Remember the "rumor" that Josephine Posti addressed on her Center Court blog? http://jposti.blogspot.com/#!/2012/08/project-on-schedule-and-on-budget.html There has been speculation in the community since discussions first began with the change order for Geofoam.
So tonight, there will be a discussion about the seven change orders listed on the agenda. For some reason, the School District is only counting five towards the construction.
We now have a need for retaining walls, Geofoam, pyrite remediation, repairs to utility line conflicts, to name just a few of the change orders needed.
Back in October 2005, architects Burt Hill Kosar Rittelman Associates alerted school board directors of the unstable soil on the site. Mt. Lebanon Pool cost up again; now $6.5 million Knowing this, would Celli Flynn design a building on unstable soil? Is it poor workmanship? Nello built our Public Safety Building. Ask our police and firemen about the condition of the building. Or is it the school board directors? Remember this cost savings worksheet? Potential Project Cost Savings Worksheet Look at what was eliminated. Does the Board have the luxury to cherry pick from a list as to what should be eliminated? Doesn't one change affect others?
Didn't the Board waive contractors' insurance as a cost reduction? If that is the case, then there is no hope for reimbursement from insurance.
