RESOLVED, that the sum of $550,000 is herby appropriated and added to the following account: Z6801792 59550 25110 for the Hamilton Avenue School Reconstruction. Said appropriation to come from the Capital and Non-Recurring Fund and is subject to approval by the Board of Estimate and Taxation at its special meeting on January 14, 2008.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
The Hamilton Avenue School Building Committee is requesting an additional appropriation of $550,000 to complete construction of the new Hamilton Avenue School.
This request is being driven not by construction cost overruns , but by costs driven by the failure to have the school completed in July 2007 per contract. Our Architects contract called for all their work to be completed by August 1, 2007 with the exception of closeout documents. Our Project Managers contract was completed in August of 2007. Both the Project Managers and Architect’s contracts have been extended to June 2008 . We have also hired URS Corporation as a consultant to review the schedule and work on problem solving. Our inspection service contracts have expired and we will need a small amount of money to complete inspections. The General Contractor has refused to pay for temporary heat, so the building committee voted to buy fuel to keep the project moving through this winter.
The following is a summary of the money appropriated to date for this project.
2004-2005 Budget Year $3,410,000.00
2005-2006 Budget Year $23,700,000.00
2006-2007 Budget Year $1,800,000.00
Interim June 2007 $545,000.00
Total $29,455,000.00
Our present budget projection to complete the project
Available funds on 12-7-07 $345,919.00
Change Order # 9 Worth Construction $44,102.00
Change Order #9 Swanke Hayden 56,173.00
Change Order #5 PinnacleOne 100,000.00
Total $200,275.00
___________
Balance on 12-11-2007 $145,644.00
Estimated costs to complete
Security changes requested by the Board of Education $75,000.00
Worth Pending Change Orders 70,000.00
Projected Worth change orders to end of project
$3,000,000 x 3.8% 105,000.00
Project Manager 4 months @ $25,000.00 100,000.00
Architect 3 months @ $32,000.00 96,000.00
URS Corporation 2 months @ $38,000.00 76,000.00
Fuel 4 months @ $10,000.00 40,000.00
___________
Total Estimated costs $562,000.00
Less balance in account 145,644.00
__________
Amount required $416,356.00
Contingency 133,644.00
__________
Total Request $550,000.00
Normal contingencies on a project this size, are 10% of construction costs, in this case that would be approximately 2,300,000 dollars. Our original contingency was $800,000, with the previous interim appropriation of $545,000 and with this request of $550,000 the contingencies fund would be $1,895,000.
Change orders to the contractor to date have been $729,538, with and estimated $175,000 in change orders to complete the project, the total in change orders would be $904,538 or 3.85% of the original contract cost, a very reasonable number.
Starting in November of 2007 and projecting to the end of the project, our cost for Architects, Project Manager, Consultants and inspection and fuel will total $468,000.00
At this point the school is approximately 85% complete and Worth’s present schedule show completion to be the end of March 2008. URS Corporation has developed a schedule that shows a completion date by June, the committee feels that is probably the more realistic date. This has been a most difficult job in many ways, but it is getting toward the end, and this additional money will give us the resources to push the job to completion.

RESOLVED, that the sum of $750,000.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated to be added to Account Number A140-51400, Professional and Other Special Services -
Attorneys.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
This request is for an additional appropriation of $750,000.00 to meet attorneys fees for outside counsel through the end of the fiscal year. We are now defending several complex matters which involve multiple counsel. In some instances, we are mandated to bring in outside counsel because of the conflicts involving the defendants that we represent. In other instances, I have chosen to bring in outside counsel because of the complexity of the matter or the specific expertise needed. In the last fiscal year, we were successful in recovering $350,000.00 of monies spent for outside counsel from our insurance carrier. These funds are returned, not to this line item, but to the General Fund of the Town of Greenwich. To date, we have been successful in recovering $156,000.00 which has been
returned to the General Fund. I anticipate recovering significant additional funds during this fiscal year.
