· on uompany an~ from uaniel Neff of Russell & Axon (copies

F. T. Kain, City Manager
Janet Paterson, Deputy City Clerk
Mr. Boos asked if it would be possible to split the award of
contract due to the vast difference in price between Intercounty
Construction and Southern Line Cle~ing Company on certain items.
Mr.VanG~tti' answered that no contract can be broken into parts
and stated that Intercounty would not accept less than the whole
con2ract. Mr. Kain said he felt that if both companies would
agree, the contract could be split. Mr, Vanditti again said
his company would not accept only a part of the contract. Mr.
Tenent of 'Russell & Axon said he felt Southern Pipe Cleaning
might also have reservations abou~ doing just a portion of the
work.
Mr. Tenent discussed the contract item by item. Mr. Banks asked
if this sealing would bring the joints back up to their original
standard. Mr. Vanditti said that this was the claim.of the manu-
facturers, but there was not too much background available. Mr.
Banks asked how many joints needed repairing and Mr. Carnahan
advised that this was an unknown factor at this point.
Mr. Boos asked Mr. Carnahan if it would be his recommendation
to let the contract at the $29,156.20 figure. Mr. Carnahan
indicated that he had made the recommendation at the meeting
of May 16 that the line be rebuilt~ but that Russell & Axon
had recommended repair and Council had endorsed that recommend-
ation.
Mr. Kain recommended that l) Council move to have the mayor and
the city clerk sign the contract awarding the bid to Intercounty,
and 2) Council authorize the city manager to issue a letter to
proceed to the engineers to authorize the contractor to begin
work. Mr. Boos so moved and Mr. Banks seconded the motion.
Minute~ of Special Council Meeting, June 7, 1966
Mr. Banks then stated that the reason that he was voting for
this was not because he thought it was the proper way to handle
the matter, butbecause of the emergency and the ~oney it is
costing the city. He said he wss not in favor of patching the
line~ but he felt it should be permanently repaired.
Mayor Madsen called for the vote, reminding Council that they
~-o.Were to vote for the contract as a single unit. Motion carried
Mr. Carnahan asked if after we have perfected items i and 2,
repair of known leaks, then go to 3 and ~ where the l~es are
cleaned and inspected, we may then run into an area where we
have a grade separation. We might have to adjust the flow llne
of these pipes. How do we cover this? Mr. Spencer said such
an event would be covered by items ~ and 6. Mr. Vanditti said
that if any work were encountered which was not covered in the
contract, then Intercounty would have to ~sort to that portion
of the contract which provides for extra work. The company
would then have to negotiate with the city.
Mr. Tenent said he didn,t anticipate this happening from what
he had seen with the T.V. camera. Mr. Boos felt that if there
is a two-inch deflection~ there woul~ be a teak and that would
be covered by the contract.
Mr. Tenent said he f~l~ Mr. Carnahan had brought up a good point,
and under the terms of the contract a change order could be
worked up if necessary? Mr. Madsen cited the good work-Inter-
county had done for the city in the past and Mr. Vanditti
assured him they would endeavor to do their best.
