South Beno Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meting - October 7, 1977 <br />6. NEW BOSINESS (CONT'D <br />t ree steps. Upon removal of the porches, it was detected that the <br />g ade was four to eight inches lower. The unexposed foundation needed <br />t ck pointing, and there is a basement window on grade that required a <br />w ndow well, and 12 sq. ft. of walkway is needed to compensate the <br />d stance of the old porch and new steps. It was also detected that <br />ten feet of the 10 in. chimney flue must be installed due to the <br />condition of the breaks of the unexposed portion of the chimney. <br />M . Brownell explained that part of it they weren't aware of. <br />M . Robinson gai'd that he could understand the tuck pointing, the basement <br />window, and the other things, what he couldn't understand was the four <br />y rds of dirt and all the other things. "The contractor should have <br />realized this when he put in his bid, this is what I am debating; and <br />I don't feel we should allow that portion of it." Mr. Nimtz said <br />- he specifications may have called for the installation of the walkway, <br />I presume that if they were going to take off the porch, they should <br />have realized the walkway was to be in there. As to the grade, I do <br />not know, if you can't see it, and if you don't look under there, you <br />d n't know what the grade is, but the specifications should have called <br />f )r the walkway, that I will agree on. Mr. Wiggins mentioned that the <br />oily real contention was the hauling of four yards of grading. He <br />agreed with Mr. Robinson on his points of view. Mr. Davis made this <br />p int to Mr. Nimtz, "Of course you realize, if they don't haul the black <br />dirt in, that there will be water standing around the house, which is <br />eventually going to fall apart." Mr. Robinson felt that everytime <br />a contractor finds something wrong, they come back to the Commission <br />f r some more money, and I feel it is ridiculous. Mr. Wiggins moved <br />a proval for $558.00 (with the exception of the hauling of the dirt), <br />s conded by Mr. Cira, and carried. <br />m. M-. Brownell described Change Order #1 to Contract #NWCD /3B with <br />B ittain's Construction Company, for an increase in contract price of <br />$ 20.00 (for an amended contract total of $3,323.00). Mr. Richard E. <br />Pfeifer explained that the doors were detected, but due to high bids <br />t ey were cut off. The doors are now in bad shape, and the people <br />d nit have any way of locking the doors. Mr. Wiggins moved approval, <br />s conded by Mr. Donaldson, and carried. <br />n. C <br />mmission approval was requested <br />for the following <br />contracts (including <br />acknowledgement <br />of bid amendment <br />to contract #3). <br />Bid Amendment Reduced To: <br />C <br />arles Brown Maintenance Service <br />$37,288.00 <br />$32,P3.00 <br />H <br />well Electric Company <br />$12,484.00 <br />$11,590.00 <br />R. <br />A.
