In
Out
2:44
Yeah.
In
Out
2:45
So, okay, general business.
In
Out
2:50
Discussion regarding the awarding of a bid for Encore Pavement sidewalk rehabilitation services to one of the following bidders: Pawtucket Hutton Asphalt Incorporated, J.H.
In
Out
3:03
Linson Sons Incorporated, or Tasco Construction Incorporated.
In
Out
3:07
Yep.
In
Out
3:11
So, uh, Mr.
In
Out
3:12
Chair, at the last meeting, um, the board asked me to just kind of confirm with the, uh, the contractors to see if there was a deadline that they could meet.
In
Out
3:21
So, uh, we did contact all 3.
In
Out
3:23
Uh, the highest bidder has not gotten back to us.
In
Out
3:26
We actually just received word back today from Pawtucket Hot Mix just a couple of minutes ago, so I'll give that to you.
In
Out
3:34
Mr. Cabral did speak to Lynch.
In
Out
3:37
So my understanding is that Lynch is committing to being able to start prior to July and then also finish the projects by August, the end of August.
In
Out
3:49
What you'll see here is that Pawtucket Hot Mix has committed to doing north of 44 in— by starting by June.
In
Out
3:58
Ending it in August, but then staggering the, uh, the work south of 44 for Arcade, which would be, uh, 3 weeks later until mid-July.
In
Out
4:12
I'm sorry, approximately 2 months later in mid-September.
In
Out
4:21
Good evening.
In
Out
4:26
Good evening.
In
Out
4:32
Was that accurate?
In
Out
4:34
I did reach out to Lynch.
In
Out
4:35
Did you mention that they would be able to accommodate the schedule by the end?
In
Out
4:38
Yeah, can you, can you just talk about the specific timelines on Lynch?
In
Out
4:41
So I, um, spoke with Lynch.
In
Out
4:43
I talked to their, um, chief estimator who actually worked on the proposal with the field guy that did measurements.
In
Out
4:50
So they were actually out in town doing measurements out there.
In
Out
4:53
Uh, he did indicate to me that they, um, provided notification is received by tomorrow The contract paperwork would be executed the following week and they would begin breaking ground by the end of June.
In
Out
5:04
That would be their plan.
In
Out
5:06
Begin date would be the end of June.
In
Out
5:07
They said by 6/29/2026.
In
Out
5:10
Definitive end date, the end of August.
In
Out
5:13
And Lynch would commit to the schedule and conditions of the bid documents.
In
Out
5:25
Have you seen the one from Pawtucket?
In
Out
5:26
No, I actually got a copy from them.
In
Out
5:27
No, but I did I did catch the discussion from Mr. Cadime, so I heard what that was.
In
Out
5:35
Thank you.
In
Out
5:42
So where we would like to get all of Arcade Avenue done before school, certainly the real important part is the north section, right?
In
Out
5:52
Mm-hmm.
In
Out
5:54
All right.
In
Out
5:55
Oh, I know, I drew a blank.
In
Out
6:02
I knew I wanted to say something.
In
Out
6:03
I couldn't remember what it was.
In
Out
6:05
So the only— I know.
In
Out
6:08
So one of the things I did want to recommend to the board that we would probably make a change or modification to the contract.
In
Out
6:15
So typically in the contracts, we say that the work will be completed by November, which is essentially the ending end of the paving season.
In
Out
6:22
So in this particular instance, we would scratch that out, make sure whichever bidder it is that we put in the deadline that we, we want just not to extend it to November.
In
Out
6:34
And I don't think there's any issues with there.
In
Out
6:37
I, I would just— committing to the work by that date is fine, but there's usually some incidental work that you wouldn't necessarily want to hold to.
In
Out
6:45
Yeah, we can, we can modify the language.
In
Out
6:46
I'll work with you to make sure that we got it to where we need to be.
In
Out
6:49
And I think to some extent the bid document kind of speaks to itself for trying to make that commitment happen by that date.
In
Out
6:55
And so the highest bidder did not get back to you?
In
Out
6:59
Correct.
In
Out
7:05
Any comments?
In
Out
7:06
I know what my motion would be.
In
Out
7:09
I stand with what I voted on last time.
In
Out
7:13
Okay, Michael.
In
Out
7:16
I agree with Chris.
In
Out
7:17
I'm staying with my vote and my decision from the last time.
In
Out
7:23
Based upon, well, actually based upon all the reading we had the opportunity to have.
In
Out
7:26
Right here?
In
Out
7:27
This is the memo?
In
Out
7:28
Yeah, yeah, that knowledge of paperwork right there.
In
Out
7:31
Okay.
In
Out
7:33
Just looking at the response to the question was asked to them about how they're going to stagger it and stuff like that.
In
Out
7:39
I— where we can get one company come in, start it, get it done by the end of August, that's going to be my vote.
In
Out
7:44
Now I'm going to stand by my original decision.
In
Out
7:46
So, okay, I did go through quite a bit of this, um, and this is a little more than what they did for the first— for the Anthony Street job.
In
Out
7:59
From what I could gather from the emails and all the information was the contract says that the contractor has to come up with a schedule 10 days from signing, the signing of the contract, and they never did that.
In
Out
8:14
So this is better.
In
Out
8:15
If we could, if they could, you know, maybe tighten this up a little and come up with concrete dates, that would be even better.
In
Out
8:23
The other thing that was concerning for me that I think speaks more directly to the problems that came along with that job was the contract called for a superintendent to be on site from Pawtucket, and there wasn't one.
In
Out
8:40
And I think had there been a superintendent on site, maybe some of the issues wouldn't have happened, or at least somebody would have been in charge.
In
Out
8:52
It almost appears that the contract was signed and then it was like nobody really there wasn't anybody overseeing, making sure that all the terms of the contract were being met.
In
Out
9:04
I think the lack of a superintendent was unacceptable, but by allowing the job to start and continue, it's almost like we waived that clause of the contract because we allowed it to happen.
In
Out
9:17
So, um, that, that was something that was concerning to me because Um, I, I can't— for, you know, I can't— I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm wondering how much of what happened on Anthony Street could have been avoided had there been a superintendent from Pawtucket on site.
In
Out
9:35
Yeah, I think that the son— yeah, the owner's son was the project manager, but I think he was only there for a week and then he ended up never showing up again, right?
In
Out
9:42
Yeah.
