The Special Meeting was called to discuss Change Order No. 3 and
Billing No. 1 on the S.E. 8th Avenue Bridge and the Resolution
Supporting Hospice.
CHANGE ORDER NO. 3 - S.E. 8TH AVENUE BRIDGE
Engineer Broome explained the reason for change order No. 3 as
follows: due to the old walls not being anchored with concrete deadmen
it caused them to give way during the construction of this project.
Under change order No. 2 these walls were removed. We were no longer
able to anchor the new walls to the old walls, therefore, Change order
No. 3 in the amount of 2,068. is necessary. It consists of adding
concrete deadmen to prevent the walls from moving due to the earth
loads. To accomplish this work three additional days are requested.
Following discussion concerning the change order, Councilman
Rubin made a motion approving change order No. 3 in the amount of
2,068. adding 3 additional work days to the contract. Councilman
Douglas seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Council discussed possible credits for the City regarding the
water pipes and signs surrounding the contruction area on S.E 8th
Avenue. ·
BILLING NO. 1 - ROCK-A-WAY
Engineer Broome recommended the Council approve payment to
Rock-A-Way Construction Company in the amount of 47,284.02 for work
approved so far on the S.E. 8th Avenue Bridge (withholding the 10%
retainage).
Following discussion, Councilman Rubin made a motion to approve
Billing No. 1 to Rock-A-Way Construction Company in the amount of
47,184.02. Councilman Douglas seconded the motion. Motion carried.
