Page 7 <br /> May 26, 1998 <br /> Mounds View City Council <br /> City Attorney Long told the Council that the Community Center was being developed in two <br /> phases. The first phase was the development of the child care center. At the time contracts were <br /> signed for the first phase there was no grant involved so the prevailing wage requirements did not <br /> apply to this contract. Phase two of the project is the construction of the community center. <br /> Under this phase there is a grant that is being used to partially fund construction. Both the City <br /> staff and City Attorney overlooked the prevailing wage section of the second phase contracts <br /> thinking that they were the same as the first phase contracts. <br /> City Attorney Long told the Council they had two motions before them to consider in an effort to <br /> resolve the prevailing wage issue. The first motion being,to approve the cancellation agreement <br /> and release of claims, essentially terminating the contract with the non-prevailing wage <br /> contractor. If this first motion is approved there is a second motion to approve the recommended <br /> new contract, including specific language as prepared by the City Attorney's office. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn to approve the cancellation agreement and release of claims <br /> between the City of Mounds View and M. Reinhart Drywall Inc. <br /> VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion Carried <br /> Jerry Linke, 2319 Knoll Drive, stated he had been to the City offices and had found a letter <br /> from the construction manager reiterating about a phone conversation where the City had made a <br /> comment that the City was willing to settle the contract out for$15-20,000. He asked if there <br /> was any thought given to require the contractor to go to prevailing wage; was the contractor <br /> asked if he would do that. <br /> Administrator Whiting stated that the contractor was asked to honor the prevailing wage and, in <br /> fact, was asked to supply union workers. <br /> Mr. Linke told the Council that the contractors on this job are not filing the proper AIA <br /> documents, forms G702 and G703, for their requests for payment. These forms are required by <br /> the general conditions of the contract documents, he said. He continued saying that there were <br /> no change orders in the job files. There has been a change order approved by the Council for <br /> HVAC work. There are letters referring to some possible changes, but no change-order request <br /> forms could be found in the job files for the HVAC work. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Koopmeiner to approve the new standard contract with specific <br /> language as prepared by the City Attorney's office. <br /> VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion Carried <br /> E.