In
Out
9:43
So yeah, it was a concern, especially with this project with the sidewalks.
In
Out
9:47
Okay, I, I mentioned before, I know the overlay job they've done in the past without a lot of supervision either.
In
Out
9:52
They generally do not have the supervision needed, okay?
In
Out
9:56
In this particular job, they had subs working out there with no one from Protected Hot Mix asking questions that should have been answered and addressed by Protected Hot Mix.
In
Out
10:06
You have their subcontractor doing the curbing work asking questions about what are we using for curbing, how are we laying this out.
In
Out
10:13
That's not on us.
In
Out
10:14
That's— you sold the job, you had the opportunity We had concerns early on.
In
Out
10:18
We actually started even looking at the contract language to see how we could get out of here, but— and then it caused it to be very handled very inefficiently, even to the point that I brought in an engineer.
In
Out
10:29
I never brought an engineer in to oversee a paving job before.
In
Out
10:33
So early on, we started seeing problems.
In
Out
10:36
We saw the schedule starting to slide.
In
Out
10:38
And just so the board is aware, we knew to contact them in February to make sure we got on the schedule early.
In
Out
10:45
We went out of our way, had a meeting early in the season to discuss this project in particular, to make sure we hit the ground running last year.
In
Out
10:54
Because the game plan last year, by the way, too, was not only to do Anthony Street— get Anthony Street done before school let out and shift over to Arcade Avenue North to get that portion done while school was in recess.
In
Out
11:08
So we worked diligently with them at the beginning.
In
Out
11:11
And at the end of the day, they, in my opinion, were spread out too thin.
In
Out
11:15
They had other work going on.
In
Out
11:17
There was never anyone here to oversee this project at a project management level to answer anybody's questions.
In
Out
11:22
But, but we have— by signing the contract, we have a duty to make sure that the con— that the conditions and terms of the contract are being met.
In
Out
11:31
So if we're not— if the town or the board isn't made aware of it at the time then it's like playing Monday morning quarterback.
In
Out
11:42
And that's where I think we did have a responsibility to make sure that the, the terms of the contract were being met.
In
Out
11:48
And by a super maybe showing up for a week and then not appearing anywhere else, something should have been or could have been done about that.
In
Out
11:56
There was some early notification, and I'll tell you, it was June, the end of June, where I was actually on vacation, and because of all the, you know, I read the emails, empty promises that were made, right, leading you to believe that they're going to show up, they're going to show up, a little bit of weather, and then just week after week didn't appear here.
In
Out
12:13
We notified and had discussions early on by June, like, what are we doing with these guys?
In
Out
12:18
And later on down the road, we did pull them in, and they, you know, by that point they started doing work, but then they left 3 weeks at a time with just a sub out there working on sidewalks.
In
Out
12:29
So it— I've been 19 years working here, and I've been overseeing a lot of these roadway projects.
In
Out
12:36
This one here by far was the worst of them having coverage.
In
Out
12:40
And in my opinion, it was more notable that they were just not here because they were just— there was no one around.
In
Out
12:45
Even with the crew, I mean, some of the emails you see in there too, even the crew working there were doing damage to things like gas gates and water gates.
In
Out
12:52
They didn't have the laborers idea.
In
Out
12:53
And they would make comment to the foreman that was out on the job, and myself, my assistant, and the engineer— when we brought him on board because we knew we needed supervision at some point to try to get this project to continue forward.
In
Out
13:07
And we'd started taking measures to make things happen, and that's, that's where we were.
In
Out
13:12
All right, I've got a couple questions.
In
Out
13:14
Any comments are made, I stand by what he said.
In
Out
13:17
What did you say last time, Chris?
In
Out
13:19
What do you— what are you standing by what you said?
In
Out
13:21
Oh, I'm going with Lynch.
In
Out
13:23
I lived this nightmare, um, between all the residents complaining, myself seeing work that was inadequate, um, them putting down curbing, ripping it back up, um, no work going on, work going on.
In
Out
13:39
It was just a mess.
In
Out
13:40
And the residents— I mean, the emails that we— we had people come to our meeting complaining to us and like, listen, we're not the one that's delaying this project.
In
Out
13:48
Okay, yeah, because I drive through that several times every day and I witnessed it, and I'll talk about that in a moment.
In
Out
13:53
And like you said, you stand by what you said.
In
Out
13:56
And then I said— go ahead, Chris, finish.
In
Out
13:58
I know it's a big difference in price and I acknowledge that, but I said— I, I think Mr. Healy said it too— I'd rather pay a little bit extra to make sure it's done right because JH Lynch is a very reputable contractor.
In
Out
14:11
Um, and I also said I do know Pawtucket Omnibus was very, very, uh, spread out then.
In
Out
14:17
They were like 2 years behind the other cities, and they were, they were so spread out then.
In
Out
14:22
That's why the, uh, owner's son had to leave our job to go somewhere else, and they kind of left us in a hole.
In
Out
14:27
And if I'm not mistaken, I think they— well, it started off with when they were doing Barbary, not even Anthony Street.
In
Out
14:33
They started Barbary, complete destroy that, uh, what do you call whole full-depth reconstruction.
In
Out
14:39
So not just mill, they dug down to the dirt, they put it in the first layer, then they were gone for weeks.
In
Out
14:45
A major rainstorm came and every neighbor was up in arms because their front yards, everything was completely like a flood over there.
In
Out
14:52
They still had catch basins covered up.
In
Out
14:54
I think they were out there shoveling in ankle-deep water.
In
Out
14:58
And if I'm not mistaken, I think just within a couple weeks ago they were still fixing repairs on that.
In
Out
15:02
That street, and that was the first thing they did at the start of the contract.
In
Out
15:06
Barbary and, um, going up off 152.
In
Out
15:09
Barbary, Hawley, and B-Hill.
In
Out
15:11
Yeah, because you guys are doing seams that came across, right?
In
Out
15:14
You guys were fixing seams.
In
Out
15:16
Oh, they were fixing what?
In
Out
15:18
The seams.
In
Out
15:18
The seams where they didn't mend them in, they had to heat them up again to blend it in almost a year later.
In
Out
15:27
But that's just my Having lived through it.
In
Out
15:31
One of the discussions we had, Bob, was that whoever we choose, especially Pawtucket, but I would say JH also, we're going to have our consulting engineer, GPI, oversee the whole project.
In
Out
15:48
Will there be additional cost to the town to do that?
