[email protected] Betsy Kane Turner Construction Company [email protected] Meeting Location: Thomas Jefferson High School – Cafeteria Meeting Purpose: Thomas Jefferson High School Project Updates and Discussion. Items of Discussion per the Agenda: 1. Dr. Panza gave an update on Golden Triangle’s work and shared use of the construction entrance with R & B Contracting. Their work on behalf of the water company is progressing along Old Clairton Road and there have been no issues with the shared site. FMG will be providing Golden Triangle a drawing which locates the water vault and allows for coordination with Nello. Post Meeting Turner note: Potential Change Order has been created. Nello will be asked for a credit since they will not be doing this work. 4-12-16 Update: Golden Triangle’s work has reached the district property. They will continue to past Jefferson Elementary and then come back to install the vault and water line across the road. 5-12-16 Update: Golden Triangle will place the vault on 5/16. T. Risley asked whether a formal agreement has been made and documented with Golden Triangle. Response was that there is a formal, executed agreement made and that it is consistent with the bid spec work bid by Nello. Nello was requested to return PCO by 5/19. Post Meeting Note: The vault is installed and Golden Triangle is working on the connection to the water main. 6-16-16 Update: Golden Triangle placed the vault; Water Authority tapped the line. PCO GC-004 for reimbursement of this work is pending corrections from Nello and then will be submitted for Board approval. 7. Dr. Panza provided an overview of the proposed change orders to this point. a. PCO-002, to connect the Main and Administration parking areas with a road and eliminate the retaining wall, is pending. B. Kane provided a rough range of $30,000 to 50,000 which does not include re-grading costs for the hillside, since the extent of what will remain is unknown until later in Phase 2. B. McTiernan advised that Gateway Engineers (Engineers for the borough) would view this as an amendment to the plan. Dr. Panza recommended moving forward by having WTW will prepare a design cost proposal for the Board to consider. G. O’Hare stated that there should be no cost for the design since the group was originally told this was not feasible, and now it is. He said that emergency responders wanted this road from the beginning. B. Kane stated that in trying to keep cost down, the retaining wall was chosen over re-grading, and the Planning Commission did not include a request for a ring road. K. Magill agreed that this would be an addition service for WTW. WTW will furnish a proposal for FMG to design the ring road and the Board can take action. 4-12-16 Update: WTW has agreed to design the Ring Road on a Time and Material basis, Not To Exceed their 3/18/16 proposal of $12,750. 5-12-16 Update: WTW presented the ring road design along with some options for the location of the band trailer parking. The committee selected the option that located one space for the trailer close to the stage entry. WTW needs elevations from the survey that R&B will do next week, and the design must be submitted Item Closed

Items of Discussion per the Agenda:

1. Dr. Panza gave an update on Golden Triangle’s work and shared use of the construction entrance with R & B Contracting. Their work on behalf of the water company is progressing along Old Clairton Road and there have been no issues with the shared site. FMG will be providing Golden Triangle a drawing which locates the water vault and allows for coordination with Nello. Post Meeting Turner note: Potential Change Order has been created. Nello will be asked for a credit since they will not be doing this work.

4-12-16 Update: Golden Triangle’s work has reached the district property. They will continue to past Jefferson Elementary and then come back to install the vault and water line across the road.

5-12-16 Update: Golden Triangle will place the vault on 5/16. T. Risley asked whether a formal agreement has been made and documented with Golden Triangle.

7. Dr. Panza provided an overview of the proposed change orders to this point. a. PCO-002, to connect the Main and Administration parking areas with a road and eliminate the

retaining wall, is pending. B. Kane provided a rough range of $30,000 to 50,000 which does not include re-grading costs for the hillside, since the extent of what will remain is unknown until later in Phase 2. B. McTiernan advised that Gateway Engineers (Engineers for the borough) would view this as an amendment to the plan.

5 Structural Drawing Update to incorporate Request for Information responses

- No Cost Anticipated

- Additional Work Required in Soft Spots PCO GC-006 As directed by GMI; Time & Material tickets verified

- Additional Stone & undercut in Foundations PCO GC-007 As directed by GMI; Time & Material tickets verified

8. R. Snodgrass reported on using an all-terrain vehicle to follow the ‘paper street’ near the western property line from Pearson Road to Gill Hall Road. Using a satellite image, he explained that the terrain is much steeper than it seemed and he could not complete the route. He estimated a 60% grade. D. Pozycki asked why the First Responders are making this request now. Emergency response time is now 9-10 minutes and they wanted a shorter route. It is 8800 lineal feet from Waterman Road to the property line, plus additional footage to the building location. Ryan mentioned that there are other options to explore, including a route from Jefferson Elementary to Rt. 51 on land already owned by the district but it is also steep. D. Pozycki and G. O’Hare asked that this topic be put on hold.

