I.            Report on Wilson Creek Upgrade

Mr. Danny Ware of Davis and Floyd, Inc. distributed minutes from the monthly progress meeting to the Board.  The contractor is on schedule of the first submitted schedule.  The handout contains photographs of the construction activities.  Commissioner Monaghan inquired if the electricity was hooked up in the construction trailer.  Mr. Ware said the electricity is connected and they are working with Duke Energy on the relocation of electricity to the construction area.  Mr. Ware said the overhead electrical power feeding the plant is going right through the future BNR basin.  The construction plans stated it will need to be relocated; Davis and Floyd, Inc is working with Duke Energy.  Duke Energy will relocate the line and they have given Davis and Floyd, Inc cost options.  Duke Energy has agreed to let the contractor install the duct per the plans and Duke Energy will pull their line through the duct bank.  Duke will supply from the road to the main electrical station.  Duke will permanently maintain that section of line.  The cost for this is $4,000 which Davis and Floyd, Inc feels is a reasonable estimate.  Davis and Floyd, Inc has asked Wharton-Smith for credit for taking the supply feed line out of their part of the construction.  There is a difference in the supply feed line.  Davis and Floyd, Inc had 4 inch conduit and Duke Energy is requiring 6 inch conduit.  They will provide the Board with a contract price change from Wharton-Smith.  Commissioner Watts asked for an update on the concrete cracks at the WAS/RAS building.  Mr. Ware said a letter has been sent to the contractor expressing a need for this to be resolved.  The contractor responded that they did everything in accordance to the plans and specifications.  The contractor does not feel responsible.  Davis and Floyd, Inc has spoken to the concrete specialist and are waiting for a response.  The cracks do not seem to be getting worse.  Davis and Floyd, Inc recommends for Metro to reach an agreement with the Phase 1A contractor and wait until the contractor for Phase 1B is finished before the contractor for Phase 1A repairs the crack. 

 

Commissioner Monaghan made a motion to approve the January 23, 2008 minutes as mailed; Commissioner Hancock seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved.
