Agreement
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda:
- Professional Services Agreement - Coker Composting and Consulting
Mr. Al Greek, Environmental Services, stated Environmental Services hired Coker
Consulting to look at how to get the plant in more of a compliance state. He stated they have
huge piles of back- logged materials equal to 6,000 to 7,000 trailer trucks full of compost material
containing plastic debris. Mr. Greek stated they need to figure out what they are doing with it. He
noted the best option they have found to date will cost about $2,500,000.00, and that is with
Environmental Services doing some of the work. He noted a lot of the expense is from tipping
fees, fees to run the debris through filter machines, and land application costs. Mr. Inks stated he
understands there may be a need to use some of this by the City. Mr. Gilot stated there may be
some land -use application but it will have to be filtered a lot first. Mr. Greek stated he is asking
for Coker to do a request for proposals to see if there is anyone out there that can help clean up
this backlog. He noted the plant has never been successful in the past with hiring this out. Mr.
Greek stated that the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan was in similar situation, and they were able to
hire someone to help and it reduced their costs by about $450,000.00. He noted they are also
requesting to reduce the tipping fees and are currently working with the Clerk of the Board on
doing a public hearing that is required first. Mr. Gilot noted the Council is the one that approves
fees. Ms. Martin noted that this had been researched and by Resolution, the Board of Works was
given the authority to adjust these fees.
- Change Orders — Union Station Technology Center Electrical Equipment
Mr. Bill Schalliol, Community and Economic Development, stated he has submitted two
change orders, one is an increase for the switch gear and a decrease for the generators for this
project. Mr. Schalliol explained that they are taking out sound baffling equipment and putting the
generators outside. He noted this will require extra gaskets and weatherproofing equipment. Mr.
Inks asked if there is a decibel rating so it won't create a neighborhood noise issue. Mr. Schalliol
stated there is not.
- Access Agreements — Five Corners, LLC
Mr. Jitin Kain, Community and Economic Development, stated the City has agreed to pay for
the demolition of three (3) of eight (8) properties owned by Five Corners, LLC, located in the
AEP utility easement where the new State Road 23 alignment will go. Five Corners, LLC will
pay for the demolition of the other five (5) properties. Mr. Inks noted the funding will cover this
process because of the location of the poles in a utility easement. He stated if it was being
requested for private property, TIF funding regulations would not allow the City to pay for this.
- Request to Advertise for Bids — Primary Clarifier Rehabilitation Upgrades
Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, stated the design for the Primary Clarifier and
equipment is complete and they are ready to advertise for the construction. He noted they will be
adding automation that will allow them to push a button to do something that is currently
automated only. He stated that the upgrades put everything on the same type of system. Mr. Gilot
questioned if they are installing premium efficiency drives on the units, and variable efficiency
drives? Mr. Klosinski stated they are. He noted the upgrades will allow them to make
adjustments in overflows. Mr. Gilot questioned if there are any automated level detectors in the
system. Mr. Klosinski stated there are not any in the units. He added that the de- gritter unit,
which is kind of a dinosaur, is being replaced, noting this is all part of the overall CSO plan. Mr.
Gilot asked if a critical spare parts provision is included. Mr. Klosinski stated it does in a
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION
OCTOBER 18. 2012 337
provision for critical spare parts. Mr. Gilot questioned how long the whole process of upgrading
will take. Mr. Klosinski stated construction will take about two (2) years and potentially more.
Mr. Gilot stated that brings up the problem with wage rates. He noted they are set at the
beginning of the project so how will they be adjusted during the process? Mr. Klosinski stated
they can make the contractors aware at the pre -bid and issue an addendum. Toy Villa,
Construction Manager, stated they cannot do an addendum; they have to use the wage rates set at
bid time because that is what the contractors based their bid amount on. He noted the contractors
make adjustments in their pay, but it doesn't change the specifications. Mr. Gilot questioned if
they run into issues after the budget is set, do they have a process for adding in additional costs.
