UPDATE ON JULIET LONG, GALES FERRY AND BOE CENTRAL OFFICE  
PROJECTS  
Progress Reports/Field Observations  
RECEIVED AND FILED  
Update/Discussion on Roof Projects & Budget Documents  
RESULT:  
2.  
Mr. Donaldson shared that the bulk of the work is complete at Juliet Long School and the switch  
gear is scheduled to ship mid July. The BOE Central Office roof is substantially complete. A  
punch list has been prepared by the Manufacturer but Mr. Donaldson does not believe any work  
has been performed on that punch list.  
Mr. Donaldson shared that Gales Ferry School is basically watertight with a bit of incidental  
work that still needs to be done, trim work and that sort of thing. The Contractor is scheduled to  
walk the punch list with the Manufacturer tomorrow. Once the manufacturer punch list is done  
Mr. Donaldson will work with STV and Silver Petrucelli & Associates on a punch list. Mr.  
Donaldson clarified that the Garland punch list is based on the warranty and how watertight the  
roof is, where our punch list are geared more towards aesthetics. Mr. Donaldson stated he will  
be asking for some additions to the agenda to inspect potential moisture in the insulation because  
of leaks that did occur.  
The Committee reviewed the most recent budget document. Mr. Donaldson added that Gales  
Ferry School is over budget primarily because of additional costs for STV and Silver Petrucelli  
& Associates due to the job running late. Mr. Donaldson stated Juliet Long is well under budget.

Mr. Donaldson stated he did not send a letter but spoke with them on the phone. Chairman Gush  
stated Mr. Donaldson talked to him and offered the difference for what should have been  
covered. Mr. Donaldson confirmed it would be 30% and he has not heard back. Mr. Donaldson
