<br /> Council Bill No. 8990 ~ Levying assessments for sanitary sewer in area north 300' and south 160'
<br /> , ,
<br /> of southerly east/west section of Floral Hill Drive and between north/south section of Floral Hill Drive
<br /> and Riverview Street was -submitted and read in full ,the f~rst t:j..me, ,on September 8; 1969 and ,heI.d, over
<br /> to this meeting to allow properi~notice of assessment ,to be given owners of affected properties, and
<br /> was brought back for consideration ~ith one written protest on file.
<br />- A',:letter was read ,from .MrS" Paul ,Blumenstein, stating the contrac~was not awarded to the. low 'bidder,
<br /> and she felt the assessment was excessive. Public Works Director ,said hi's'officel hadsupplie'd Mrs.
<br /> Blumenstein with most of the estimates and figures on this project. The 'low bidder claimed a mistake
<br /> on his bid in interpreting the plans. The staff met with him and recognized pis error, and brought the
<br /> matter back before the' Council, where the bid was rejected as a mistake. One quarte~ of the project
<br /> ran into rock work, and the contractor had to be compensated for this. The project was ~.redesigned8 to
<br /> avoid some of ,the rock. ' The City has no effective way to back out, of a project when it becomes a
<br /> problem area.
<br /> In answer to Dr. Purdy's question, Public Works Director said regardless of where rock appears on the
<br /> project, the whole project is assessed for its entirety. The line serves all the property and each pays
<br /> a proportionate share. There are methods of determining where the rock would, be, but the City's '
<br /> cost would be too high to be feasible. ......
<br /> Mrs. Blumenstein felt there, should ,be some limitation as to percentage over contract estimate. She was
<br />I sure the City was protected, and felt the property owners should also pe protected. Publ~c Works
<br /> Director said in past years the City triedl to put the burden on the contractor, but things have changed,
<br /> and the legal staff has .ruled if.. contractor runs into difficult conditions', h~ must be. paid-.'
<br /> , .
<br /> Mrs. Hayward commented it seemed if the contractor had the burden of the difference, the bids would
<br /> , all run higher. . Mr. Allen agreed.
<br /> - . ~'. , , , , .'\ ,
<br /> Mr. Teague asked for a report. suggesting a method so that, people would know of possible excessive costs
<br /> ahead of time. Mr. Allen said that no matter what method was used, it wuld add to the cost of the
<br />e project.

<br /> 'Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. ,McDonald. that the bill be read the second time by council bill