Mr. Klosinski stated only decreases should occur if they need to eliminate some of the
equipment. He stated they originally planned to split the bid into two contracts, but decided that
dealing with two different contactors on one project was not good.
The Clerk was instructed to post the agenda and notify the media and other persons who have
requested notice of the meeting agenda. No other business came before the Board. The meeting
adjourned at 12:36 p.m.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Carl Littrell, Engineering, stated no bids were received for the Century Center Lighting
Renovations project. He noted the Board asked Engineering to look at the problem and re-
advertise new specifications. He stated the problem is logistics on the part of Century Center and
he is asking that the Board extend the bid opening date instead, to November 6, 2012 to resolve
any ambiguities. Ms. Greene stated she has had feedback from contractors that the problem is a
specification problem with the work being requested and the late penalties. If Engineering is
going to come back with different specs, the project needs to be rebid. Mr. Littrell confirmed that
the schedule is a problem; the feedback received is there is insufficient time in any one place
with the work being performed around event rentals at the Century Center, and the liquidated
damages. Mr. Littrell stated he would like to go back to Century Center and tell them to block
out more time, otherwise they're going to have to expect the price to come back higher. Ms.
Greene noted if the bid is extended, we would have to provide an addendum to all plan holders
and she is not sure we can determine who they all are since no bids were received. Mr. Littrell
noted his request is due to the need to get the work done before Christmas. He added the law
requires that you make an announcement extending a bid opening at the time and place of the bid
opening. Mr. Gilot noted the Board has never extended a bid opening after the due date of the
bids and if the specifications are being redone, it should be rebid. Mr, Neal added there should
be a discussion with a finance person and a Century Center Board member to convey that this
has been made into a difficult project to get done given the amount of capital available.
Mr. Stan Miles with the Union Electrical Contractors stated he worked hard with the Century
Center and their agents to work through the specs, but some of the lead times on the project are
six (6) weeks out. He noted a lot of the contractors wanting to bid on the project were present
earlier at today's meeting, but had to bow out because they felt the work was too out of their
control. Some of them, he added, were concerned about the structural integrity of the building,
and whether it was able to hold the fixtures; and the liability being placed on the contractors.
Mr. Murray Miller, Local Union No. 645, questioned if the City provides uniforms for all
employees or just teamsters. Ms. Greene stated they are for teamsters and are bargained on and
agreed to.
Mr. Miller questioned if there was a reason the City rejected the bids for the Sewer Manhole
Rehabilitation. Ms. Greene stated the Board can award or reject by State law. In this case they
chose to reject. Mr. Miller questioned if they were cleaning up the bid specs and taking out the
prohibitive item, or leaving it? Ms. Greene stated she is not sure it is a question about prohibitive
items. Mr. Miller stated the specs request two - hundred (200) previous manholes constructed by
this method, what company has done this? Ms. Greene stated that was only one of the things they
looked at. She noted the Board has to have some comfort that the taxpayers are getting the best
work for the lowest amount. Mr. Miller stated there are other experience issues. If one company
has two (2) years and the other has one - hundred (100) years; that should be taken into
consideration. Ms. Greene explained that time experience is not paramount, experience in the
kind of work being requested is. She noted just because a contractor has poured concrete streets
for twenty (20) years doesn't qualify them to build a concrete sky - scraper. Mr. Miller noted that
a few years ago the City awarded a contract to a company for pouring streets in Eddy Commons,
and the company had never done that type of work before. Ms. Greene noted the award depends
on how the bid specifications are written. She added this Board is very aware of its legal duties
to the tax payers for competitive bidding at good prices. Mr. Gilot stated it is in the authority of
the Board to award or reject bids. He noted both bidders are good firms, but he wants the
Engineers to get back to the drawing board to write a spec that gives us a sound structural
manhole at a competitive price. He stated he is looking to see experience on a full monolith pour
for the whole height, and sound structure that's going to last a long time; longevity and
competitive price.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Mr, Gilot,
seconded by Mr. Neal and carried, the meeting adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
