The Revere City project committee approved several October invoices and a budget revision request that realigns existing allowance categories within the Left Field contract.
Project staff member Brian Bridal presented the budget revision request (BRR), saying it was an accounting reconciliation rather than a contingency draw. “We need to move $40,000 from the estimates category into other reimbursable services to fund the first soil precharacterization proposal,” Bridal said. He emphasized the money is already in the Left Field contract and the BRR simply moves it to a single line for better tracking.
The committee approved the BRR by roll call.
At the same meeting the committee approved four October invoices:
- Left Field: $555,570. Bridal said Left Field is billing to 80% completion of construction documents and 3% completion for construction administration.
- Perkins Eastman: $1,112,254.21. Bridal said Perkins is billing at 86% completion of construction documents; subconsultant BHB (traffic) is billing at 46% completion.
- National Grid: $140,000. The invoice covers final electrical service design and draws against a previously budgeted $300,000 utility fee line.
- Consigli: $166,226.87. Bridal said Consigli’s preconstruction services are billing at about 94% completion and that the construction requisition reflected roughly 4.8% of awarded work.
Committee members asked clarification questions on percent-complete calculations and whether certain tasks (for example, material removal) were covered by the invoiced lines or by separate site-work awards. Staff and Consigli representatives explained materials removal and trucking are accounted for in the awarded site-work package, while the negotiated invoices and BRR address testing, reporting and preconstruction services.
All invoice motions and the BRR were approved on roll call during the meeting.