6-16-16: No Update

9. Phase 1 Status

4-12-16 Update: B. Kane report that weather and soft spots continue to hamper Phase 1 progress. Additional testing after the 4th pass was not encouraging and GeoMechanics is requiring passes 5 and 6 on portions of the Lower Level. This will mean that the April 18 date for completion of DDC will not be met. G. O’Hare asked if the contractors were working weekends and 12 hour days. They are working weekends, weather permitting, but Sunday work is not permitted by the Borough. The excavated lower level remains wet for a longer period than did the plateau of the upper level, and until it dries out, work is not possible. With good weather, the May 6 completion day will stand.

Mine grouting is essentially complete on the Upper Level and drilling will begin on the approved sections of the Lower Level next week. This operation is a quick one, and once DDC is complete they will immediately follow. The remainder of R&B’s work is seeding (pending better weather conditions) and final survey.

5-12-16 Update: DDC was completed on 4/22, and drilling started on the Lower Level on 4/25. The total project was to be completed on May 13. Grouting started on the Lower Level on May 5, but on May 11 Turner received word that the quantity listed in the bid documents had been exceeded. Unit price in the contract will be applied to the overage. T. Risley questioned how we could begin negotiations for a week extension (to May 13) and on the eve of that date find out we still had one third of the grout holes yet to be completed. P. Alvi explained the process and uncertainty related to mine grouting. All holes are drilled. Post Meeting Note: Grouting was completed on 5/23; GMI to test four locations.

R. Snodgrass explained that for the first deadline missed, in lieu of assigning Liquidated Damages at $1500/day, the Administration suggested an alternative for work at Jefferson Elementary. R& B agreed to clear, place geotextile fabric, and stone an area outside the library to be used for an outdoor “Reading Rocks” area. Large boulders would be moved to the school from the construction site.

In response to the latest delay, R. Snodgrass obtained a concession from R&B for additional grout to be supplied at $125/CY in lieu of the bid price of $137.50/CY. There are 106 holes that have not reached capacity. R. Snodgrass agreed to do a study as to the differential in liquidated damages vs. reduced price of grout.

Post Meeting Note: It was determined that the overage on grout could exceed $200,000 while the liquidated damages that could be assessed would likely be under $15,000. Final numbers are being calculated but acceptance of the lower grout pricing is in the District’s best interest.

Thomas Jefferson High School WJHSD CC CONSTRUCTION MEETING 03 West Jefferson Hills School District June 16, 2016 WTW Project No. 71-4012

6-16-16 Update: Grouting was completed on 5/28. A Change Order for the extra grout, verification borings, with credit for holes not drilled or grouted is being presented for Board approval. Since its value is $359, 773 it requires PDE approval prior to board vote. WTW has a telephone meeting scheduled to discuss this with PDE. Closeout documents are pending, and retainage is being held. The work at Jefferson Elementary in exchange for contract time extension is complete and satisfactory.

Phase 2 Status

Phase 2 is progressing with Submittals by the Plumbing Contractor and Food Service Contractor more than 50% complete. The General Contractor, HVAC Contractor, and Electrical Contractor have started submittals. L. Payne said a submittal schedule with the items requiring color selection and coordination is due. B Kane has requested this of the contractors, and will remind them at the next meeting of their obligations, but suggested creating a list for the contractors. L. Payne said payment approvals will be held until this is resolved. Colors are needed to coordinate interior and exterior products and have time to present these to the committee for approval.

Phase 2 schedule is in progress and the contractors anticipate a final, agreed upon schedule within 2 weeks. Letters were received from Nello and Kirby stating that foundations could not begin on April 1 as stated in the specifications. B. Kane sent a response stating that without a schedule, it was not possible to see if a later start impacted the milestone dates. Milestone dates can be adjusted if it is shown that the later start does not allow them to be met. At this point, the in-progress schedule shows completion ahead of the 6/1/18 milestone completion date.

6-16-16 Update: Foundations in Area A (Natatorium) started on 6-14. The athletic field and admin parking area have been brought to grade. The permanent retention pond is in progress. An agreed upon schedule has not been signed by all contractors, and Turner will work to achieve a schedule that allows a reasonable accommodation for the delay in turning over the building pad. The approximate delay is 60 days, moving the completion date to July 31, however our goal is to get agreement on a date between July 1 and July 15.

