1.8

Shop Drawing Approval Status:

(Meeting No. 2)
Dawn R. advised that the Bar Joist Shop Drawings mailed directly from ADG were received Mon. 4/6/98, however 3 different items of information requested on the Shop Drawing had not been addressed by ADG, therefore, Vulcraft, the bar joist supplier will not release the bar joist for detailing and subsequent fabrication until this information is received.

Dirk L. with RSM advised that the bar joist web configuration information is needed immediately so it can be determined if required duct work sizes will fit between the bar joist web members.

(Meeting No. 3)
Doug H. advised that as of 9:30am today the three outstanding issues that were part of the Vulcraft Bar Joist Shop Drawing approval had been resolved. The three issues in question were resolved by locating the respective information that was specified on the original drawings. Doug H. advised that Ken Price the structural engineer with SCH Engineering stated that since this information was clearly noted on the original drawings that ADG would not be responsible for any bar joist delivery delays as a result of the shop drawing approval process.

Doug H. requested Dawn R. with LF to reconfirm the delivery dates for structural steel and bar joist materials to the job site.

(Meeting No. 4)
Doug H. advised that all subcontractors to send all shop drawing submittals to Arnell-West via next day mail to insure that mail delivery delays do not contribute to delayed shop drawing approvals.

Mark J. further advised that until the approved shop drawings are received, an equipment order cannot be placed. Light fixture delivery is approximately 8 weeks out from date of order and even if approved shop drawings were received today, CE would not be able to meet the original construction schedule. Mark J. advised that CE will be formally requesting a time extension due to the delay in receiving these approved shop drawings.

Doug H. advised that Tom Marsh with ADG is pursuing the matter and will do everything possible to get these particular electrical shop drawing submittals sent out as soon as possible.