In
Out
15:50
Yes.
In
Out
15:51
No, no, no, $150-something thousand extra.
In
Out
15:56
$156,000, I think.
In
Out
15:56
But is that for both projects?
In
Out
15:59
So I could just interject to say this.
In
Out
16:01
So the supervision required, and GPI has been doing work for the town as the town's engineer, they do inspections for subdivisions and all that, so they're very familiar with the type of work.
In
Out
16:11
They did indicate at the last meeting prior to this meeting overseeing Petucket Hot Mix, they gave a price tag of $150,000 is what they would require to oversee that project.
In
Out
16:21
For Arcade Avenue north and south.
In
Out
16:24
Some of that— there's some survey work because we know that there's certain sections— we did look at that roadway and we have to do a little bit of survey out there, probably $25,000 worth of making sure things get put back so we don't end up with puddles in the gutter line.
In
Out
16:36
If it is Lynch, the amount of supervision required on that is probably going to be reduced significantly.
In
Out
16:44
You're still going to spend $25,000, but it may be $50,000 to $75,000 total instead of $150,000.
In
Out
16:51
And that's their experience with Pawtucket last year.
In
Out
16:53
It was the first time they had to deal with all these problems.
In
Out
16:57
Based on that, they gave me a realistic price for working with them, and they gave me a realistic price in their mind of just indicating that it's going to be reduced significantly to some degree.
In
Out
17:07
It could be half with Lynch out there because Lynch is just a little bit more reputable in terms of the type of work they do.
In
Out
17:13
They work for DOT, Rhode Island DOT, MassDOT.
In
Out
17:17
They just have a little bit less need for handholding.
In
Out
17:24
So Bob, to answer your question, similar to Chris, it was just one thing after another.
In
Out
17:30
I mean, I look at Anthony Street and they put down curbing.
In
Out
17:34
They started to lay out the sidewalks.
In
Out
17:36
I think that's when the first time our engineer got involved.
In
Out
17:38
They're taking us to of the sidewalk wasn't correct.
In
Out
17:40
We had to tear it out.
In
Out
17:41
Curbing had to be torn up.
In
Out
17:42
I— to my— in my opinion, some of the curbing is still out there, probably should be replaced.
In
Out
17:46
Sorry, I see it.
In
Out
17:47
Um, they, they paved the road.
In
Out
17:49
They did a fairly good job.
In
Out
17:50
I think they had to make some corrections right near the bridge overpass at one point because some of those seams weren't correct.
In
Out
17:55
What happened on Holly and Barbera and stuff like that, that was completely unacceptable to have neighborhoods flooding.
In
Out
18:00
Um, they did not level the road correctly from day one.
In
Out
18:04
Um, they put that binder coat down and then it rained and And, um, it took forever.
In
Out
18:08
I think once they get the road paved to go back in and loom and seat it— I think, I think loom and seating took place in December.
In
Out
18:14
They did.
In
Out
18:16
I don't know where it took place.
In
Out
18:18
July, at the beginning anyway.
In
Out
18:20
It was— it all dried up because— and then on top, on top of that, you know, they had signed a contract.
In
Out
18:25
They're responsible to have a supervisor there, someone overseeing the project and stuff like that.
In
Out
18:30
Instead, we, we had to hire our engineer.
In
Out
18:33
We had to have our superintendent, his assistant, one of his foremen there babysitting this company on a daily basis just to make sure something got done.
In
Out
18:40
When they would show up, they would, they would say they were coming, but then it'd be a week, a week and a half.
In
Out
18:45
They show up to a little bit of work and then they leave again, and we get another promise.
In
Out
18:48
And they had— there was plenty of, there was plenty of meetings, plenty of communications between Mr. Cabral, the town administrator, and the company.
In
Out
18:55
And it was like, when are you guys going to actually get this project done for us?
In
Out
18:58
We need to get this road done.
In
Out
19:01
And finally we got to the point where we could get it paved and we accepted what's out there.
In
Out
19:08
I am not willing to take that chance, and I'm willing to take anybody's comments, and I'll take the punches to the head for spending the extra money to have a reputable company come in and do a major thoroughfare in our town.
In
Out
19:20
Anthony Street is— it's, it's one of the major roads on the South End, but Arcade Ave, it's the only way other than going back roads, you can get from the south end of town to the north end of town unless you come through East Providence.
In
Out
19:32
And I want it done right.
In
Out
19:34
And just so you know, Bob, there was— so they did Anthony Street.
In
Out
19:36
Obviously, as you know, they were supposed to do Anthony Street and Arcade all before school started, right?
In
Out
19:41
Obviously, that's— this is where we're at, but they were supposed to do all that within that month and a half time frame.
In
Out
19:48
All right.
In
Out
19:48
Yeah, I mean, to me, because I drive through it all the time, I know you live by that, Chris.
In
Out
19:53
Yeah, so we're constantly seeing it.
In
Out
19:55
It was dysfunctional from day one, in my opinion.
In
Out
19:59
Completely inadequate work area protection, non-existent.
In
Out
20:03
The details weren't there.
In
Out
20:05
Residents had to find their own way around.
In
Out
20:08
Lack of PPE by the workers— no hard hats, t-shirts, no retroreflective gear.
In
Out
20:14
Guys run around, different guys there all the time.
In
Out
20:16
There were a lot of red flags.
In
Out
20:18
But as I read through this, and I understand all the problems, and I agree that it was a shit show out there and poor workmanship and everything else, what really bothers me— and I think Liz touched on a little bit in that contract, the 07000, page 6.
In
Out
20:37
Everybody's got this contract.
In
Out
20:39
Under the superintendent clause, 3.81, the contractor shall employ a competent full-time superintendent, necessary assistance, and shall be in attendance at the project site at all times during the progress of the work.
In
Out
20:52
The superintendent shall represent the contractor.
In
Out
20:55
All communications given to the superintendent shall be binding as if given to the contractor.
In
Out
21:01
Important communications shall be confirmed in writing.
In
Out
21:03
Other communications shall be confirmed or written requests in each case.
In
Out
21:08
And importantly, the contractor shall remove the superintendent if requested by the owner, and a new one will be put in.
In
Out
21:16
I mean, I look at it besides this contractor, I think we are all a little responsibility.
In
Out
21:26
This calls— our contract calls for a superintendent.
In
Out
21:29
The day he's not there, it's like, where the— where is the superintendent?