10. R. Snodgrass reported on the costs for a live web cam that provides time lapse and live video. The cost is $4000 plus $3200 for a solar panel and $325 usage fee per month. An example can be viewed at www.workzonecam.com. He noted that at the kickoff meeting, a contractor mentioned litigation over the use of live video on a jobsite during steel erection.

4-12-16 Update: R. Snodgrass reported that the camera arrived 4/12 and he will get it placed asap, initially overlooking the athletics wing. Camera will be linked to the website, which also houses the minutes of the meetings, renderings and still photos of progress thus far.

5-12-16 Update: A telephone pole is needed to mount the camera, batteries and solar panels. Turner included temporary poles in the scope of the Electrical Prime and K. Johnson will arrange the installation.

6-16-16 Update: The camera is up and working. Website is http://newtjhs.com/construction-cam/.

11. The District has been named a finalist in the $10,000 grant from the Allegheny County Conservation District. Mr. Geiger will be working on a plan to be submitted for the final round.

4-12-16 Update: None provided. Post Meeting Note: T. Risley and R. Snodgrass accompanied Tim Schumann of Peters Creek Watershed, John Thatcher, former Allegheny County Conservation District member, Rick Moore, geologist, & Jefferson Hills EAC, and Tom Donohue on a walk from Beam Run up to the school property. They reviewed the areas and projects outlined in the grant and took a look at the options of connecting a trail from the District Property to the Montour Trail.

5-12-16 Post Meeting Update: Mr. Giger was notified by ACCD that WJHSD has been awarded a grant of $5K for the project.

6-16-16 Update: T. Risley noted that the grant would be directed to decks for observation and suggested that the Facilities Committee help with applying for more grants, and getting the students and teachers involved. The Jefferson Borough Advisory Council and the Pleasant Hills Garden Club should also be approached for assistance. R.Snodgrass could take interested parties to visit the site. Coordination with construction would be required.

Thomas Jefferson High School WJHSD CC CONSTRUCTION MEETING 03 West Jefferson Hills School District June 16, 2016 WTW Project No. 71-4012

12. R. McTiernan and M. Hoffman reported on their research and proposed response to the letters received from Nello Construction and Cost Masonry. Both firms objected to the required clearances since their workers do not have contact with students, and based these objections on a case currently in appeal. The solicitor will recommend a course of action to the Board based on specific language in the Prime’s contract with WJHSD. Wheels Mechanical has already submitted all the clearances.

5-12-16 Update: The Board agreed with the Solicitor’s recommendations that the clearance related to “direct contact with students” not be requested until such time as the appellant court rules against the challenge. Clearances for the State Police Act 34 Affidavit will still be required. Turner will inform the contractors at the next PM meeting.

6-16-16 Update: B. Kane said the contractors have been advised of the change in clearance requirements, although some are sending in all clearances (FBI and PA Child Abuse). M. Hoffman did not see a need to return those voluntarily submitted.

13. D. Pozycki brought forth several items that need to be addressed by the committee in the near future. a. A list of items not yet defined (i.e. telecommunications, security etc.) but included in the contract b. A list of items to be supplied by the District (i.e. furniture, fixtures, equipment) and their timing and cost

considerations. Dr. Panza said he and R. Snodgrass have had preliminary discussions, and R. Snodgrass has met with vendors and explained it will be an open bid process with some items coming from the existing school. T. Risley asked if curriculum will drive some discussion and selection and noted the HS principal needs to provide input. J. Hosman noted that while FFE and Technology funds are included as a percentage in the budget shown to the community, things “in the budget” are somewhat discretionary, because existing furniture can be re-used. Dr. Panza said the conversation needs to begin: an order should be placed no later than 1/2018 meaning bids should occur by 9/2017. Post Meeting Turner Note: As WTW has defined most of these items on the contract drawings and Turner has maintained a list of items pulled as FFE during Value Engineering, they will formalize a list. 5-12-16 Update: B. Kane submitted a list of items included in the contracts (A-11 series), and items located on the drawings (A-12 series) but considered FFE. R. Snodgrass added that an inventory of the existing high school will be done to determine the condition of equipment etc. that could be moved, and items may be added to the list. Tom Risley pointed out again that many conversations have been held about matching furniture with curriculum and teachers and that while Ryan's effort is necessary, so is someone else who is looking at the issue from how the 2018 classrooms should be appointed and generating a list of furniture and equipment from needs/requirements. Then match that up with furniture inventory of current high school Ryan has developed. This should be a Facilities Committee function to move forward with.

