It was also explained that the contract might not be awarded to the lowest bidder. If there is a substantial difference in the price, the consulting firm will contact the bidder to determine the reason for such a low bid. All approved bidders will then be presented to the Finance Committee for approval or refusal. The Consultant Engineer will do periodic inspection at unannounced times to ensure that the agreed quality of materials is used and good workmanship is maintained at all times. Walking in the Church roof during construction is restricted to the contractor, his crew and inspectors only.
Safety regulations prohibit all others.
As the church does not have an attic Mr. Katsoris is in the process of a design project to provide the necessary space for added insulation. No savings figures are available at this time, but will be provided with the completed design stage showing all pros and cons. The Consultant Engineer will also ensure the Contractor is aware that sometimes there will be some disruptions if work will interfere with some Church Services, e.g. funerals, etc. The Church will advise the contractor the day before, so that the work will be coordinated around the event. Completion of re-roofing will take approximately six to eight weeks.