In
Out
21:35
Oh, he's not— he's here on Monday, he's not here on Tuesday.
In
Out
21:38
Well, no work goes on if we have a superintendent.
In
Out
21:42
Here's the contract.
In
Out
21:43
Would all this stuff have happened if we had a competent superintendent?
In
Out
21:47
And if we didn't like the guy and things still weren't going well when he was there every single day, we have the right per the contract to request another one, a competent one.
In
Out
21:56
Okay, would all of this stuff have transpired if we had held them to the contract and said, I want a superintendent here?
In
Out
22:06
I mean, I think you touched on it, Liz.
In
Out
22:07
We— I don't know, I don't know if I believe we waived our right to it by ignoring it.
In
Out
22:12
Well, I mean, to allow the work to continue— I'm not, I'm not saying we, we wouldn't have any rights in court.
In
Out
22:20
I'm just saying to allow the work to continue, it's like we waived that requirement because we allowed the work to keep going.
In
Out
22:26
The other part that was troubling to me is, um, the schedule.
In
Out
22:32
10 days to get a schedule, a concrete schedule, and they didn't do that.
In
Out
22:36
And most troubling was GPI giving legal advice in these emails.
In
Out
22:41
That bothered me big time, because if GPI is giving legal advice, why didn't we take legal action?
In
Out
22:47
We had every right to take legal action.
In
Out
22:50
Yes.
In
Out
22:50
So I would say in a perfect world, everything you folks are saying is— I agree with 100%.
In
Out
22:54
But the The bottom line is, is that they committed to a schedule.
In
Out
22:58
They came in and they actually milled the entire roadway.
In
Out
23:02
So now we're in a situation that— oh, I get it.
In
Out
23:04
Even if you run the— no, no, right.
In
Out
23:06
So now, now we have to stop.
In
Out
23:08
We were getting complaints.
In
Out
23:09
We had another— a number of conversations, meetings, uh, with the— is he the owner or plant manager?
In
Out
23:16
I forget, I forget what his, his title was.
In
Out
23:19
And the commitments were just, just coming.
In
Out
23:22
So it's— I don't disagree with Dave.
In
Out
23:24
I hear your concerns and I agree with your concerns and the shoddy workmanship.
In
Out
23:28
I mean, it was just bad across, across the board, which is why my, my suggestion again and my recommendation, just going back to this whole particular situation, is one, from my standpoint, is still Pawtucket Hot Mix just because of the dollar amount.
In
Out
23:41
And from, from where I'm coming from, we need to have GPI to have our coverage, even if they provide somebody.
In
Out
23:47
Um, it might— my concern with them is, is that I don't have faith in, in the people that they're going to provide.
In
Out
23:53
So I want to make sure that we have somebody that's overseeing this and make— probably reviewing it from a civil engineer standpoint.
In
Out
23:59
And can they provide status reports to us?
In
Out
24:03
Oh, absolutely.
In
Out
24:04
GPI— well, they both can, but okay.
In
Out
24:06
But that wasn't happening either though.
In
Out
24:08
I mean, I get it through the emails, I get that, but I'm saying to the board, or because when I looked at everything, I'm like, our signatures go on this.
In
Out
24:16
I mean, where— I know.
In
Out
24:17
I mean, I will say during the project, at least when I was on the board, we were getting updates, okay, to the administrator's report where we're at, okay?
In
Out
24:25
And he was saying, listen, we're bringing these people and we have to meet with them because we got major problems on Anthony Street, okay?
In
Out
24:30
So yes, I won't say it was every 2 weeks.
In
Out
24:34
I won't commit to that because my memory might not be where it should be, but I know we had updates.
In
Out
24:39
You were— there were updates that were coming forward.
In
Out
24:43
And again, you know, it's just— it, for me, again, it just boils down to we had to waste all of our— in my opinion, all of our resources to go out there to correct something that they were supposed to provide.
In
Out
24:56
Okay?
In
Out
24:56
And I will say this, I think it's very difficult to expect Mr. Cabral or anybody from his department to be there every single day overseeing a project, overseeing overseeing the project, that a superintendent that the company's supposed to have there get the job done.
In
Out
25:11
I'm not saying that Mr. Cabral or one of his assistants shouldn't be there periodically throughout the week checking on things.
In
Out
25:16
I just think it's very difficult to ask them to be there every single day when we ask them to do so many other things in town.
In
Out
25:22
Oh yeah, no, I didn't, I didn't mean you should be there every day.
In
Out
25:25
No, I wish we had that flexibility.
In
Out
25:27
No, I meant the super should have been there from Pawtucket.
In
Out
25:30
Yeah, I do, absolutely.
In
Out
25:31
I, I totally agree with you.
In
Out
25:32
It's— yeah, I didn't mean him.
In
Out
25:34
He's not— was never there one week.
In
Out
25:37
They just— it was, it was about a week.
In
Out
25:39
And, and, and I will say this for the benefit, right?
In
Out
25:42
They started out, we had a meeting, you get everything, you have your meeting, everything's always— promise you the world.
In
Out
25:48
They started their work on Barbary and Holly and Bay Hill Road early on, which was fine.
In
Out
25:52
They ripped up those roads, they, they re— uh, reconstructed the roadways out there.
In
Out
25:56
And after watching them do that, not even to be able to match up things to the existing lawns and driveways and not have any, um, uh, level, you know, uh, survey control.
In
Out
26:09
I mean, if nothing else, at least you follow the road and put the driveways and put the grass and everything should be back to meet that.
In
Out
26:15
So they started with a project.
In
Out
26:17
They did initially start when they said they were going to, but then they disappeared for 3 weeks, and then you're hounding them and hounding them to keep it moving And then now we get done with that job finally, and we get a break other than the Lumen C, and we move on to Anthony Street.
In
Out
26:30
And they started out there, they showed up for the first week or so, and they started doing the milling and ground up all the roadway.
In
Out
26:37
Then they disappear again, and the indicators started going off.
In
Out
26:40
We were tooth and nail trying to get them to commit, give us a schedule, the whole bit of it.
In
Out
26:45
It reached a head probably in July where we sat and advised Mr. Cadime we had a meeting.
In
Out
26:51
We called in all the players and said, what the heck is going on?
In
Out
26:55
And even after that meeting, they showed up for the first week, got things moving again.
In
Out
27:00
The berm goes in.
