Oates stated the contract revisions did not come back from the Attorney to add as a laydown
but he had two substantial changes to be made to the contract. Oates needed to add the insurance and
indemnification language and wished to present a change that would give the contractor an added
bonus for early completion, but was still within the resolution funding amount. This additional
incentive could possibly move the levee completion up to June 18, 2011.
In response to questions, Finance Director Kristin Erchinger stated the $90,000 was part of
the contingency amount. She also wanted it known that the non - responsive bid was not the lowest
bid.
Amendment (Bardarson /Shafer Amend the contract language that removed
"$45,000" and added the wording "$500 per
day for no more than 180 days prior to
9/15/2011" and adds a new section I that
added insurance verbiage naming the city as
an additional insured, must be rated B+ by
BEST, provide 30 -day notice by default and
waiver of subrogation language.
Amendment Passed Unanimous
Main Motion Passed as Amended Unanimous
