LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
1 . POLICE BUILDING - CHANGE ORDER
Assistant City Manager stated that the purpose of the meeting
was to consider and act on proposed change order to the
Ray Wilson Co. contract for construction of the new police
building, dealing with changes needed to be made to the
jail because of changes in State Law and in the State Fire
Marshal ' s Office. He stated that this item was scheduled
to be presented at the Council meeting of October 17, however,
some of the quotes in the change order will expire on October
17 and action would have been too late to avoid further (117)
increases.
Assistant City Engineer reported that the State Fire Marshal
has jurisdiction, and the jail was approved in the architec-
tural design, but between approval of the design and the
required changes in May, 1984, the contract was awarded
in March, 1984; that the changes were appealed by the archi-
tect, police staff, Building & Safety Director, and the
Fire Chief, and an effort made to leave the design as origi-
nally prepared, which resulted in a 50% reduction in costs
and an agreed upon plan by the State as of August 1 , 1984;
that the revised plan was given to the contractor with request
for prices, which were not finalized until one week ago;
that 6-7 major sub-contractors were involved in the changes,
and 24 plan sheets modified and 3 new sheets prepared;
that there is enough money in the contingency account to
cover the work, and an appeal could later be made in other
ways to the State; that the staff thinks, the change order
should be approved in order to keep the job moving; and
that stipulation has been included in the change order rela-
tive to contractor's request for insurance and bond costs
in connection with the change order.
Minute Order 3478, approving Change Order #3, for an increase
of $115,073.43, was presented; after which, it was moved
by Smith, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried,
Maryanov absent, that Minute Order 3478 be adopted.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.
