The sheetrock installation is complete with emphasis now on
repairing, priming and preparation for final coat of paint.
The majority of the ceiling grid is in place. Lighting
fixtures are approximately 90% completed. The countertops
in the kitchen and collection department rooms are
installed. The weather has been a factor in completing the
roof parapet and EIFS system, but they are over 95%
complete. Pay request numbers 7 & 8 are being held until a
revised construction schedule from the contractor has been
received. During the next two weeks the contractor hopes to
finish painting the walls, have the floor covering complete
except for carpeted areas. The contractor hopes to start
installing the tack wall and folding partition in the
Commission Room and Training Room. There was some
discussion on change order ‘e” as listed on the report from
Mr. Moore. Some of the Commissioners are under the
impression the change order has been approved. Per the

making some headway, but the weather has been a factor. The
City Pond project is about 25% complete. The contractor for

Action Items
a.
Ratify Change of Chemical Supplier
Mr. Peeler explained to the
Commission the need and reason why Metro wants to change the
supplier of Magnesium Slurry. The recommendedvendor for
this product is Brenntag and Metro has used their product
before with success. Chairman Haynie inquired if Metro
asked for a sample of the products when soliciting bids.
Mr. Peeler said Metro did receive samples and no problems
were discovered while using the samples. Metro has tried to
work with the supplier. It is the recommendation of staff
to remove the current supplier from the bid listing.

motion to change the chemical supplier for Magnesium Slurry
to Brenntag; Commissioner Hancock seconded, and the motion
was unanimously approved.
