~4IMUTES <br />City Council <br />June 10, 1987 <br />Curbing Mr. Lance 0'Banion, reported that his drivew, <br />C,oncerns and he is not satisfied. 0'Banion felt that <br />(Cont.) in place was not what was represented on the <br />Mr. Buche reported that he measured the rise <br />determined it to be 6 1/4 inches rather than <br />on the diagram. <br />~y has been replaced, <br />the curbing that was <br />Engineer's diagram. <br />in the curb and <br />the 5 inches represented <br />Mr. Blesener reported that he looked at the curbing as well as the <br />curbing in other areas, and. agreed with the property owners that <br />the rise ~~as high. <br />0'Banion felt that the issue may be with the contractor installinp <br />the wrong curb. <br />The Engineer did not feel this was the case. <br />Fahey suggested that the City should not be using such a high curb <br />and felt the Engineer should be authorized to work with the property owners <br />on an individual basis. If the problem lies with the contractor, <br />the contractor should pick up the cost of cuhb cuts for individual <br />property owners. However, if specs have been met and a property <br />owner wants a curb cut, the cost should be added to the project. <br />Mr. Steele pointed out that the contractor will be replacing driveways <br />and that he u~anted his whole driveway done. NoNiever, the contractor <br />was not in a position to replace the whole driveway. Steele asked <br />if he had another contractor replace the driveway, if the City would <br />credit him for the 11 feet of driveway that the City's contractor <br />is to replace. <br />Fahey repliecl that this could not be done as the replacement of <br />driveways is part of the total project and was a bid price. <br />The City Engineer pointed out that the contractor's equipment is too <br />large to be used for replacing entire residential driveways. <br />Steele asked if he could have his blacktop placed somewhere else. <br />The Engineer pointed out that the contract calls for replacement of <br />disturbed areas and that the contractor will not be going beyond <br />property lines unless there is a special reason. <br />P4r. Dick Henningsen asked if only the cost of curb and gutter was <br />going to be assessed. <br />Fahey replied that the overlay work would also be assessed at a <br />cost of 80% to property owners and 20% on general taxes. Curb and <br />gutter will be assessed at 100% to property owners. <br />Mr. Henningsen was concerned that he was not informed of public <br />Page -11- <br />
