6. NEW BUSINESS <br />g. Continued <br />Mr. ohnson: We don't have the power to negotiate the itemized <br />pric s with the contractor. We accept the lowest bidder. This is <br />to s y, their line item price can exceed ours by $100 to $200. <br />Mr. 4obinson: All this other work has been done then? <br />Mr. ohnson: They are in the process of doing the work, yes. It is <br />unde way. <br />The hair: Does Slatile do the plumbing and electrical work? <br />Mr. ohnson: They subcontract it. We do find it i.n the body of�the <br />contract, you can see the difference between the sub prices and the <br />overhead that the general is paying. <br />Mr. �obinson: Let me ask one more question. Does the council have <br />to a prove this added increase too? <br />Mr. rownell: They don't take it back to the council after it leaves <br />here It has already been approved as being over $5,000. <br />Mr. utler: If we have something like $4,500,that is not approved <br />by t e council initially. If we get a change order that takes it <br />over $5,000, then it has to go back to the council. <br />Mr. rownell: You don't take change orders back to the council, <br />once the council has approved it. <br />Motion was made by Mr. Robinson and seconded (reluctantly) by Mr. <br />Dona dson, to approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract SECD /PR /CS- <br />5/40 for a net increase in contract price of $986.00 for an amended <br />contract total of $7,199.00. Motion carried. <br />Mr. �obinson stated that he hoped the new policy would work out <br />bett r than this item. <br />The hair: As a matter of overall policy, it seems to me that there <br />is a limited amount of money to do this kind of work, and a lot of <br />home in this community that need work done on them. I would hate <br />to s e us going past what would be a reasonable and almost minimum <br />kind of approach on this thing, so that as many of the homes as <br />possible can be handled under the amount of money we have to spend. <br />It w uld seem to me that it would be something of a neglect of our <br />resp nsibility if we were to wind up with a few people having better <br />than average places out of this, and a lot of people sitting there <br />"han ing" with nothing. <br />-10- <br />
