7. PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd
<br />Mr. Soltesz stated, "A review is fine, but here we are in the middle
<br />of the season: Now, -let's proceed and do it: It's just that simple.
<br />We have had all of these meetings, and the River Bend Advisory Com-
<br />mittee meetings, and have gone on and discussed these pools since
<br />last October, and NOW we are going to review it!
<br />Commissioner Chenney said, "You mean this was brought up last
<br />October ?" with Mr. Soltesz replying, "Yes, it was brought up, right
<br />in this - meeting - -last October. I brought it up personally. They did,
<br />however, put plywood on for the winter to keep people from falling in."
<br />Commissioner Wade asked how long it will take to get this mesh, and
<br />Commissioner Wiggins said we will have to have a change order, a
<br />contract, or something, to get it done. Mr. Soltesz said he will
<br />leave the sample here that belongs to the Bendix'Corporation, and
<br />the manufacturer's brochure - -thE: woven wire table booklet is from
<br />The W. S. Tyler Company, Cleveland, Ohio -- Specification No. 74.
<br />Mr. Oesterling, with Clyde E. Williams & Associates, said that as far as
<br />he is concerned, he thinks it is a good idea. It appears good to him
<br />and it appears that thE: only thing we need is to negotiate with someone
<br />to get it installed, in reference to Soltesz's recommendation. That
<br />we would not want to do it under contract, but under negotiations, as
<br />there are limitations on a contract to negotiate. Mr. Brownell said
<br />said we could go up to $2,000 without a bid. Discussion was on it
<br />requiring perhaps six sheets - -4 x 8 - -@ $200 or $1,200 plus the cost of
<br />installation. Commissioner Wiggins said it would probably cost over
<br />$3,000 and would cover both areas probably.
<br />Commissioner Wade said, "Let's get this done right: "Tom Oesterling said
<br />Mr. Farrand has some additions.
<br />Legal Counsel, Mr. Butler, requested, "At the next meeting, have a re-
<br />commendation back to this meeting for action to move with this - -on
<br />June 6. Commissioner Wiggins added, "And hope nobody breaks a leg in-
<br />between time."
<br />Mr. Butler said, "In the last meeting, I was asked to check on the
<br />responsibility for maintenance repair items on the Mall, whether it
<br />is ours, the Board of Public Works, or whoever. It is our responsi-
<br />bility still. The Project has not been turn e d over to the Board of
<br />Works by the Redevelopment; Commission. The Project was not formally
<br />approved by the Commission. My understanding is that when thE: re-
<br />quest comes, we will approve the completion retroactive to August,
<br />1974. We do have the maintenance and performance bonds and obligations
<br />on the contractor on certain parts of that run for only one year. So,
<br />when we do that, if it is approved retroactive to August of 1974, we
<br />are dealing with August, 1975, deadline. On the pools- -the pools are
<br />excluded in that. There is a one -year limitation on the mechanical parts
<br />of the pools. Are we going to get a request for the acceptance of that
<br />soon? Mr. Oesterling replied, "The final change order has been held
<br />until the maintenance equipment that was required by change order to the
<br />contract was fulfilled. The final change order can be submitted for
<br />authorization." Mr. Butler asked if it can be submitted at the next
<br />Commission meeting with the acceptance of the Project ?" Mr. Oesterling
<br />replied, "Yes."