c. Conflict of Interest – vendor approaches in community. Bids already awarded are the result of a transparent design process, and the Board, Administration and Construction Committee can no longer influence a decision.

d. Items to be Bid – Where should interested parties be directed? Do all items require bidding? Advertising?

e. Addition Board Action Required – Clearly define the CCC role moving forward. What involvement does the committee have regarding the old high school demolition, plans for the District Admin, etc.

f. Facility Committee of the Board – When will the Facility Committee become the replacement for the CCC? C. Bourgeois was in attendance and said she would represent the Facility Committee at future meetings.

g. Bathroom Facility Design – What is WJHSD policy and does the new HS design conform? T. Risley said the current issue of gender identity is a Board issue, but an opportunity exists to get direction before construction is complete. He suggested the Solicitor and Architect be consulted and made the recommendation to fund A/E to look at alternative bathroom and locker room facility design and make recommendations to district. Post Meeting Note: emails have circulated suggesting the Board establish policy on this issue prior to design changes.

6-16-16 Update: Items a-f were discussed. R. Snodgrass said he is working with C. Sefcheck on the inventory of the high school and pointed out that the drawings include furniture layout. T. Risley said he continues to recommend that the Administration develop a list of furniture required for the new school in addition to inventorying the current high school. Then match the list to what will be needed for the new school to fulfill the vision discussed at the start of the project. He said he did not want to see all of the existing

furniture moved, but wanted staff input on the types of seating and desks best suited to the learning atmosphere. The Facilities Committee recommends that the Facilities Committee take this item over and that the CC should be involved. On behalf of the Facilities Committee, C. Bourgeois agreed. Item g was addressed with a discussion on policy, plumbing codes, federal and state positions and the difficulty of incorporating unknowns into a building under construction. M. Hoffman questioned whether there is a ‘building’ solution, as solely providing some gender neutral facilities is not enough. T. Risley stated that a design with all facilities gender neutral would suffice but current county plumbing codes would prohibit changes along those lines. S. Downer asked if the Architect could plan gender neutral facilities, giving WJHSD an idea of what it would take. K. Wilmes said they would need direction on what the intention of policy is, and noted that the example of Pitt’s gender neutral dormitory is a case of residential use vs. public use codes. G. O’Hare asked what the state’s position is, and M. Hoffman said it is evolving. C. Bourgeois said the Facilities Committee wants to wait for the PSBA to complete a policy statement. G. O’Hare said the potential cost of changes should be investigated, and asked WTW for a rough order of magnitude for design costs. M. Hoffman noted that similar to ADA modifications, changes would be required to be incorporated over time as buildings are renovated and brought to existing codes. All agreed that it will be resolved most likely by a School District policy in the future.

19. R. McTiernan informed the committee of the letters received from the Plumber’s Union (to the District) and the lawyer for the Plumbing Prime Contractor (to the Solicitor) objecting to the utility sitework (installation of the Storm, Sanitary and Water Line) being included in the General Construction Contractor’s scope of work as opposed to the Plumber’s. Specs state that if a plumber is required, the GC must utilize one. Another objection was that this violates the Separations Act. The PLA covers jurisdictional disputes, and this is being referred to the Executive Committee meeting, scheduled for Tuesday 5/17, which includes the Building Trades Council representatives, the District representatives and will also be attended by Matt Hoffman/ Tucker Arensburg, and Turner representatives. Post Meeting Note: The Building Trades Council representatives said they were surprised by the letter, as this should have been handled within the framework of the PLA by the Unions involved. They assured Dr. Panza and M. Hoffman that a letter would be issued rescinding the complaint. M. Hoffman sent a letter to Wheels Mechanical’s attorney, Sean Audley, advising him of this position.

6-16-16 Update: M. Hoffman informed the committee Wheels Mechanical filed a preliminary injunction on the basis that the assignment of work violates the Separations Act. A brief hearing on the complaint was held on 6/15 and the court set a hearing for August 17. The Building Trades Council tried to dissuade Wheels, but the PLA is directed to what trade performs the work, not what contractor. Nello is also a party to this action and the Laborers Union may claim the work. At risk is whether or not a portion of the work has to be transferred from Nello to Wheels. Per M. Hoffman, there is no risk of work stoppage or financial impact to the District since this is between District Contractors.

