&= nbsp;          I wanted to speak briefly abut something that I'm hopeful that will be consid= ered by this Committee as an addtinal item on the Ag= enda this evening, which would be a change order issued to Supreme, our site contractor on the Swift Middle School Project. This change order would be the additional work necessary to (inaudible) and complete the athletic field ar= ea at Swift = Middle School and prepare it for t= he artifical turf surface that we're anticipating going = out to bid for toward the end of this month. It's pending Planning and Zoning approval, which there is a meeting tonight about. The change ord= er is $483,063.72. Included in this change order is some enhancements that were not originally included in the architect's original proposal. These enhancements include about 3= 00 feet of wooden guardrail needed to be relocated and moved, additional chain= lnik fencing to encompass the field, when we met in t= he design stages we realized that we needed to have some fairway netting to prevent balls from going into the parking lot there is some additional storm drain changes that needed to be put in place. We're also looking for some soccer= goal posts and a portable pitching moudn. The original grass field would not= have needed this portable pitching mound, but with an artificial turf surface we need to have a portable pitching mound.&nb= sp; Also included in this is some additional square footage synthetic tu= rf surface. When we went through= the design phase we realized we needed to make it as large as possible to accommodate baseball and that is included in the change order that's propos= ed this evening by Supreme. What= this effectively means is that the contingency with the project, we'll need to l= ook again at that contingency for about $100,000 for helping to provide for the= se enhancements. Mr. Khericha is= here this evening to talk briefly about the existing status of what our continge= ncy lines are and our allowance lines. It's my belief that those lines are very flush and will get us to the end of the project without any issues and with a signf= iciant chunk of money remaining. If = you like I can turn it over to Mr. Khericha to touch briefly on what remains in those, or you could speak to him at the time of the Swift Proejct, whatever the Committee's preference is.

&= nbsp;          Mr. porter= : To accommodate you we let you spea= k now, and we'll have Mr. Khericha address the contingencies.

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Are there any questions at this ti= me?

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: How many baseball fields are there= ?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: There's one baseball field and one softball field and a soccer, football, field hockey combination, multipurpo= se field. All 3 fields, the main= playing ballfield and the hardball and softball field, = they all overlap, so in essence one sport team at a time.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So you only need one portable moudn?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Correct. Softball doesn't need it.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: There's just one hardball field?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Correct.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So you only need one portable moun= d?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Correct.

&= nbsp;          Mr. LeBlanc: What's the size of that hardball field? Is it sufficient to ha= ve (inaudible) batting through there or playing games through there?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: SUffienct for?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LeBlanc: Long fly balls and sstuff like that.

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: From home plate to right field fen= ce is about 255, 260 feet. That wouldn't have been significantly different whether we did artificxial turf or natural gas. In either case it would be a shallopw right field. As for softball, it's just the opposite, it's left field I think that's suffici= ent for softball.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So the hardball field is going to = have a fence around the whole thing?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: The entire perimeter, the entire multipurpose complex is going to be fenced in.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: That would b = epart of the outfield fence for the baseball fields?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Correc,t the fence is in essence what is preventing p= eople from coming in and out of complex.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: Basically (ia= nduibel) same thing?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Similar, yes.

&= nbsp;          Mr. LeBlanc: You're suggesting this $400,000 co= me out of the continency fund?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: No, we received obviously a grant = for $600,000 and at a prevous Public Buildings Comm= ittee meeting we had talked about approximately $200,000 making up the difference= for what was remaining in the original budget by Kaestle Boos, so what in eseence we're talking about tonight is an additional $100,000 to complete the field with the added enhancements.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Porter: It's not $483,000 that we're looki= ng for?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: No. In the $483,000, part of that is being covered by the grant and the original change orders.

&= nbsp;          Mr. LeBlancs: We have about $130,000 left over?<= /p>

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: The original proposal that Kaestle= Boos brought to the Town Council was about $790,000. To complete the field with the add= ed enhancements, we think we're going to need an additional $100,000, that would come out of the project contingency. The number that I mentioned earlie= r, the $483,000 that is the change order to do the necessary site work to prep the gravel, the under drainage, the conduit for future lighting if the Town so chooses, all that work, the additional enhancements I mentioned will all be done within that project budget.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Porter: The original documents called for = us to do a grass field, but we went from grass to turf.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: We have $600,000 to do it . . . . = and the grant was $600,000?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Corect= .

