PORTUGUESE BEND - DEWATERING WELL - REJECTION OF A BID (1900 x
1204)
Director Pulliam presented the staff report of August 15 and the
recommendation to reject the bid from Simich Construction and
direct staff to rebid the work with revised contract documents to
pay for the well drilling item on a time and material basis.
Inasmuch as the City had just completed installing six wells,
Director Pulliam felt that they have an idea of how much the
drilling should be, however no contractor was apparently willing to
bid on this one well.
Dr. Ehlig, said that one of the issues was the use of a steel
casing, if pvc could be used that would reduce the cost, however,
there was uncertainty whether this would be a dry well. He
suggested an experimental well which could be done for considerably
less.
Member Lyon moved, seconded by Member Brooks to reject the bid.
Motion carried.
It was the consensus that staff should find some method for
implementing an exploratory well project.
CHARLES ABBOTT - RDA's PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
EXTENSION (1204 X 1900)
Lois Larue stated her opposition to the agreement with Charles
Abbott Associates.
Board discussion centered on clarification that the contractor is
not obligated to serve under the terms of the contract until 1996,
that the contract allows them to ask for a rate increase after June
30, 1995, and whether there was any information on other bidders
for this contract. Additional Board inquiries focused on whether
the contract was within budget; and, the impact of the requested
increase on the budget;
Charles Abbott said he had requested the rate increase since their
public works contract would be expiring in 1996 and that they would
be willing to accept an increase consistent with the rate of
inflation.
Chairman Byrd moved, seconded by Member Brooks to extend the
contract for one year; that the 1996 rates remain at the current
rate; that the rates for 1996-97 for the additional year would be
I/
the same as the rates for the City's public works contract with the
proviso that if that increase is denied when considered by the
Council, that the request for a rate increase for RDA work would
also be denied. The motion carried.
