Tony Vierra, TBI Construction, reported that the construction was proceeding on schedule. The roofing was complete, electrical work was underway, the windows were being installed and temporary heat had been set up in Council Chambers to permit finish work. The major thrust was focused on getting utilities to the site. Vierra noted that staff had visited the facility and offered their input. It had been a very productive site visit. I� 4.1.a Consideration of Project Change Order • Southwest Construction Change Order- CONTINGENCY Additional Weatherproofing Vierra explained that the change order request was for the installation of a Grace Ice and water shield at the perimeter of the bottom of the building and at the top of the parapet wall at the mechanical well at a cost of$2692.95. The additional weatherproofing was a recommendation of the Architect. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To forward the request to Council with the recommendation for approval. 4.1.b Discussion of Existing Gas Line to Water District Building Vierra reported that PG&E had surveyed the site and determined that the existing gas line that served the Water District building was too shallow and did not meet the 2005 requirements. Generally, gas lines must be buried a minimum of 24". He reviewed the options available to correct the deficiency. They included: 1) convert the Water District building to electrical heat; 2) run the gas line from the Town Hall building overhead and then bury the connecting line to the District facility; and 3) deepen the existing gas line to meet the requirements. Vierra noted that he believed the shared line was the simplest logistically and would have the least impact on the Town Hall construction timeline. Vierra expected the extended line to cost approximately $9200, to $9500. He would request further clarification from PG&E why the shallow line was being identified as the Town's problem since the original line was installed by PG&E. Following a brief discussion, the Committee agreed by consensus to recommend approval of the shared line and suggested that the cost of the line not be included as part of the New Town Hall budget but be recovered from rent received from the District for the building. Vierra reported that he had received the estimates from PG&E for service to the building. He expected the cost to be approximately $22,000. Because it was an unknown charge, the expense had not been appropriated in the construction budget and it would be charged to the contingency fund. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To forward to the City Council for their consideration with a recommendation for approval of the charges: 1) PG&E costs for service to the new Town Hall of approximately $22,000; and 2) the extended gas line with a shared meter to the Water District building. • 2 January 13,2005 Special City Council Meeting New Town Hall Committee Meeting
