Booz 44 PACE 00 ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON POINTED OUT THAT THIS IS NOT A PANACEA, BUT WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED BY MR. KIRSCH OF CONNELL, METCALF & EDDY THAT THIS PERSON WILL HAVE THE ABILITY, KNOWLEDGE AND AUTHORITY TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE APPROVALS FOR THE ARCHITECT. HE FELT IT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO US RIGHT NOW. IF THIS SHOULD NOT WORK OUT, THEN IT WOULD BE THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO ELIMINATE THIS PARTICULAR POSITION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED CONNELL, METCALF & EDDY TO PLACE A QUALIFIED ENGINEER ON THE JOB AS SET OUT IN THE ADMINISTRA- TOR S MEMORANDUM OF JULY 7, 1980. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE HERCULES KONTOULAS ASKED TO BE ON THE AGENDA TODAY TO OBTAIN APPROVAL IN REGARD TO CHANGING SOME WINDOWS. MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT IN OUR BIDDING PROCEDURE, WE HAD AN ALTERNATE BID OF $400 FOR REPLACING SOME OF THE WOOD WINDOW UNITS. THESE ARE 6' X 6` OPENINGS, AND THE UNIT PRICE IS $400 PER OPENING. HE IS ADDRESSING THIS SITUATION AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT IS GETTING TO BE TIME FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO ORDER THESE. MR. KONTOULAS THEN REFERRED TO A DRAWING TO EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD WHICH WOOD WINDOWS HE WAS RECOMMENDING BE REPLACED WITH ALUMINUM UNITS AT THIS TIME. THESE ARE THE FIVE WINDOWS IN THE COMMISSIONS OFFICE COMPLEX. HE DID NOT FEEL THE WINDOWS IN THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OFFICES WERE AS SIGNIFICANT AND NOTED THAT WHATEVER WOOD WINDOWS ARE LEFT, WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT NEW HARDWARE MAY BE NEEDED. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHY WE SHOULD LEAVE ANY WOOD WINDOWS - WHY NOT DO IT RIGHT? CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED WE COULD JUST CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND SEAL THEM, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THIS COULD BE DONE. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT - THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THAT BUILDING WILL HAVE TO BE ON FOR THE ENTIRE TIME THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED. 30