In
Out
27:01
The berm is all over the place.
In
Out
27:03
It did not— didn't match up.
In
Out
27:04
It wasn't lined correctly.
In
Out
27:06
Had to rip out sections of the berm.
In
Out
27:08
And it was tooth and nail to struggle to get that job done before— and they didn't end up getting that job done until well after August.
In
Out
27:17
And even to Bob's point, though, with the project manager there, just the signage, getting the catch basins actually marked so that you could see them visibly with the orange paint.
In
Out
27:26
They went weeks without marking people.
In
Out
27:28
So those are conversations we had.
In
Out
27:30
We even struggled to get them to do that, right, even with the project manager.
In
Out
27:33
So I don't disagree.
In
Out
27:35
It's probably out of— and I sent the email to the board— out of all my experience working with the municipality, this is by far the worst and most extreme case that we've, we've ever seen for this road project.
In
Out
27:46
Like, I've never dealt with anything like this.
In
Out
27:49
And the updates to the board look like we were doing them every board meeting because July 9th, June 25th we updated him, but then we started doing them— paving update from me to Sean was pretty much every 2 weeks in sync probably with the board meetings because it was July 9th, it was July 23rd, August 6th.
In
Out
28:07
We did another one August 8th, but August 20th, it seems like it was every 2 weeks we were giving an update to him to inform the board of what the heck was happening out there.
In
Out
28:14
We had that meeting with them, assured that they're going to show up, and they did have someone out there for a little while, and then again reverted back.
In
Out
28:20
They're not there.
In
Out
28:22
And when you had a question to ask, you could never get a hold of anybody immediately either.
In
Out
28:26
So very frustrating.
In
Out
28:28
Dave, is Arcade Avenue a full— excuse me, full depth It's a mill and overlay, so a 2-inch mill and overlay, and sidewalk work.
In
Out
28:38
So they will have to do similar like they did on Anthony Street, take out all the sidewalk and all the berm, and maybe mill down a little bit more so they can get the sidewalks in uniformly and ADA compliant and get rid of some of those divots, 'cause there are some down, especially at the beginning of the project when you come in from Newman Avenue, there's a couple of areas there that are not draining properly to the drainage structures, That's the area that needs to be surveyed.
In
Out
29:01
Some of the driveways along the whole corridor are at a different grade that we have to be ADA compliant.
In
Out
29:06
We have to make sure we meet them.
In
Out
29:07
So there's going to be some locations that are going to get a little bit more attention.
In
Out
29:11
There is some pavement reconstruction in some areas, right?
In
Out
29:13
There is.
In
Out
29:15
And not a full— but if they are— so at the beginning of Arcade Avenue in particular, when you're coming in from Newman by the cemetery— not the cemetery, from the traffic, the blinking light there.
In
Out
29:26
You come in by the reservoir, you turn from Newman Avenue onto Arcade Avenue.
In
Out
29:30
On the right-hand side of the roadway, you have the berm reveal varies.
In
Out
29:35
It goes from nothing.
In
Out
29:36
It used to be a 6-inch reveal at one point, 5-inch reveal.
In
Out
29:39
Some places it's nothing.
In
Out
29:40
So the water now is just actually going over the sidewalk to the back of it to get towards the reservoir.
In
Out
29:45
There's no drainage structure there.
In
Out
29:47
So those areas are going to have to mill down a little bit more.
In
Out
29:50
They may have to mill down 4 or 5 inches to get things right, but they're going to be surveyed ahead of time.
In
Out
29:53
And there'll be some guidance there from survey to say you got to pay attention to this section to make sure we get the water from here to the structure and the next length of the project all the way down.
In
Out
30:03
We don't want to end up with puddles with a 6-inch or 5 or 4 or 5-inch reveal and have a puddle there because now it doesn't have anywhere to go.
In
Out
30:10
There will be some corrective measures taken.
In
Out
30:12
There's been layer after layer out there.
In
Out
30:14
The pavement is very thick.
In
Out
30:15
It's probably over, you know, 5, 6 inches thick.
In
Out
30:18
They put course on top of course you'll lose the curb reveal.
In
Out
30:22
So they will need in some areas to mill down a little bit more to make the profile work so the drainage at the gutter line flows correctly.
In
Out
30:31
So is the plan based on this MassDOT statement— is Oak Hill Avenue scheduled for next year?
In
Out
30:40
Oak Hill Avenue is going to be at the sole discretion of this board if they want to include it as an add-on to the contract it will be next construction season.
In
Out
30:48
So this— and Oak Hill Avenue also will be mainly an overlay, mill and overlay job with minor sidewalk improvements where needed.
In
Out
30:57
We're not replacing the sidewalks along that corridor, but we are going to do some improvements at the intersections, try to put the ADA ramps in and fix a few areas that have, you know, trenches through them and things of that nature.
In
Out
31:08
All right, so the $2.673,900 is just the Duquesne Avenue.
In
Out
31:18
Yes, I'm just trying to— I'm in my head now trying to figure out if it included the estimate for '03.
In
Out
31:29
Let me see if I have my backup for this.
In
Out
31:31
Give me one second.
In
Out
31:35
My estimate for I don't have the arcade.
In
Out
31:38
As it says on this description, milling and 2-inch overlay, you know, pavement reconstruction as necessary with replacements of sidewalks on Arcade Avenue 2026 and Oak Hill Avenue with 2027.
In
Out
31:52
So this total bid number is not for both roads?
In
Out
31:55
It, um, no, because I'm going to look at the very beginning.
In
Out
31:57
It lists all 3 projects.
In
Out
31:59
It should be for each, all 3 roadways that are in the contract.
In
Out
32:02
Is what they bid on.
In
Out
32:04
That's what it should be.
In
Out
32:05
The 2.6.
In
Out
32:06
And that, yeah, at the very beginning, just let me turn the page at the very beginning there where it talks about the road work, and that'll just clarify it in my mind right now here.
In
Out
32:15
The following projects are anticipated for 2026, and they list Arcadia Avenue north and south.
In
Out
32:21
Projects anticipated for 2026 may include, not limited to, Oak Hill Avenue.
In
Out
32:25
So the quantities include all 3 roadways.
In
Out
32:28
So the $2.6 million is for all 3 of those roadways.
In
Out
32:31
OK.
In
Out
32:31
So they basically gave us a price for— a 2-year price.
