Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, September 16, 2013 <br />Page 8 <br />The Motion was amended to read: <br />Motion to authorize additional expenditure in an amount not to egceed $5,000 for <br />the restroom project at the soccer fields. (Change order). <br />Mrs. Mills,. seconded by Mr. Marrie made a motion to authorize additional expenditure in an <br />amount not to exceed $5,000 for the restroom project at the soccer fields. (Change order). <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any discussion? There was a lot of discussion on this in <br />Finance. This is to move the building to a slightly different location. <br />Mr. Marrelli stated, due to soil conditions. <br />Council President Buckholtz sta.ted, the question came up at Finance whether there _was a <br />contingency. Usually when we do this large bids, there's a 10%-15% contingency. <br />Mr. Marrelli stated, if you recall, Council was not fully in agreement on the contract price in the <br />beginning. The project almost didn't get off the ground. We weren't going to put another <br />$30,000 into it for contingencies. In order to get it approved, we tried to keep it down to as low <br />as possible. We didn't add a contingency to it. We didn't anticipate having to need a I <br />contingency. As soon as they started digging, we found out we needed it. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any other questions or discussion? <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, as I said at Finance, I think $300,000 was more than we should have been <br />spending on this project in the beginning. I won't be supporting any additional money for this. <br />Mr. Marrelli sta.ted, that was the lowest bid. I think it was aotually $273,000 for the building. A <br />lot of that was utilities. It is what it is if that's what it is going to cost to put that building there <br />and have sewer, water and electric. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, it was also brought up whether this would be something that <br />would be on the contractor. Mr. Marrelli stated, it's not. <br /> <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, I believe Mr. Dinardo said typically soil borings are on the <br />landowner and not the contractor. <br />Mr. Dinardo stated, normally the cost for soil borings is azound $3,000-3,500. We would have <br />went ahead and paid for that and found out we would have had to move the building or pay the <br />$4,000 to actually move the building so it is essentially a wash.. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, I understand. Are there any other comments?
