Regular Council Meeting <br />9-24-01 <br />Page 9 <br />Mr. Cappello: Yes, correct. Grinding and resurfacing their existing asphalt streets and in Beechers <br />Brook, a section there we are going to top. <br />Mr. Buckholtz: Mayor, in Finance we discussed it and it comes out to be about $100,000 1ess than <br />was appropriated. <br />Mayor Rinker: No, I think we are almost doubling... <br />Mr. Cappello: The original contract, which I have here, if you went with the base bid--the $196,000 <br />which we approved and which was under construction--Option 2 was to do Hickory Hill, to <br />resurface it and that was $383,000 using the more expensive material as far as for reflective <br />cracking. We actually had another option, I was talking about before, an Option 3 which was about <br />$50,000 less using a more standard geotextile fabric. With a geograde, you are supposed to get 3 <br />more years from it, plus or minus. But that total was $332,000. I apologize for throwing numbers <br />out there. Mayor Rinker: No, no, no, that's all right. I have seen, but my understanding is that we have gone <br />through and we have worked on and we have identified all the concrete work on the streets... <br />Mr. Cappello: Correct. <br />Mayor Rinker: and we have patched those up. And then, are we saying that the work done on <br />Hickory Hill is not... <br />Mr. Cappello: No, originally we would have had to have done the concrete repair also as part of <br />this. It's just that we decided that, in the process of bidding, we figured we'd probably wait until next <br />year. We got a number, we know what the approximate cost would be to do this work and it was <br />decided before not to do it this year. <br />Mayor Rinker: That's my question. Are we now saying it's going to be done this year? Because in <br />effect what we are doing is we're doubling the amount of money that we are spending.... <br />Mr. Cappello: My understanding is yes, at the Council Meeting back in July we approved Option 1 <br />only and that is what we did. The contractor was signed based on Option 1. <br />Mayor Rinker: I am just trying to understand--what is the impetus for doing this? <br />Mr. Brett: But this is an alternative to Option 1. <br />Mr. Cappello: In the bid itself, you had the 3 options. We signed off on Option 1 which was the <br />$196,000. <br />Mayor Rinker: We basically agree that we have to do all the concrete work. <br />Mr. Cappello: Yes.