In
Out
32:35
Yeah, that's based upon the quantity.
In
Out
32:37
So we looked at each road individually.
In
Out
32:39
That's what I give the MassDOT for my estimating purposes of the Chapter 90 allocation.
In
Out
32:43
And then we put it all together into quantity at the end as the project's bid in the summary.
In
Out
32:49
So they're bidding the quantities for the entire 3 roads for the quantities we estimated.
In
Out
32:54
To me to do that.
In
Out
32:55
Okay.
In
Out
32:55
And then, Bob, in case you didn't do the math, uh, the difference between the low bid and the second bid is just under $600,000— $592,405.
In
Out
33:07
We deduct from that— if we're looking from the savings, the $150,000 we'd pay GPI— then in essence it'd be $450,000 difference between Patucket Ready Mix and J.H.
In
Out
33:19
Lynch.
In
Out
33:20
But then if you add on 100, say, for JH Lynch, that would increase their number.
In
Out
33:26
So we're still looking— by using Pawtucket Ready-Mix, even with GPI, we're looking at savings of $450,000 if my math is correct.
In
Out
33:38
So the higher GPI though, if we go with Lynch, because they have— well, I thought you said we— they said we're still going to use GPI if we get Lynch.
In
Out
33:45
It would just be half the amount of oversight, $75,000.
In
Out
33:49
As a ballpark, I would say probably at— I'm estimating through discussions with GPI that they figured it'd probably be half of— they're still going to have to do the survey work, but it would probably be half the cost.
In
Out
34:00
Yeah, exactly.
In
Out
34:01
So it'd be a less cost than the $150,000 if you went with Lynch.
In
Out
34:04
I thought Lynch has that all in-house to be able to do that, to go out there and mark everything and they can babysit themselves.
In
Out
34:14
What's the contract call for?
In
Out
34:16
What's the scope of work?
In
Out
34:18
Doesn't have any surveying in it, right?
In
Out
34:20
In the bid document itself, there's no survey included, but we, the town, know that we're going to need a little bit of survey because of the project there with the sidewalk involvement.
In
Out
34:29
If a regular mill and overlay job, you don't need survey, right?
In
Out
34:32
You do— we did all the Newman Avenue, we had no survey, right?
In
Out
34:35
You're taking 2 inches of mix out, you're putting 2 inches back in.
In
Out
34:37
The gutter line stays the same, cut and dry.
In
Out
34:40
These projects, you have to be sensitive, and I had to drive the corridor.
In
Out
34:43
I have to look at those locations.
In
Out
34:44
I met with GPI, we went over locations we were having problems.
In
Out
34:47
I took video during rainstorms and said, these areas here, we're going to need to have a little bit of survey control.
In
Out
34:52
I don't need to do the whole corridor, but I need survey control here so we don't end up with puddles, we don't end up with driveway issues, we don't end up with some of the problems that happened on Anthony Street.
In
Out
35:03
In my way of thinking, and I voted last time to go with Pawtucket, with the GPI overseeing the whole project.
In
Out
35:12
If it's— if you look at Arcade Avenue as being 2 sections, we want to do the north section first, Newman Avenue to 44th.
In
Out
35:20
We want to get that.
In
Out
35:20
That's the important one to get done before school, right?
In
Out
35:23
So if we let them do that, and if they botch it all up and everything, we'll fire them and that will be of it.
In
Out
35:29
But I still think with the GPI component in there, on-site responsible for the whole job, I think that's the way to go.
In
Out
35:37
I don't— I will not agree with that.
In
Out
35:38
I think that's, that's a bad idea to bring a company in and hope they do a good job, and then, well, we're gonna fire them, and then who's gonna do the south end side?
In
Out
35:46
They're gonna have— it ain't gonna happen this year.
In
Out
35:48
Ain't gonna happen this year.
In
Out
35:49
I'd rather just hire a company that can get the thing done from start to finish instead of playing a game and So we can discuss this all night long.
In
Out
35:57
Whenever somebody wants to make a motion, I'll make a motion and we'll see how the vote goes, because we can discuss this contract and all the mistakes that were made and back and forth all night long.
In
Out
36:06
I just have one other question about the con— and this is a future, not back.
In
Out
36:11
Um, I'm looking at the contract and under damages and all that, have you or has the town ever put in like a penalty clause, like a fine per day Uh, so we typically for building projects will have liquidated damages.
In
Out
36:24
The problem is, is that you, when you do the liquidated damages, you've got to actually identify the expense associated with it.
In
Out
36:29
So it's a little bit easier on building projects if you're outside and you're trying to move in and you've got rental and things like that.
In
Out
36:35
With, with the road construction, it becomes a little bit of a challenge to say what the real expense is to the town.
In
Out
36:42
So obviously, if we went like a penalty on their part for not showing up, or that kind of thing.
In
Out
36:47
So it kind of falls under the liquidated.
In
Out
36:49
I'm not sure we can actually issue like a fine, right?
In
Out
36:52
Yeah.
In
Out
36:52
Okay.
In
Out
36:53
All right.
In
Out
36:53
I have a question.
In
Out
36:57
So this bid, we'll just start with the hot mix, 26739.
In
Out
37:03
It covers— I know on the description it seems— why isn't it clearer to me unless I'm missing something?
In
Out
37:10
It talks about Arcade Avenue in Oak Hill, but there's more to it.
In
Out
37:16
Sounds like you said there was— yeah, there's Arcade North and Arcade South is counted as 2 separate roads.
In
Out
37:21
That's why you're saying 3 roads.
In
Out
37:23
Is that what— it's 3.
In
Out
37:24
There's 3 sections identified in a contract.
In
Out
37:28
You have the north section of Arcade Avenue, right?
In
Out
37:32
I think Dave's— Dave's saying that there's going to be on Arcade, there's going to be a little bit more work than just a mill and overlay.
In
Out
37:37
'cause of drainage structures and— Well, the sidewalk work is different on Arcade Avenue than it is on Oak Hill Avenue, 'cause on Oak Hill Avenue, we're replacing the existing sidewalks on the right-hand side of the road if you're traveling from Newman all the way up to 44, all the sidewalks and all the berms coming out.
In
Out
37:55
When Oak Hill Avenue gets done, that's going to be more of a traditional mill and overlay with spot improvements to the sidewalks where there's some defects.
In
Out
38:03
We're not taking everything out on Oak Hill Avenue.