20. PHASE 2 UPDATE

B. Kane reported that the soil from the cuts required is not suitable as fill under the slab on grade due to the pyrite content and a meeting with the contractor is scheduled for May 13. The GC has attempted to find soil on the top of the western ridge, but his position is that moving soil from other than the cut and fill areas shown on drawing C4.0 would be an extra charge. Turner contends that the site is a balanced site but if no material is suitable, there will be a charge to import suitable fill, which is costly. In the best interest of the District and to keep the project moving forward, GeoMechanics should test soil borings in likely non-pyritic areas. Then discussions with the contractor can occur. Post Meeting Note: GMI did 7 borings at the western ridge and 4 borings at the top of the hill where the ring road would be located. Test results are pending. Contractor agreed to work with the District in determining an equitable solution, as some cuts will likely not be required since their soil is not suitable for fill within the building.

6-16-16 Update: WTW issued Modification #4 on the Borrow Site for fill, following testing that indicated it was suitable. Turner issued a Construction Change Directive, which directs Nello to proceed with the work in this modification on a T & M basis until a cost is agreed upon. Turner will monitor tickets on a daily basis until this is resolved.

Thomas Jefferson High School WJHSD CC CONSTRUCTION MEETING 03 West Jefferson Hills School District June 16, 2016 WTW Project No. 71-4012

NEW BUSINESS:

21. L. Payne explained that since the Phase 1 change order exceeded $300,000 due to the additional grout costs, PDE requires PlanCon Part I to be submitted. He has a conference call with PDE rep and will clarify if a submittal is required when future change orders reach $300,000 in aggregate. Post Meeting Note: All future change orders must be submitted to PDE, since the limit was reached. This approval must be given prior to board vote on a change request that is in excess of $19,400 including OCIP and Builders Risk Insurance cost.

22. With the departure of Dr. Panza, Turner requested guidance as to who should be considered the WJHSD Lead

Representative and authority for signature. WJHSD Board will need to identify who has authorization to act on School District’s behalf

23. K. Wilmes presented slides and materials boards to establish a direction for the overall interior finish

selections for the project. The building areas will be zoned according to the following color palettes: Scheme 1: General (Entrances, lobbies, main corridors, administrative offices, media, dining, art, tech, music) Scheme 2A: Academic (lower level) Scheme 2B: Academic (main level) Scheme 2C: Academic (upper level) Scheme 3: Natatorium Scheme 4: Auditorium Scheme 5: District Offices (will closely follow Scheme 1, with potential for different accents/identity if desired) Samples are being gathered from product submittals received from the Prime Contractors so far. For some areas of the building, such as the natatorium and auditorium, samples have not yet been submitted to allow for full development of those palettes. This discussion therefore was primarily focused on Schemes 1 and 2. Each floor of the academic wings will have a different color to help with wayfinding and identity. The Small Group Instruction rooms will act as the threshold to the academic wings, with accent walls and bulkheads. The recessed entry niches to each classroom will also have the accent paint color. Instructional areas were planned to have one accent wall, the main teaching wall, to create focus and interest at the front of the room. J. Hosmer asked about colors conducive to learning and the committee preferred a gray accent wall in all classrooms uniformly, in lieu of an accent color relating to the scheme of the academic wing. Doors will be a maple grain with a dark stain, with a complementary dark HM door frame color that will coordinate with the Ground Face Block and resilient wall base throughout the building. Lockers will be a uniform neutral color throughout the building. Carpet tile selections will be linear patterns in the admin/office areas, with non-linear patterns in the media center to coordinate with the radial furniture layouts. Terrazzo will be a 4-color range of off-white to dark gray; floor patterns drawings were published in the Bid Set documents. Based on feedback from the group, G+P will proceed with the proposed palettes for Scheme 1: General and Scheme 2: Academic Wings. As the remainder of the samples are received, the remaining color palette schemes will be developed. G+P will make another presentation to the CCC once the remaining palettes are developed.

K. Pancoast asked about furniture color. K. Wilmes replied that a consistent color of furniture will allow for flexibility and availability over time.

Action Items:

1. West Jefferson Hills School District: Define CCC role moving forward; Initiate policy on transgender lockers and restrooms; Identify replacement for Dr. Panza for all interim approvals until a new Superintendent is hired.

2. Turner Construction: Obtain PCO’s from GC / EC for Ring Road.

3. WTW Architects: Submit PlanCON Part I, and discuss process for future change orders; Prepare additional interior samples for presentation/ discussion at future meeting.