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So on top of that Tod, how muc more are we using?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: On top of that is approximately $3= 00,000 and at a previous meeting at both the Board of Education I think had come e= re and spoken briefly, that $200,000 was already designated out of the project contingency to go towards this and I believe that's in the monthly report, = if I'm correct. That's already accounted for in our project.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Ceniccola:: So what's the $483,000?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: The $483,000 is a change order to Supreme, the existing site contractor, to prep, do all the under drainage, = do all the gravel layers that are necessary for the artificial turf surface, b= ut that was work we knew up front we had to have done.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So just the turf and the labor to install the turf that was what the $600,000 grant was for? It wasn't for the drainage and the= prep and all that?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: We had a $600,000 grant that in es= sence we knew would not cover te<= /span> entire cost of putting in a turf field at Swift Middle School= . What we had is our estimate was $790,000. $600,000 of that $7= 90,000 is from the grant. With the additional enhancements we realize now that we need more like $890,000.

&= nbsp;          Mr. Demirs: So the extra $100,000 is coming ou= t of the contingency fund?

&= nbsp;          Mr. LoFrese: Correct, and what we're asking for approval here tonight is change order to Supreme for a portion of that $890= ,000 allotment. Any other questions? Thank you f= or allowing me this opportunity in advance; I appreciate it. Have a good evening.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: Has the fllor= been filled with epoxy? Where= the cracks were? I the main bay, where the fire trucks go.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: They filled those cracks with the material that the manufactuter recommended, inc= luded calking and (inadubel) the special material to = fill the cracks.

=             &nb= sp;            =           Mr. Demirs: In the apparatus room also?

=             &nb= sp;            =           Mr. Khericha: Yes.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: Is there any warranty on that? Is the Town getting any warranty o= r any coverage on those cracxks that are in the floor= ? In toher words, 2 or 3 years down the road, if that floor opens up again?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: I think the f= llor itself, if I'm not mistaken, has a 5 year warranty on it.

=             &nb= sp;            =           Mr. Demirs: The full floor has a 5 year warran= ty on it?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: Yes, and we did meet the manufactu= rer at the site becaue those are not structural cracks= .

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: That's fine, but that's a lot of w= eight on that floor over there, and down the road if something does happen to that floor, it's going to cost the Town a lot of money to fix it.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: They do kind of floor cracks all t= he time, so we did meet with them, and how those cracks happened, that’s naturally (inaudible) so it's (iandubiel) crack= , it's not structural cracks.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: Right, but all I'm concerned with = is all the weight of the fire trucks on that floor. I mean year after year after year they're parked there and in the Winter they go o= ut they carry salt, they carry material, I mean this epoxy is all repellent to that stuff?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: I think it's too bad, if you had n= oticed how it was prepped, the whole thing, it's a process, because they understand how those cra ks ar= e there and what it's used for. In fa= ct the same concern was raised by a couple of the Chief's committee, and they met = the contractor on the site to question him, and he said he's not worried about = it, they do it all the time.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: So it should be all right?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: Yes.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: 10 years down the road . . . . warranty for 5 years . . . . if somethibg would appen you= woldn't see it in 5 years, so if it had to be repaire= d . . . . within 5 years they'll repair it.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: It's part of the warranty.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: I was ust concened with that, I mean it's a legitimate concern, that's a lot of weight sitting on that floor, it's there and you're getting salt from the road during the winter and it goes on there, cause I know salt goes on concrete and it yurns it white and it l= ifts the surface off it, you know what I mean?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: (Inaudible.)

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: So I was concerned about that. The apparatus room was all done al= so, cause there was a crack there also.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Porter: In the old bay?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: No, in the new part.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: Yea there were cracks on the new s= ide too, but the reason is, assuming there is a structural slab under it, and t= hen there is topping on it, so if there's a crack to the surface in topping, it= 's not going to . . . .

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: How thick is the whole thing?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: I think the structural slab is 8 i= nches.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: What's on top of that?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: It's a concrete topping.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: Which is how thick?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: I believe it's= 4 inches.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: What is that epoxy stuff?

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Khericha: It's like a 3 part system. They shot blot the surface, seal <= span class=3DSpellE>thewhole surface, and it's like a 3 part system. They put in one coat, two coats, t= hree coats, and it's a flooroing system they do, it's called resilous floor, the top floor is epoxy, = they mix sand in it to get the roughness.

            &n= bsp;            = ;           Mr. Demirs: So it's not slippery.