In
Out
38:05
We're leaving the majority of the sidewalks on Oak Hill Avenue are going to stay as they are.
In
Out
38:09
We're probably going to put ADA ramps in to make them compliant at the cross streets.
In
Out
38:13
There's some early at the beginning and not so many as you go further down Oak Hill Avenue away from Central.
In
Out
38:18
But we're not looking to do full sidewalk improvements.
In
Out
38:21
It's going to be spot locations only, limited.
In
Out
38:24
All right, and it designates going into 2027.
In
Out
38:28
How does Chapter 90 money come into play going into 2027?
In
Out
38:31
Would any Chapter 70 money, Chapter 90 money come back?
In
Out
38:37
Would there be additional money, or this is all under the Chapter money we've already— so it's all reimbursable.
In
Out
38:42
So once we receive it, it stays within our accounts until we spend it.
In
Out
38:48
And this year's allocation is in.
In
Out
38:49
It came in at $970,000, somewhere around $970,000 for this year's allocation, which typically is June.
In
Out
38:56
I get the notification, which I just got June 12th, they tell you what they expect the allocation to be, and then they inform you that it's been approved.
In
Out
39:06
So next year's money is out there that we're figuring for Oak Hill Avenue, and whatever's left we spend on other roadway treatments and surface treatments.
In
Out
39:13
But the allocation for next year has already been approved now.
In
Out
39:16
This is typically when they approve the roadway project for the fiscal year.
In
Out
39:21
Oak Hill Avenue's money is the money that's being approved right now.
In
Out
39:24
Arcade Avenue money is already in the bank, if you will, in the Chapter 90 allocation.
In
Out
39:28
We don't spend the money as we get it at the fiscal year.
In
Out
39:32
We spend last year's fiscal year money now, if you will, so we're able to start in the spring.
In
Out
39:39
And off the top of your head, I know we had this conversation a while ago, what was the existing balance in Chapter 90?
In
Out
39:46
I think the existing, but there's still some projects that have allocations and all that.
In
Out
39:50
I think it was around $2.2 million out there, plus the $900,000.
In
Out
39:53
I am in the process right now of closing out some of the old accounts and identifying where we are and reimbursing some of these funds from last year too.
In
Out
40:00
So in the next month, I'll have good numbers for you.
In
Out
40:03
I'm trying— I was trying to close out that and get things up to date for the end of the fiscal year.
In
Out
40:07
I should be close to that, but, you know, towards the mid of July, we should have a good handle on here's what you have remaining, and it still includes some reimbursements reimbursements for Patuxent Hot Mix's work from last year.
In
Out
40:21
So we have all the funds we need to do this?
In
Out
40:23
The funds are available right now to do what we need to do, yes.
In
Out
40:27
When we receive Chapter 90 money, is there a window of time which we have to use it?
In
Out
40:32
No, there isn't.
In
Out
40:33
No, you can keep rolling it.
In
Out
40:35
Yeah, you just got to continue to work with them to submit the reimbursements, and then when you roll it, you just got to get the approval from DOT.
In
Out
40:42
And just for clarification, for this year, the main thing is to take care of Arcade Avenue.
In
Out
40:47
And right now, I wait for the numbers to come in with the bid, because we had a bid going out.
In
Out
40:50
We don't know where it's going to land.
In
Out
40:52
If we have excess money, I have work that I would like to do this year with another company for surface treatments, but I don't know what money I'm going to have available right now to even entertain those projects.
In
Out
41:02
So once we make a decision what we're doing here, I'll have a little bit better handle on what I can do this year on other roadways too, because I have some things in the queue, namely Prospect Street and Reed Street North and South.
In
Out
41:16
I wanted to do some work out there, but until I know exactly what we're spending and look at that balance, I don't know what I'm going to be able to get done outside of this work in this contract.
In
Out
41:28
I do have another, another question reading through the contract.
In
Out
41:31
I know it says that you're supposed to take the lowest bidder unless it's in the public's interest not to do so.
In
Out
41:42
Legally, why is that?
In
Out
41:45
I have a problem.
In
Out
41:46
Why is that in there?
In
Out
41:47
Yes, so that's always in all purchasing.
In
Out
41:49
So we, we reserve the right to reject any and all bids.
In
Out
41:52
So the process is, is it's, it's not, uh, we don't get sued.
In
Out
41:55
They do a bid protest so that we can't start a project until you rectify it.
In
Out
41:59
But when you go from the lowest bidder to the second highest bidder, you have to have documentation submitted to the AG's office.
In
Out
42:06
So you— we would have obviously enough documentation if that is the case to be able to warrant moving that.
In
Out
42:11
So that's always just a catchphrase to— so that when there are bid protests, that we can point back to it to say that we reserve the right to, to reject any and all bids.
In
Out
42:20
I just was surprised to see that in there because to me it shifts the burden onto the town.
In
Out
42:25
Yeah, it does.
In
Out
42:26
But that's It's in state statute, so it allows for it.
In
Out
42:28
Yeah.
In
Out
42:29
Okay.
In
Out
42:30
All right.
In
Out
42:32
And is it still your position to go with Pawtucket?
In
Out
42:37
Yeah, my recommendation hasn't changed.
In
Out
42:39
Okay.
In
Out
42:39
Okay.
In
Out
42:42
Any other— anything else?
In
Out
42:43
All set, Bob?
In
Out
42:47
I don't know.
In
Out
42:47
It's a lot.
In
Out
42:48
Just a general comment that we— I mean, we saved $20,000 on the insurance.
In
Out
42:52
Nice work with that.
In
Out
42:53
Administration for the town, we're fighting to save every nickel here for this town and spend that money wisely.
In
Out
43:02
I know in this case you'll look at it and you're like, is it really wise spending money with a contractor that has not done well by us?
In
Out
43:12
It's kind of difficult, you know, because you've got to explain it to the taxpayers.
In
Out
43:19
Why are we paying more?
In
Out
43:20
And, you know, there's certain— you know, there's a lot of evidence here why, why it's a mess.
In
Out
43:29
I don't know, it's a lot— there's a lot to think about reading through it, trying to do the right thing for the town and spend their money wisely.
In
Out
43:39
I mean, it's tough to find dollars and save and cut and cut and cut like we've been doing recently, and And, uh, all of a sudden we're gonna spend another $600,000, and, you know, possibly for, for possibly a good reason.
