The Norwich School Building Committee voted unanimously to approve the invoices on the consent agenda and accepted four project change orders during Wednesday’s meeting.

Roll call votes recorded the committee’s unanimous approval of invoice payments (consent agenda). The committee then considered PCOs for Greenville and on-site utility work. The committee approved PCO 9 (mop sinks / wash station work in the nurse’s area) for $6,743 and PCO 17 (layout changes from MEP coordination in an AV/closet area) for $11,311; both were presented and vetted by CSG and design consultants.

Two additional items were approved. PCO 19, an electrical feed for the grinder-pump chamber to power interim wastewater pumping, was approved for $5,320; CSG said the pump and chamber were included in the base GMP but the electrical feed was not. The largest item, PCO 21, was a time-and-materials change order for unforeseen rock removal encountered during sanitary installation; CSG reviewed daily tickets and recommended approval of $169,478 from the site remediation allowance. A committee member who visited the site confirmed the extent of rock work and residents nearby had also raised awareness of that work.

Votes: All motions carried unanimously on roll call. The committee’s recorded roll call showed yes votes from Cindy Beauregard, Stacy Gould, Greg Bellassie, Pete Brocko, Bill Hall, Mark Markoulos, Sheila Hayes and Joe Delucia.

Ending: Staff said PCOs 3 and 4 in the agenda were charged to contingency or allowances as noted; staff will return to the committee if any further owner-cost impacts arise.
