LANKSTON Jeff <br /> • <br /> From: HIGGINS Teri L <br /> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 1999 1:09 PM <br /> To: LANKSTON Jeff <br /> Cc: RINER Andrea G <br /> Subject: Policy Mtg <br /> The following two items are very important to me: <br /> 1. Agree on the first $300K of add -backs as base bid items. (although I would continue to refer to soccer lines and track <br /> replacements as alternates - we have until 3/1 to award the soccer lines). <br /> This is very critical, especially if the City list is used. Economy of scale - 30% of the play equipment and 66% of <br /> the structures as alternates will hurt us in the bids. <br /> 2. Agree on a completion date of 10/1/99, without an alternate of 8/1 OR half done by 9/1. <br /> The 8/1 completion date requires that all excavation be completed by 5/15, including a prepared compacted (90 %) <br /> subgrade (without deviations greater than 1 /4 " . All AC must be completed by 6/1 (prior to installing the turf). ALL of <br /> the professional involved with this project agree that the cost of doing construction under this schedule will be in <br /> excess of 500K (as shown on the spreadsheet), requiring over - excavation. <br /> There are already enough alternates in the schedule without fogging it up more. Schedule is everything on this job <br /> - How long can adjoining sprinkler systems be disconnected? (depends, June or August ?). Where will contractor <br /> staging and access be allowed? (depends, April or July ?) How many hours can the crew work? (depends, March - <br /> before day light savings time, or June ?). The list goes on and on... . <br /> Bill insists that #2 is too political and that we must bid an alternate schedule to PROVE the cost. Why did we hire <br /> professionals? <br /> There's a lot of other little stuff but these are the big ones. FINAL plans and specs are due NEXT Thursday so these <br /> decisions need to be made. <br /> Thanks. <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
