Minutes of the Organizational Meeting of Council Monday, January 12, 2015 - Page 10 Ms. Wolgamuth added, it was a new thing. It was the transportation company which is separate from the Community Partnership. They retain the transportation coinpany. Council President Buckholtz stated, maybe we have to ask who bridges that gap. That's a gap in service. Mr. Jerome asked, what is our thought on the transportation? It's not worth the money? No one is using it? Ms. Wolgamuth replied, the transportation numbers are down but we don't really have the option to opt out of it. It's an all or nothing. We are in the Community Partnership doing everything or we are not. It's not ala carte. Mrs. Mills stated, usually Stacy comes to the meeting. She wasn't at our meeting this past week. The Commission asked Bill to ask her some questions. We try to stay on top of it as far as the seniors, but there's only so much we can do at a meeting. It's what Bill is saying. It's up to the Partnership to get out and talk to these people somehow, someway. I don't know how you would do that. Council President Buckholtz stated, you tell them that it passed by a slim vote because we are looking for participation. Mr. Saponaro stated, I don't think there's lack of people who would want to utilize it. It's really how does it work and to your point if it is more work because they can't get their wheelchair in, it becomes a deterrent and then people talk and will not do it. Request for architectural services and construction management in connection with construction of tlxe Comanunity Room (T'hen Design -$95,000). Ms. Wolgamuth reported, there was a memo in your packets. We got the change in scope to document the agreement that changes it from the rehab of the old building to a raze and rebuild. Obviously the numbers are substantially different. I didn't know if that seemed appropriate. I spoke to John Marrelli and Ron DiNardo and they both thought that was an appropriate number. Mr. DiNardo stated, that number is in line with what is customary, 5-7% range. Mr. Marrelli stated, I seem to remember last time when we were going through the police station production that the numbers were higher as far as percentage. I thouglnt it was more like 10% or 12% of the total cost. Mr. DiNardo replied, that was on a larger job with more work. This is a smaller job. Mr. Marrelli stated, it seemed to be in line. Ms. Wolgamuth stated, if you remember, when we went through the bid process, they were the low bid at $29,400. Some of the bids we got in for the rehab were in the $80,000-90,000 range, just for the remodeling.
