South B nd Redevelopment Commission <br />Page 5 <br />July 7, 1978 <br />6. NEWIBUSINESS, Continued <br />Mr. Brownell: The letter of July 6, 1978, signed by Kenneth Schaller, in- <br />dicates that the bid specs specified replacement of the front porch. When <br />the contractor removed the old deck he discovered a heavy infestation of <br />termites. This office verified the condition after bids were accepted, and <br />contracted for extermination of the structure. The change order called <br />for replacement of box sill, (20 ft), replacement of floor joists (24 <br />fee ) and replacement of air bracings, for a total increase in contract <br />pri e of $125.00. <br />Mr. Robinson: I have a question: it says the bid specs call for replacement <br />rof the front porch and now we get an addition because he has to replace the <br />sill. Shouldn't that have been included in the original bid if he was <br />goitig to replace the front porch? <br />Mr. <br />Mr. <br />Schaller: Perhaps that was misleading, it actually was the front porch deck. <br />Robinson: That is not what it says. <br />Mr, Schaller: I understand what you are saying but the bid specs say <br />"re lace the deck ". <br />Mr. Robinson: In other words, if we added the word "deck" after your "re- <br />pla ement of front porch" would that make it correct? <br />Ken; <br />Mr. <br />the <br />Mr. <br />Mr. <br />of i <br />Mr. <br />Mr. <br />for <br />Mr. <br />take <br />If you add that, sure. <br />Robinson: Then the $125.00 is to replace the rest of the materials for <br />front porch? <br />Schaller: As listed on the Change Order. <br />Robinson: Plus the labor - my next question is: was the extermination <br />termites in the original bid specs anyway? <br />Schaller: For the structure, no. <br />Robinson: Then where did that money come from, there is no Change Order <br />that. <br />Schaller: We contracted separately for an extermination company to <br />care if this work. <br />Mr. Wiggins: But what he is saying is "where is the cost of that work, you <br />did 't get the extermination done for nothing did you? <br />Mr. <br />Mr. <br />Schaller: No. <br />Robinson: Where did that money come from? <br />Mr, Schaller: From our contractual services budget - in the past, as long as <br />I h ve been with the Bureau, for work such as extermination we have been <br />all wed to accept bids from several extermination firms and proceed with <br />the extermination work. <br />
