Committee told contractor claims could push completion to early March; project team to review
Summary
Project presenter said the contractor added manpower but submitted a time‑extension claim citing contaminated soils, winter weather and structural steel issues; the project team (design, engineers, OPM) will review the claim and schedule a follow‑up meeting.
Presenter (Speaker 6) informed the committee that the contractor provided a schedule and a claim for additional time. The presenter said the contractor "is still preparing to have the building complete in early March," and that the project team — design, engineers and the owner's project manager — is reviewing the contractor's claim and the details cited for delay.
Staff member (Speaker 1) clarified that while the schedule was received earlier, an official claim for additional time arrived more recently (about mid‑July in the transcript) and the committee agreed it was premature to finalize cost or schedule impacts until the claim and supporting documentation are digested. Speaker 1 also listed the three causes the contractor cited: removal of contaminated or unsuitable soils, weather delays from the past winter, and structural steel issues. The project team said it plans to meet with the contractor as soon as responses are available and will report back to the committee.
