Electrical Project Update and Punch List Review

Status of Electrical Materials and Procurement

• P TAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) Covers: Charlie has currently received $107$ covers. The total requirement for the project is $115$ covers, leaving a shortage of $8$ units. The supplier has already processed the difference, and the remaining covers are expected to arrive within the next few days or by the following week.

• Core Receptacles: There is a significant discrepancy between the initial counts and the quote provided by Maine. The project requires approximately $530$ standard core receptacles. These must be TR (Tamper Resistant), Decora-style, white, $20\,\text{Amp}$ receptacles. Mark is currently waiting for a formal quote from Maine to issue a Purchase Order (PO) and finalize the order.

• Common Area Electrical Components: Charlie noted that while the bulk of the receptacle counts provided were for individual rooms, a small additional quantity is needed for the common areas. Charlie will count these specifically and provide the total to Mark so the order can be adjusted.

• Exterior Wall Packs: A total of $8$ wall packs are designated for the building exterior. Six ($6$) units have already been installed. Charlie picked up the final $2$ units today and plans to complete the installation the following morning.

Engineering RFIs and Site Design Changes

• Roof and Utility Room Exterior Lighting: An inquiry was made regarding the specific lights located on top of the elevator room, electrical room, and water heater room (as seen on the elevation view). According to John, these fixtures are owner-furnished, so no RFI (Request for Information) was required. Mark will follow up with the owners regarding the procurement of these items.

• Pool Area Lighting (X4): A previous RFI was submitted to clarify the specifications for fixtures labeled "X4" in the pool area, which were not clearly defined in the original documents. This issue has been resolved.

• Vanity Light Deletion: There is a major design change involving the deletion of vanity lights across all units. The justification provided was that the lighting from the backlit mirrors is sufficient for the spaces. Charlie noted that this same conversation occurred approximately $9$ to $12$ months ago. Charlie is refusing to touch the existing vanity light setups until a formal email confirmation is received from Tate to avoid undocumented changes. Mark will monitor his email for this confirmation.

• Bathroom Switch Configuration: In the bathrooms, a two-gang mud ring was originally installed to accommodate separate switches for the fan and the light. However, a two-pole fan/light combo switch was used, leaving an empty space in the mud ring. Tate has verbally accepted the use of a blank plate to cover the extra space rather than requiring the mud rings to be changed. Charlie will send an email to document this acceptance for the project records.

Punch List Itemized Review: Line-by-Line Progress

• Item $33$: Not done; finish room pending.

• Item $34$ (Astronomical Time Clock): The clock has been received, but installation is not yet complete.

• Item $35$: Not applicable (battery-operated equipment used).

• Items $36$ & $37$ (P1 Replacement Panel): Not done. The appropriate replacement panel is not currently on-site.

• Item $38$ (Standpipe Tamper Valve Switch): Not done. Diablo does not have the switch. Sean is checking the shop for available stock.

• Item $39$: Not done. Access to the water heater and electrical rooms is restricted by VCC/the City.

• Item $43$ (Car Charger): Verified. VCC is providing the charger; the electrical team is only responsible for pulling the wire.

• Item $44$: Mitigated and completed.

• Items $45$ & $46$: Pending VCC/City clearance.

• Item $56$ (Christie Box): The Christie box located by the backflow/check valve has been lowered and is completed.

Site Coordination and Operational Constraints

• Access Issues: Charlie is currently unable to enter the water heater room or the electrical room due to restrictions imposed by the City or VCC. These delays are being documented in the daily reports to account for the lack of progress in these areas.

• Material Sourcing: Charlie mentioned that if labels or other small materials are not provided soon through the standard material list, he will source them independently to keep the project moving.

Questions & Discussion

• Mark: Asked if Charlie wanted to go through the punch list line-by-line or just provide an update. Charlie opted to go through the list as Mark updated the items in real-time.

• Mark: Asked for a count of the common area receptacles needed. Charlie agreed to provide the counts.

• Charlie: Asked Mark to keep pushing for the quote on the $20\,\text{Amp}$ Decora white TR receptacles.

• Mark: Asked if Charlie had any plans for the upcoming weekend. Charlie mentioned he plans to go trout fishing in the Sierras for relaxation.

• Conclusion: The meeting concluded with Mark promising to keep the punch list updated and continue pushing for material procurement.
