The minutes of the June 9, 2021 meetings were reviewed. These will be decided
upon in the afternoon approval session.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. John Boozer, Project
Manager, was present to provide information on the following actions for the Court
Facilities Improvement Project: change order #84 for milling and overlaying is a
PennDOT requirement since we made a number of cuts in the street. This was not
anticipated in the budget; change order #87 is required by code officials to go to a higher
fire rated system and will paint it to match room interiors and this is a code requirement
adaptation; Amendment #007 with Noelker and Hull is customary if added work requires
the architects do additional drawings or spec work. It is part of their contract and Mr.
Hart negotiated it down from 10% to 7.5%. Commissioner Flannery said that he is
struggling with this action; if we decide we want to put a more expensive façade on the
outside they will make an additional 7.5%. Mr. Boozer responded that this does cause
considerable additional work and they do spend time on every change on our behalf.
Chairman Keller said with the initial design and floor plans of the courthouse, out of
budgetary concerns, they were asked to do additional work to rework that design and
bring it into the confines of the budget. It was substantial additional work. It is
.
Chairman Keller responded that when we solicited proposals for this project,
percentages were the standard for a project of this size. The items will be decided upon
in the afternoon approval session.
