COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

C
Meeting Date: August 2, 2010
qCP
From: Phillip Oates, City Manager
Subject: Amendment to Quarry Agreement with West Construction
Company
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
The City of Seward entered into an agreement with West Construction Company in March 2010 to allow West to remove
rock from the Quarry for purposes of working with the Army Corps of Engineers to extend the breakwall in the Small
Boat Harbor. The Agreement provides for payment to the City, and the amount owed is now $97,000. West has the
equipment and trained personnel to blast and sort rock in the Quarry, and the City has a need for Class III and Class II
large riprap for future projects. The proposed amendment to the Agreement would allow West to pay the City by
producing and storing in the Quarry an amount of Class III and Class II riprap equivalent to the $97,000 amount owed to
the City. The City does not have the equipment and training to produce the riprap on its own.
