WWTP Phase One Has a Snag

The improvements to the Waste water treatment plant have been going smooth until this week. The expected substantial completion was going to be around the first of May. AT the last construction update, on Friday April 10, there were a few new updates that the Engineer, Floyd Browne, had not taken into account on the electrical portion of the job. The Engineer presented me with work directive three. This was a change order to the electric portion calling for larger wire and service to handle the larger wet well and potable water pumps throughout the project. The contractor noted that they would need extra time due to delays on the electrical and due to some weather days during the course of the winter. This will probably set the substantial completion off by 30 days or more. All parties seemed to believe that the project would be completed in time for the final inspection and final completion dates.
On April 23rd, the State inspectors for building and electrical were present at the job site. The electrical inspector told the Electricians to proceed, however the Engineer needed to submit changes to the State of Ohio for the electrical updates. The building or structural inspector reported that there was a violation, due to the fact he had not been notified of the projects progress and this was the first time he had been on site. He did report a violation and informed the engineer, Floyd Browne, that they were to submit a letter and supporting documentation of the progress and take responsibility for the work that had been done and not inspected. Throughout this project, I had asked about inspections several times, which seemed to fall on deaf ears. This may, and will probably slow the project completion. It will depend on how quickly the Engineering firm works to repair the situation. The site representative, for the engineer, has taken pictures and notes throughout the project.
The contractor, Sunesis, has seemed to have done good work and has been particular throughout the project thus far. I do not want to make this sound good or bad, at this point I do not know. It is very disturbing that the State inspectors have not been kept informed as they should have. I have sent letters and emails expressing my concerns to the engineer, Floyd Browne.
The next scheduled Construction Meeting will be held on Friday May 8th at 10am at the Municipal Building
