8. QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION (Cont'd <br />Mr. Soltesz, Member of the River Bend Plaza Advisory <br />Committee, said he had a question on the submission <br />of the contract. Was there any indication in the <br />contract that a proposal would be made to the Advisory <br />Board as to a communication on pulling of wiring so we <br />have a facility for enunciating a PA system in that <br />general area? <br />A. Mr. Brownell advised, "No. That was not included <br />in the contract specification." <br />Mr. Soltesz said the reason he asked is that it is a <br />simple process at the time when we are pulling a wire, <br />instead of having to go back at a later date and we should <br />decide we want something like this and have to tear up <br />everything that has been laid to do the wiring job that <br />is necessary. <br />A. Mr. Brownell said the reason it was not included was <br />at the time we were working with this contract; `we did <br />not have money enough for the full contract. We had <br />to eliminate the lighting from the contract. The Com- <br />mission was not happy with eliminating the fighting. <br />We have now submitted it to HUD, with the lighting <br />eliminated, for approval. We do not have the money <br />to do the contract as it wasr,or, gl'1 l-y� presented. <br />Commissioner Wiggins said we would have to do that <br />phase of it under a separate contract, as we have to <br />find the funds to do it with. This is where we are <br />at. It also includes doing the basic part of the <br />electrical work. The contract was decreased at this <br />point. These other things can be handled later. We <br />anticipate finding support that will provide the <br />funds to get it going. <br />Mr. Brownell said Mr. Soltesz is talking about putting <br />in wiring for communication purposes and we have com- <br />mitted ourselves to try to find money for the lighting. <br />Mr. Soltesz advised on one other: In the sizing of the <br />facilities, it would be advantageous if the size of the <br />conduit was being laid and the principals supplied with <br />consideration for the co -axial cable that is necessary <br />so it can be pulled at that time. Instead of going all <br />through the expenses and doing the same job a l l over <br />again.- We are only talking about a 1/2" size and that <br />determining factor does not take away from the material <br />cost too much because it is all the same. <br />A. Commissioner Wiggins said as we have approval on this, if <br />we can find the means to do it, we can handle it by a <br />change order. <br />- 17 - <br />
