It was noted that Ben Heintz will be the Owner’s Representative during the construction phase. The following administrative requirements were reviewed: • Bids are due on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013 at 3:00 PM in the Board Room. Due to the delay in receiving SED

approval, and the timing of the Bid Opening, a bid extension is not envisioned at this time. • C. Crolius requested that all questions be faxed to MARCH Associates by Noon on Wednesday, 6/26/13.

An addendum will be issued on Thursday, 6/27/13. Questions received after that time will not be able to be answered. MARCH Associates’ Fax Number is 315.733.3331.

• To make arrangements to visit the site after today, call Randy Rundle at 315.557.2682 or Ben Heintz at

315.507.1322. • Contracts will be awarded at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, July 9th. • C. Crolius reviewed the allowances and unit prices in each of the contracts. • It was noted that the undercutting unit price in the Sitework Contract carries a quantity. The amount will

be clarified by addendum. It was also noted that the track resurfacing alternate is all or nothing. If the alternate is not awarded there is no work associated with the track.

MARCH #1292 Pre-Bid Mtg Minutes/Pg. 1

mailto:[email protected]



















• C. Crolius advised the contractors to carefully review the Summary of Work and reviewed the anticipated completion dates for various contracts.

• It was noted that pavement cores were performed by CME. This information will be sent out with the

addendum for use by the contractors. • C. Crolius noted that there is asbestos abatement shown on the second floor of the High School that is not

required and will be deleted by addendum. • C. Crolius indicated that Masonry Restoration, Roofing, and General Construction all have asbestos

abatement responsibilities contained within their Contracts. • C. Crolius noted that the playscape will be purchased by Westmoreland Central School District under State

Contract; to be received and installed by the Sitework Construction Contract. • Outlined below are the architect’s budgets for the various bid packages:

- Masonry Restoration ............................... $65,000 - Roofing Construction ......................... $1,000,000 - General Construction ............................ $100,000 - Sitework Construction ........................ $1,500,000 - Electrical Construction ............................ $30,000

• T. Bonaparte indicated that there are wetlands and work required in a wet swale. Contractors will need to protect the adjacent sanitary field and work closely and carefully in this area.

• T. Bonaparte noted that there is some debris in the area of the Elementary School drop-off. Contractors

should anticipate some undercutting in this area, which is not included in the 750 CY contained in the unit price. C. Crolius noted that if an excessive amount of material is found this will be reviewed and there are mechanisms within the contract documents to address unforeseen conditions.

• T. Bonaparte indicated that a DOT Permit is required. Discussions have been held with the DOT already. • It was noted that demo of the existing electrical bases and poles will be added by addendum. • This concluded the formal portion of the meeting, at which time the meeting was opened up for questions. Question: Do the contract documents contain the Owner’s OCP Policy for each contract? Response: C. Crolius noted that he believed it did. Contractors should carefully review the Supplementary

Conditions for Insurance requirements, This concluded the pre-bid meeting, at which time a tour of the work areas was conducted.