In
Out
43:59
There's plenty of evidence here.
In
Out
44:01
It's just, um, I'm a little torn by it, spending the money when the money is so hard to come by.
In
Out
44:10
When every dollar means something here.
In
Out
44:12
So just my general comment on it.
In
Out
44:15
I certainly see both sides of it.
In
Out
44:19
I'm not sure if everybody in town gets to see both sides of it because they didn't live through all of it.
In
Out
44:23
They don't know all the detail.
In
Out
44:28
But it's not a— it's not a simple thing in my mind.
In
Out
44:30
But I know it's a decision that has to be made.
In
Out
44:33
You're going to get crucified either way.
In
Out
44:35
Less pay for a reputable company that did not— was not so reputable, or pay more and hopefully the job comes out for a real reputable company.
In
Out
44:44
It's not easy being in a spot to choose this company, by the way.
In
Out
44:51
To choose Pawtucket?
In
Out
44:53
No, I'm saying to choose either.
In
Out
44:55
Whoever you choose, you're going to get crucified either decision here.
In
Out
45:03
So it is a lot of money, but it's a big tug-of-war match here.
In
Out
45:07
So Sean, your opinion is you're standing by the lower bidder, Kentucky Hot Mix, with GPI?
In
Out
45:17
So appropriating $150,000 from Chapter 90 to have GPI support and supervise the project.
In
Out
45:25
So if I ask you to make a put you on the spot and make a cogent argument of the 3 main reasons why you think that's a good idea.
In
Out
45:34
What can you tell me?
In
Out
45:35
Well, I think, I think it's everything you just listed.
In
Out
45:37
So I, I don't disagree with where Helion Zorra are and where Dave is, because I think in a perfect world we would be going with Lynch.
In
Out
45:44
That's the easiest decision to make in terms of my mind for, for the project itself.
In
Out
45:50
But to your point, as, as an administrator and just looking at every single dollar When you look at, you know, $592,000, that's almost 2/3 of our Chapter 90 money, right?
In
Out
45:59
So that's just taken away from other roads.
In
Out
46:01
So to me, it really is, like Chris said, this is a tough decision that needs to be made and it's just a balancing act.
In
Out
46:07
So from my standpoint, I just see the $600,000.
In
Out
46:10
It's a lot of money.
In
Out
46:12
I'm hoping that with GPI and having that oversight from day one and just constantly being on there and stopping the project when it needs to be stopped, and making corrective actions that we, we get a good roadway.
In
Out
46:23
My concern though is, is that, you know, I don't have a whole lot of faith.
In
Out
46:26
And you can just see in the emails, it seems like we're not even getting definitive responses from them in terms of whether or not they're going to even finish the project by the end of August.
In
Out
46:34
So there's a lot to be said, but I, I think just looking at dollars and cents, I think that's the, the biggest piece for me.
In
Out
46:41
And as I mentioned in the email, if the board goes with Lynch, you know, I, I I would be happy with that.
In
Out
46:47
I just— my recommendation has to be with the lowest bid because it's so high.
In
Out
46:54
Did I answer your question?
In
Out
46:56
Good, thank you.
In
Out
46:59
If, if we were to take number 2, right, and you have to submit that to the AG, could the AG reject it?
In
Out
47:06
They, they could, but I, I can't see them interfering.
In
Out
47:10
Yeah.
In
Out
47:13
All right, well, nobody— anybody— everybody all set?
In
Out
47:16
Any more questions?
In
Out
47:17
Any more comments?
In
Out
47:21
All right, somebody wants to make a motion?
In
Out
47:23
I'll make a motion we, uh, award the on-call pavement and sidewalk rehab services to James Lynch and Sons with GPI included.
In
Out
47:34
I don't think that's necessary, but if that's what the rest of the board wants to add That's fine.
In
Out
47:39
Was that part of your motion?
In
Out
47:43
I can make it part of my motion.
In
Out
47:45
Okay, is there a second?
In
Out
47:47
I'll second.
In
Out
47:49
Okay, roll call vote.
In
Out
47:51
Let's start with you, Chris.
In
Out
47:52
Chris Zorra, aye.
In
Out
47:54
Michael Healy.
In
Out
47:55
Michael Healy, aye.
In
Out
47:56
Liz?
In
Out
47:58
Nay.
In
Out
47:59
No.
In
Out
47:59
Okay, Bob?
In
Out
48:01
Aye.
In
Out
48:03
Okay, and I will vote nay.
In
Out
48:06
So the vote is 3 in favor, 2 opposed to IAJH Lynch with the GPI oversight, which you felt would be limited in scope compared to if it was— right.
In
Out
48:20
Okay, thank you.
In
Out
48:23
Thank you.
In
Out
48:26
All right.
In
Out
48:30
Thank you for your recommendation, Sean.
In
Out
48:32
That helped me.
In
Out
48:33
No, thank you.
In
Out
48:34
Yeah, no, that helped me.
In
Out
48:35
I appreciate it.
In
Out
48:37
All right, I gave everybody on the board some information on drones, and if you would share with the chiefs, and maybe at some point we can all have a conversation on that.
In
Out
48:49
Yep.
In
Out
48:50
Okay, 911 Taunton Avenue.
In
Out
48:52
Who would turn in the meeting?
In
Out
48:54
No, I'm just going to keep going for a minute.
In
Out
48:57
Just going to ask a couple questions.
In
Out
48:59
911 Taunton Avenue, is that set for closing?
In
Out
49:02
Uh, so we just— I'm going to be careful because I did not— we don't have board comments on here.
In
Out
49:07
That's all.
In
Out
49:08
I'm just— that's what I'm trying to stop you.
In
Out
49:10
We'll be meeting law complaint.
In
Out
49:11
We're not taking any votes.
In
Out
49:13
Okay.
In
Out
49:14
So we got— we received that from, uh, legal today, so that's going to be on the next agenda for the board to accept The deed, the deed restriction, but deed, they actually signed the deed.
In
Out
49:25
All right, the rest of it I can wait till the 24th.
In
Out
49:28
Okay.
In
Out
49:29
All right, there's nothing else.
In
Out
49:31
I'd entertain a motion to adjourn at 5:48 PM.
In
Out
49:35
Second, Michael Healy.
In
Out
49:38
All in favor?
In
Out
49:39
Aye.
In
Out
49:39
Opposed?
In
Out
49:40
So voted.
In
Out
