Report by DPW

David Guertin reported on and discussed several topics, including:

· Final Major Change Order-FS & T recommended for Stage 2 & Stage 4 plies in the net increase combined amount of $188,084. This is an increase of only 2,370.00 over the original amount. This reflects the changes in items 11 & 12. There was some discussion on the other change orders and what item numbers belonged in what change orders. FS&T to respond and issue documentation on change orders

Joyce Guide moved to approve a change order to AGM in the amount of 188,000. for the stage 2 & stage 4 piles. Ginny Binder seconded and it was so voted 5-0.

· Whydah-David Guertin stated the Whydah has the distinction of being the most difficult to deal with. They are stating they must stay open later than usual due to the fact that the construction on the pier hurt their business. Boston Harbor Cruises sent a letter discussing using a 0seismographic-monitoring device during the next pile driving, which is close proximity to their building. They request the Town pick up the expense, which would be around $7,500. The committee and David discussed how tests had been done by William Zoino that showed that the construction should cause no harm to their building. The general consensus was not to offer any money. It was also discussed that the Whydah is not in compliance with their Chapter 91 license and what could be done about it.

· Concrete Floats- AGM wants the go ahead to order these floats. Committee asked if the floats would cost more than the original price, David answered that AGM thought the floats would have a decrease in the originally price.

· Harbor Master’s Office-David Guertin reported there’s been a “rethinking” of the location of the office. The new suggested site would be at the junction of the ‘T” and the main pier.

· Grantor’s Meeting- November 13 in Boston, could a Building Committee member be present? It remained undecided who was going to attend.

· FS&T- there should be a bill submitted very shortly from FS&T, David pointed out there is still funds available from the original grant money

· Joe Vinagre’s-Joe was given notice of the moving his facility to area bents #70 & #71 on October 15 &16. He was very agreeable to these dates and time.
