Mounds View City Council January 28, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if there are faults can the contractor be held accountable or is the 1 <br />City just stuck. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Director Lee indicated that the consultant has verified that everything that the contractor is 4 <br />responsible for has been completed. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Council Member Mueller said that the only concern she has is the change orders that came 7 <br />through were a surprise to her. She then said that she saw in the information the original contract 8 <br />amount was $244,675.44 but the revised amount is $287,954.04 and she wants to make sure that 9 <br />bid was kept within the right place to award it. Her concern is that anyone can come in and be a 10 <br />low bidder if they think that they can sneak in a bunch of change orders later on. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mayor Marty said that after this was bid out the biggest charge was the fact that the building had 13 <br />to be strengthened because it was a public facility. He then said that a whole new water line was 14 <br />required. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that it was the City that generated the change orders not the 17 <br />contractor. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Mayor Marty asked if the mold or soils correction is at all related to the fact that it was built too 20 <br />low. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Director Lee indicated that it was not and provided explanation. 23 <br /> 24 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7215, 25 <br />Acceptance and Final Payment Approval. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Council Member Stigney said that the discussion brought up a lot of things on people’s minds 28 <br />regarding change orders. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that there is no harder pill to swallow than change orders. 31 <br /> 32 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 33 <br /> 34 <br />9.
