.m WILL SERVE TO GET THE WORK STARTED AND THE ARGUMENT WILL BE HANDLED AFTER THE WORK IS COMPLETED. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZE THE SIGNING OF SUCH A LETTER. CHAIRMAN LYONS WISHED IT UNDERSTOOD THE.ARCHITECTS WILL SUPPLY THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL INFORMATION WHEREBY THE CONTRACTOR CAN MEET THE TERMS OF THIS WORK ORDER, AND MR, GRAZIANI AGREED, MR. SNODGRASS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY WILL OBJECT TO THIS ORDER AND ASK FOR ARBITRATION BECAUSE THEY ARE ADDING CONSTRUCTION TO AN EXISTING WALL, AND THEY KNOW IT WON T MAKE A FIRE -RATED WALL IN TOTO. THEY ALSO WOULD HAVE TO OBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NO CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT DOCUMENTS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THE PLANS THE ARCHITECT JUST PRESENTED ARE NOT PART OF THE CONTRACT, BUT ARE DOCUMENTS THEY SENT THE CONTRACTOR TO MAKE A PROPOSAL ON, HE STATED THEY WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THE ORDER COULD BE MADE A LITTLE CLEARER. MR. GRAZIANI STATED THAT THE ORDER WOULD IDENTIFY THE CHANGES BY NUMBER, ETC., AND CHAIRMAN LYONS NOTED IT IS UP TO THE ARCHITECT TO CLARIFY ALL THIS. DISCUSSION AGAIN AROSE ABOUT WHAT WORK IS CONSIDERED ADDI- TIONAL WORK AND WHAT BEARING THE FACT THAT THE CEILINGS WERE EXPOSED PRIOR TO BIDDING MIGHT HAVE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE WISHED THE ARCHITECTS ASSURANCE THAT THE NECESSARY INFORMATION WAS INCORPORATED IN THE LETTER AND THE BACKUP INFORMATION TO INSURE THAT THE CONTRACTOR COULD COMPLETE THE WORK ON THE FIREWALLS AND TO INSURE IT WOULD RESULT IN THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, WITH THE FIREWALL QUESTION BEING COMPLETELY RESOLVED IN ARBITRATION. MR. GRAZIANI BELIEVED WHEN THE WORK ORDER IS ISSUED, THERE WILL BE MORE J NFORMATION. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK DID NOT FEEL WE SHOULD BE IN A POSITION TONIGHT OF DEBATING WHO IS AT FAULT IN THIS SITUATION, BUT FELT WE SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD AND ENABLE US TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. 13 1
