5. %D BUSINESS (Cont'd would be willing to look into that, but it would be at additional compensation. Mr. Butler asked if this is a matter of turning the systems off and in the cleaning? Mr. Oesterling said he believes there could be damage if we continue to operate as we have. Mr. Butler asked if there is any indication of any damage? Mr. Slabaugh said, "We will have to add muratic acid to clean it up. The rewinding cost $106.00, and burned up the motor." Mr. Oesterling recommended the tests be made of the north and south areas and recommendations be made for the problem of the pools. As to assuming responsibility for the failure to have deter- mined during the design phase the type of treatment that should have been designed for it, Mr. Oesterling said he didn't see how they could, unless the provision had been provided. Mr. Butler said there is some responsibility on the winding of the pools, on Pool "B ", and the penney lodged in Pool "D ", and apparently that is not the contractor's responsibi- lity. The units- -per the engineers - -are installed according to specifications and installed properly, and per Mr. Slabaugh might have been a maintenance problem. The basic problems are covered by the warranty. Legal Counsel's recommendation was that the Commission release the $194,483.37 retainage for payment, and that the 3% retainage will be sufficient to cover any problems that may come before the members of the Commission. The Commissioners agreed to the release and payment of the 7% retainage. Commission Legal Counsel, Mr. Kevin J. Butler, requested a motion that the Commission has determined the project to be substantially completed and the 7% retainage be paid to The Hickey Company, as the contract calls for payment when the project is substantially completed. Said motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried, and the payment of the 7% retainage, in amount of $194,483.37, was authorized. (A summary of the discussion is shown above, under Item 3, Approval of Claims, as the retainage amount is included in the total claims authorized for payment.) The Commissioners requested to find out what needs to be done on the hard water to have the pools running, the tests on the water (north and south) are to be taken, and the recommendations to solve the problem brought before the Commission. Mr. Slabaugh is awaiting the results from the UNI -CHEM CORPORATION on the Analog Computer. - 11 -
