Committee hears construction closeout and contingency update for 1928 project and high school work
Summary
Construction manager and project staff told the Town of Farmington Building Committee that exterior window installation, roof work and HVAC installation are nearly complete on the 1928 project, final plantings and hydroseeding are done, and closeout activity (retainage reductions, final PCOs) is underway; contingencies and outstanding PCOs were reviewed.
Speaker 2 reported exterior window installation on the 1928 project is near completion, roof work continues, major HVAC equipment is set on the gym roof and the generator is installed. He said interior ceiling grids, painting and flooring are progressing and the site around the tennis courts is being buttoned up after recent hydroseeding and plantings. "Everything is going well," he said, and noted the project remains on track to meet schedule.
Construction manager (Speaker 6) said closeout work will be the focus over the next few months, including reducing retainage, processing final change orders and remaining PCOs, and responding to state change orders. He told the committee that responses to state change orders 1–11 had been provided earlier in the summer and that recent state comments were being reviewed.
Speaker 5 provided a contingency and forecast update: owners' contingency reported as just over $1,500,000, the team is forecasting roughly $92,000 in outstanding change orders, and a transfer in the range of $20,000–$50,000 may be needed depending on final accounting. He identified an upcoming, material change order on the agenda tied to an ADA accessible parking spot that would be the largest change order presented that evening.
The chair (Speaker 1) noted a chat update from the owners' representative (Chris) confirming verification of punch list items and completion of closeout documentation. The committee recorded that update for the minutes and directed the financial subcommittee to continue its detailed analysis of change orders before bringing further recommendations back to the full committee.
