BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING 03/31/11

Attendance: Gary Johnson, Bill Evanson, Pastor Charlane, Elsie Redlin, Steve Sing, Pastor George, Randy Jones, Jerry Nypen, Chuck Lowman, Nancy Dynneson

 

·         Bill stated that work is still on track for completion of the project on or about July 15, 2011.

 

·         We discussed the additional electrical and propane costs from MDU that have occurred with the construction. The bill for this additional cost was received by Bill and Kringen Construction will pay these amounts to Pella.

 

·         There has been some work on the outside brick face. The bricklayer will be back Monday to begin some of the work on the front entrance.

 

·         The Interiors Committee will be meeting at 7 PM tonight. They will finalize some colors for the cabinets. These will be matching to the tones on the beams and the wood ceiling.

 

·         The small windows on the south side of the Fellowship Hall have not had issues with leaking since they are completely flashed in and sealed.

 

·         The shingles are here and will be installed soon.  After the amount of snow we have had this winter, the decision has been made to plan for additional membrane roofing to extend up on the sloped roof from the low slope (flat) area. This will be a cost of about $800, but we should not have any issues with seepage, should future winters also average this amount of snow.

 

·         The elevator will be installed when there is proof of a permanent power source.  There are some issues with the final electrical inspection which may add some additional costs, but Gary will research this. He should have some more information next week, and then we will need to have another Construction Committee meeting to discuss use of contingency funds.

 

·         The door submittals have gone to the architect. The frames to the outer doors are awaiting the brick face before they are installed.

 

·         The piping and flexible heads are installed for the sprinkler in the new and old areas. Next week on Wed (4/6) and Thurs (4/7) the holes will be drilled in the sanctuary for the install. This will be pending any need for the sanctuary for unplanned services.  A small lift will be used and the pews will be moved. Steve stated that the Property and Grounds Committee will get the jig they use for moving the pews to Kringen Construction.  The permanent heads will not be installed until after the holes are placed. Steve stated that by the time the heads will be here for installation in the sanctuary, the pews will be gone for refurbishing.

 

·         During the work with the sprinkler system in the sanctuary, a conduit will be run to house the wires needed to move the sound system. Moving the sound system will be coordinated by the Property and Grounds Committee.

 

·         There was discussion about some work to be done with the lights and the electrical system in the sanctuary. This will also be managed by the Property and Grounds Committee.

 

·         The west windows (3) were installed too low, and this was corrected by Kringen Construction prior to the sheet rock work.

·         The stair pans are installed. These are 2 inches deep and eventually will have concrete poured in them to form the riser. Chuck Lowman will contact Stan and Ross Rosaaen about construction of the metal rails. Gary will follow up with the fabricating firm about a refund for this work as Stan and Ross plan to construct the railing. Bill will also be involved in coordinating this.

 

·         We have received a verbal bid for painting that is reasonable. Pastor George will get a written and signed bid, and then we will proceed with professional painting, with Pella providing the paint. The initial priming will be done by Kringen Construction. The painter will coordinate work with Kringen to facilitate a schedule that works with them for the finish work. The paint will be purchased locally.
