Finance Committee — 09/01/2021 Page 6
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you. | can agree we have to delay it. That’s understandable. This can also change. It is fluid no pun intended
because of transportation costs. You could come back at a later date because where this project is technically delayed
right now, nobody can anticipate the transportation costs in the future and now. So that may be a change order number
three with this project.
Sarah Marchant, Community Development Director
That is correct. We will be expecting to come back to you probably in January/February with the updates for those as well
as material changes. As we all know, materials have fluctuated significantly and so we did not want — normally we would
come forward and say we want everything right now and let’s make sure we have all the numbers. Contractors, retailers,
providers are not willing to provide pricing that | feel is competitive in any way at this point. They’re basing it on the
highest it is now and an escalator. So from everything we've talked to and all our consultants, we believe pricing is much
likely to be more stable and better by next January/February so we will come back at that time with the rest of this.
Chairman Klee

ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. Yes I’m not sure that the person that could answer it was able to make it to the meeting tonight. | had
questions about the payment to Corolla regarding a contract we have for 14 Court Street roof replacement. Is there
anyone here that can talk to the scope of that and whether it’s the whole roof?
Chairman Klee
| don’t believe there is anybody here. Treasurer Fredette would not be able to answer that specific thing to the contract.
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Good evening. So Alderwoman Lu had asked this question earlier today of CFO Griffin and | believe we provided a
response via e-mail. The contract with Corolla is for the full roof. We are still in the middle of the project so one payment
has been made to Corolla but they are just beginning second phase of the project. So we do expect additional costs.
