1. Q: Will the project be completed on time?
A: Yes, but it will probably require "premium" hours to do it.
2. Q: Premium time will be additional change orders?
A: Yes.
3. Q: Have you evaluated the dirt that you are going to find underneath the pool?

4: Q: Does it look like there are any winterization issues coming up?
A: Yes.
5: Q: That'll be change orders?
A: We're talking to Nello about that, but there's a good possibility.
A: Yes.

What's secrets is Dan Remely referring to when he says on advice of counsel that they don't bring them up publicly? "I spent about an hour or so going over all of these with Mr. Berkobile and Mr. Marciniak. Although I still have questions on a couple - nothing out of the ordinary. I'm comfortable with them as they stand. There are some concerns with a couple of them, but: issues that we don't necessarily bring up here on advice of counsel."
And that haven't even begun demolishing building C yet.
When the ground is uncovered there expect to see beaucoup change orders for the tennis courts.
The board in its collective wisdom to escape a referendumassumed all responsibilty for spill problems under C.
Goes come there was no explanation for the additional heat exchanger for the pool in the update?
Not one director asked either!
To 8:11 p.m.
If I had to guess on Mr. Remely's comment it would be that the solicitor is exploring possible legal action against one or more of the contractors and does not want one of the School Board Directors saying something that could adversely impact the claim. I have no knowledge regarding the basis of any such claim, but attorneys will often instruct their clients not to make public statements about matters that are soon headed for litigation.
Remember--when this project heads south--and it is--each and every board member can be held personally financially liable. They don't get immunity in this case. The beautiful part is, those morons have already built a record. Thanks, school board!
10:51 AM - Well said by a helpful attorney, methinks.
Thinking the same thing 10:51, one wouldn't expect them to play their hand prematurely.
We'll see what happens at the end.
I think Dale, James, and Faith would be exempt. They voted No at the Act 34 Hearing. Or is it current members, including the new members?

Remember how Nello was $8 million cheaper than the next lowest bidder? They saved the project by keeping it under the referendum. Then board member Alan Silhol and Dan Remely worked together using the $110 number as their backstop in order to avoid referendum. And now we have change orders galore.

Good point, Elaine.
Was the expectation to change order this project back to more profit for Nello.
Some of these change orders really seem odd.
Don't ever forget that Eddie, Elaine, Dan, Larry, Mary, Cooper and Jo stopped just shy of promising the renovation would come in substantially under $100,000,000.
That train left the station long ago and suspiciouslysounds like another governing body's promise that the community pool would only be $3.3 million and turf will be under $1 million.
