The building is fully enclosed with doors and plastic sheets over the clerestory windows. As of last week, most of the mechanical and electrical rough-in was nearing completion. Exterior metal siding was to begin soon. Metal roofing was waiting for the temperature to get into the 40s to apply the peal and stick rubber sheet underlayment. The contractor said at the last progress meeting that they will be looking for a time extension due to weather and power not yet to the building. We will assess the time extension request when it arrives, but clearly the project won't be complete by Jan. 15 as stated in the meeting minutes. The contractor will update the schedule at the progress meeting 9am next Tuesday. Any members are welcome to attend. I will be out of town for tomorrow night's meeting, so this is my progress report. Email any questions for me from the meeting and I will reply. Best. Steve Discussion: Change order for $0 would be needed. Will be considered when we receive. Will expect detailed reasons in request. 7) Old Business 8) New Business i) Discussion about releasing the retainage associated with the grant funding (the funding life is coming to an end and we need to get reimbursed.
