The only remaining outstanding hardware selection are the Master Bath vanity hardware, which has been ordered by the Owner. The Owner also noted the intention to salvage any door hardware before doors are removed from site.

12-15-05  (See attached door stop schedule.)

12-22-05  The Contractor reported that the pocket door hardware selected will not work with the doors. Alternate pocket door hardware was approved. Also, the Owner has decided not to have a privacy latch on the Master Bath door. (Finish hardware is on site awaiting installation.)

26.  Recirculation system:

08-25-05  Contractor reported this issue would be addressed when final plumbing finish was being installed.

12-29-05  Contractor indicated that a recirculation system has been installed. Architect requests specification on the unit, where it is installed, and how it operates.

27.  Vacuum systems: Closed, no further action required

28.  Roofing: Complete

29.  Siding:

10-13-05  The wood siding on the house has shown signs of staining. This has been noted on a number of occasions and was observed almost immediately after the exterior paint was applied. Some information regarding extractive bleeding and surfactant bleeding has been forwarded to both the Owner and the Contractor as possible explanations for the problem. The Owner has requested that the shingle material supplier be contacted and a remedy for the problem be proposed.

11-10-05  Contractor provided product literature on the type of paint to used on the shingles and the possible causes of staining. The material is being reviewed.

12-1-05  The Architect requests the shingle supplier come to the site and observe the effects of the apparent extractive bleeding. After reviewing the materials provided by the Contractor it was noted that the latex-based paint was applied in strict accordance with the manufacturers written instructions.

12-08-05  Contractor indicated arrangements would be made for the shingle supplier to visit the site to consider the problem with the shingles.

12-29-05  The Contractor indicated that oil based paint should have been used on the exterior. It was noted that the painter followed the instructions for finish coats supplied by the shingle manufacturer and submitted by the Contractor. The Contractor was responsible for the priming portion of the work. The Contractor supplied a Technical Data Sheet for a “Problem-Solver Wood Cleaner” (attached to these Meeting Minutes).

020206  The Architect tested the tenacity of the tannin stains on the painted shingle surface and discovered that the stains can easily be removed with water and light abrasion, followed by a clean water rinse. It should be possible to remove most or all of the stains with a hose and brush. It is advised that the cleansing of the shingles be performed as soon as possible to avoid increased adhesion of the stain to the surface.

30.  Gas service: Complete

31.  Stair Vault: Complete

32.  Concrete Extras: Waiting for Change Order amount for omitting concrete corbels as specified on the Contract Documents. Skim coating of bad areas of exposed concrete still required.

08-25-05  The concrete corbels on the north side of the house were to help support the concrete stair. As noted early in the project, these corbels were omitted by the concrete subcontractor. The alternate detail was also not installed. This Architect would like the Structural Engineer to review the scope of work and confirm there will not be settlement issues over the life of the stair.

08-29-05  Architect was notified that the concrete work would not be complete for another two weeks. The Architect will arrange to have Pat Kelly (Geotechnical Engineer) and Brad Connelly (Structural Engineer) meet on site after 09-13-05 to address issues related to this work.

09-15-05  A meeting was held with the excavator, Soils Engineer, Contractor, Owner and Architect to discuss the driveway and north stair. (See attached memo for items related to this discussion.)

10-13-05  The elevator pit is scheduled to have a concrete floor. All rough-in for the previously specified elevator should be accommodated.

11-10-05  The credit to the Owner for the concrete corbels was discussed again. A Change Directive proposal for this cost deduction was first requested in February of 2005. The Architect does not accept that the planters added on the north side of the property are an equal value. One of these planters was required due to the height the shingles were installed not corresponding to the finish grade of the drive. Independent bids may be necessary to determine the value of the omitted work.

12-29-05  Waiting for Change Directive proposal from Contractor.

33.  Second Floor Supply Ducts (Original): Complete

41.  Frozen plumbing pipes: Closed

42.  Recycling: Ongoing

43.  Exterior Doors: Complete

44.  Scaffolding: Complete

45.  Gutters:

11-03-05  The gutter on the front of the house is sloping in the wrong direction. Water was observed flowing over the end of the gutter. This will need to be corrected to prevent erosion in the yard.

11-17-05  Contractor reported the gutter slopes in the wrong direction due to the existing house being out of level. Approximately 2 ½” of slope needs to be accommodated. The contractor suggested an additional downspout draining to a perforated pipe. This perforated pipe would be installed in the side yard where construction was previously prohibited. The approval of the Owner is required. A cost should be supplied prior to performing any work.

12-01-05  Contractor will provide a cost for installing a new downspout and drain pipe.

12-08-05  Owner approved adding a downspout to the Living Room corner of the house, and to connect to a perforated drain pipe to be installed in the side yard.

12-29-05  Contractor presented an option for connecting the new corner downspout to the existing storm water system. For grading reasons, the pipe cannot be buried entirely. An alternate option is to provide a splash block. This can be approved by the inspector.

01-26-06  The splash block alternative may result in erosion in the front yard, and storm water running over the public sidewalk. The Architect will visit site and offer alternative recommendations for routing storm water from new downspout.

46.  Interior Painting: By Owner

47.  Electrical rough-in: Complete

48.  Appliances:

07-27-05  Contractor reported that the appliance should be ordered.

08-02-05  Marie Ryan will confirm that she is ordering the proper refrigerator handle for the overlay door panel configuration. She is also looking at the panel grille cover at the top of this unit. She has not included the vent liner in her order with the understanding that the Contractor is supplying this unit.

08-04-05  Owner will order the ventilation hood as part of the appliance purchase.

10-06-05  Owner reported that the appliances are ready to be delivered. Standard TV & Appliance will hold the appliances for 45 days, starting on 9-23-05. When should appliances be delivered?

12-01-05  The electrical outlet for the Kitchen range was installed too high. This will be corrected prior to the appliance installation. The ductwork for the ventilation hood needs to be adjusted. The exhaust pipe penetration through the wall is offset by approximately 3 inches. The Contractor is exploring options for correcting this conflict.

12-08-05  The refrigerator needs to be supplied with handles. During the cabinet shop drawing review, the Owner approved the bar style handles supplied by Sub-Zero. The correct handles need to be ordered from Standard TV & Appliance, or an alternative handle style will need to be supplied.

12-08-05  Owner will call regarding the ducting which is required to connect the ventilation hood to the wall termination. Owner will select handles for the refrigerator.

12-22-05  The ducting transition piece for the ventilation hood was delivered to the site.

12-29-05  Contractor to provide transition duct to resolve the rough-in conflict with the existing duct location. (HVAC subcontractor to coordinate.)

62.  Sidewalk and Driveway: The driveway and sidewalk were damaged during the construction of the addition. The City holds the Owner responsible for maintaining sidewalks fronting their property. The necessary repair work to City standards shall be completed by the Contractor.

10-06-05  Contractor reported they are aware of necessary sidewalk repairs. It was further reported that the City would not give final approval until the work was completed.

11-10-05  A driveway and off-street parking space is required by City code. Copies of the zoning code outlining the requirements were provided to the Owner.

11-17-05  A message was left for Lee Hiltenbrand, Chief Inspector for the City of Portland, to ask if wheel strips were allowed under the code. He left a message that they are allowed but that his office does not have the specific requirements at this time. Presumably an 18” – 24” wide wheel strip would be sufficient. These should be laid out on the standard wheel base of a car.
