00
noon in the Mayor's office.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith A. Mulligan
Secretary/Clerk
