R-li. Approval - Construction Change Directive No. 3 -
Relocation of Fire Sprinkler Riser/Kenai Congregate
Housing Project/$5,600.07,
NOTtONi
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Change order No. 3 and
Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion for discussion.
Measles asked if this is another design error. Kornelis stated
thatafter the project was bid, the contractor went to the
elevator people with the specific elevator that they wanted to
install in the building and the elevator people said that more
space would be needed for the equipment for this particular
elevator. The only way to get additional room needed, was to
take'the area right next to it which was where the fire sprinkler
riser was designated to be placed. The riser needed to be
relocated to an area under the.stairs. Kornelis, stated that he
did not believe it was a design error as much it was trying to
accommodate the elevator equipment people for their equipment
chosen to be placed in the building.
Measles asked if a different elevator was chosen than what was in
the original design. Kornelis stated that the choice of
elevators was somewhat left open because of the laws allowing for
a.designated elevator or equal. The elevator company whioh..is
providing the elevator, equipment, was found to be an equal..
Kornelis stated that. the need for thie'changs in.the directive
could be a combination of bobs, design error and more time could
have been:spent to investigate the space requirement. Kornelia
added that.the contractor Is not at all'.at fault.
Measles stated that he wass.more concerned about turning to0.the
architect to recover the cost of this changre,. Kornelis stated
that he is.in the middle of negotiations with the architect*.

Kornelis reminded Council that the architect is requesting
additional funds. The architect was to be here tonight to
present their case to the Council, but the principal, who was to
make the presentation, was not able to make the meeting. They
will be attending the May 6, 1992 meeting.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION:
Councilman Smalley requested to make a friendly amendment to
include the comment "no -to -exceed amounts." Swarner agreed to
the amendment.
Councilman Walker asked Kornelis if the elevator that was chosen
was substantially less expensive. Kornelis stated that he did
not know the specifics in regard to the elevators. Walker asked
if the elevator included in the bid had been used, would the
change be required. If not, he would not support the change.
Kornelis stated he did not know the answer to that question.
Kornelis added that this work must be done in order that the work
continue. The mechanical workers are being held up.
MOTION:
Councilman Walker MOVED to table this item until answers are
found to these questions. (Walker added that he believes the
City is taking the brunt for $5,000 to a contractors change to
save his some money.)
VOTES
Smalley: No Williams: No Walker: Yes
Swarner: No Monfor: No Measles: No
McComsey: Absent
MOTION FAILED.
Smalley stated he voted no because he felt the contractor was not
at fault, at this time, and the questions voiced can still be
investigated by Kornelis. Williams stated that he believed this
to be an architect error. An item this major should have been
investigated and understood as it is an integral part of the
building. The Council will have to have a major discussion as to
• whether they want to continue the architect's services as a
construction manager or fire them. Williams added that it isa
major dilemma which can be stopped by firing the architect.

Everything completed thus far can be laid ,to.the responsibility
of the architect and inspection team. A new architect/inspector
would be responsible for items from that period on. Whatever
happens, there will have to be a third party mediator. This will
probably have major ramifications to the budget and concerns to
the City. Kornelis should be specific as.to these items when
dealing with the architect.
Kornelis stated that he is doing that. He is reviewing items
with the architect and they are noting which are whose fault and
whether the contractor is causing extra time. Kornelis stated
that Council may wish to discuss with the architect and
contractor in a work session.
Walker stated that he still has a strong question of whether the
16 change needing to be done was a matter of choice of the
contractor to make the change. If change. if it was a necessity,, he willsupport
not support the
Y. the change.
Measles stated he understood Walker's concern. However, the work
cannot be stopped for $50,000. Measles stated he wanted the
minutes to reflect that if the change is approved, it is approved
with the reservations of rights for recovery from the responsible
parties. This does not need to be part of the motion, as it is
the right of the City.
Kornelis stated that this is a Constructive Change Directive and
is different than a change order. The directive tells the
contractor to do the work and that at a later time, the actual
cost will be determined. The contractor has given a price.and
the City (if approved) is saying to do the work and latex the
cost will be determined. The cost will not exceed the amount
stated on the directive. If it,is found that the work should -not
have cost the City anything, then the change order would not go
into effect as.a result of the directive.
Kornelis added that the City is directing the contractor to
relocate the fire sprinkler room from the location that was ors
the drawings to under the stairs. Williams asked how the work
would be coordinated with the architect. Kornelis stated that
the directive is signed'by the architect. The work has to be
done. Williams stated that it is his understanding that

Williams asked if there is anything in writing with the architect
that the City may not consider this work the responsibility of
the City. Kornelis stated it will be fought out later. Williams
asked if he would issue a letter with the directive, disallowing
responsibility with the City or that the City may decide at a
later date that it is not responsible for the work. The letter
would put the architect on notice. Kornelis stated he could do
that.

Kornelis stated that the fire sprinkler system was not designed
by the architect, but by a sprinkler design company. The project
specifications stated that the contractor was to hire the
designer for it. The specifications only referred to Model G
sprinkler heads. There was nothing for the City to review until
after the job was bid. Kornelis added that when they did receive
the design, after the bid, Hackney and Chief Burnett jointly
wrote a letter which stated that residential and
heads are required. The contractor used a quick response
for the Mod

because they questioned the cost of the difference between the
quick response and commercial heads. Kornelis stated that he

Approval - Purchase of Lot 13, Block 10, Cook Inlet
Industrial Air Park from Airport Land System for Future
Expansion of the New Kenai Courthouse or Other Public
Use.
Administrative Assistant Howard referred to her memorandum
included in the packet. Howard stated that the City has had an
appraisal performed on Lots 108 lip 12 and 13, Block 1, Cook
Inlet Industrial Air Park. These are the lots previously leased
to Grace Drilling, The FAA must review the appraisal and concur
with the value before the property can be released from the
Airport Land System. This property is where the courthouse will
be built. The courthouse will require the use of three of the
lots (Lots 10-12). Howard requested direction from Council
regarding Lot 13. Does the Council wish to purchase Lot 13 from
the Airport Land System and retain it for courthouse facility
expansion or other public use?
Student Councilman Monfor stated he felt it was a good time to
purchase the property. Student City Manager Sorenson stated that
he thought the property should remain on the market. Student ...
Councilman Parker stated that if the City does not purchase the
property, and later wishes to, there may be an increase in the
cost. Howard stated that the land would need to be appraised
again at that time. The appraisal is good for six months. The
cost to the City is fair market value. Howard added that if the
property is set aside for public purpose, it can later be decided
to sell.
Discussion followed regarding the City trust fund and how it
works in relation to reserving the property for public use or
selling the property. Brighton reminded Council that property
was set aside for the National Guard (future public use). The
property remains in the City's control. City Attorney Graves
stated that property could be reserved for public use and in the
future, if Council decides it no longer wants the property
reserved, it can be unreserved and made available for sale.
Graves suggested that any questions regarding FAA's opinion.of
reserving airport lands, should be referred to the FAA.
