' BCgEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Roger Rosin/Roger's Painting Services - Painting
Bid/Kenai Community Library
Mr. Rosin stated that he had bid the Library painting job
approximately three months earlier. When he totalled his
figures, he did not add the costs for painting the trim. He did
not look at his bid until he received a letter from Public Works
stating that was awarded the job. Mr. Rosin stated that he finds
it difficult to do the job at the price given because of his
major mistake. Mr. Rosin requested to be released from the bid.
Mr. Rosin also stated that he thought it odd that the Public
Works Department did not find his error.
Public Works Director Kornelis stated that Mr. Rosin's proposal
was considerably lower than the next highest proposal. Mr.
Kornelis added that all the proposals were reviewed at the time
and they accepted the proposal. The proposal was reviewed and
accepted by Council. Mr. Kornelis brought Mr. Rosin's request
back to Council as he did not feel it appropriate that he
negotiate a price after the proposal was accepted. There were
three proposals received and to negotiate after the proposal
opening would not be fair to the others who submitted proposals.
The job did not need to be bid as the total cost was under
$10, 000.
Councilman Walker suggested that if Mr. Rosin is not willing to
do the work at the price he bid, then the work should be awarded
to the next lowest proposal, even if the proposal is for more
money.
Deputy City Attorney Graves stated that Mr. Rosin made a binding
offer. What Mr. Rosin is asking to do is an anticipatory breach.
The City could sue Mr. Rosin for the extra money the job would
cost to have completed. Councilman Measles asked if the job
could be re -bid or give the job to the next lowest bidder.
Attorney Graves stated that it would be the Council's decision
whether to take the next lowest bidder or not. It would also be
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
OCTOBER 3, 1990
PAGE 3
the Councll's decision whether to pursue damages from Mr. Rosin.
The Council should decide and tell Mr. Rosin their decision as it
may have an effect on whether Mr. Rosin backs out of the
proposal.
Mr. Rosin added that he has been in business over twenty years
and has made two or three mistakes in calculating a bid. When
those errors happened, the business taking the bid called and
stated they found an error. He is aware that it was his error.
He would like mercy from the Council.
Mayor Williams stated that there are four choices for the Council
to choose from: 1) Re -bid the job; 2) take the next highest
bidder; 3) take the next highest bidder or re -bid and pursue
damages; 4) take the next highest bidder or re -bid and do not
pursue damages. City Manager Brighton added another option. Ask
Mr. Rosin how far he was off on the original bid, add that amount
to his bid. It is possible he could still be the low bidder.
Mayor Williams added that would still be unfair to the other
bidders.
Councilwoman O'Reilly stated that it was an obvious error and
that Mr. Rosin does not want to do the job. The next lowest bid
'should be taken and do not pursue damages.
Councilwoman Swarner stated that she sympathizes with Mr. Rosin,
but the integrity of the City should be considered. Councilman
Smalley stated that a person cannot be forced to do the work. He
stated the job should be are -bid and not pursue damages.
An advisory vote was taken. Three voted to throw the bid out and
not sue. Three voted to take the next highest bidder and not
sue. One voted to take the bid and sue.
Councilman Measles asked that since it was not a formal bid, and
no bidding process is required under the Code, would it be
appropriate to negotiate this bid? Both legally and policy -wise.
Attorney Graves stated that the amount is under the $10,000
limit, but two other people have put in proposals for the work
and Mr. Rosin knows about those proposals. Councilman Measles
stated he meant for the City to make an offer to Mr. Rosin that
would still be under the next low bidder. Give Mr. Rosin an
opportunity to accept or reject the City's offer.
Mayor Williams stated that he felt consideration should be given
to the citizens Qf the City regarding a fair return for the money
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING

spent. Also consideration should be given the contractors who
have stayed in business. Mayor would hesitate to bring any
financial problems to bear on a local contractor who made an
honest error.
Councilman Smalley stated that he would consider issuing the job
to the next highest bidder with no recourse against Mr. Rosin as
it is not necessary to delay the project any longer.
Discussion followed regarding whose budget the money comes from
to pay for the job.
MOTIONt
Councilman Smalley MOVED that the Council accept Mr. Rosin's
rejection to do this work and offer the job to the next lowest
bidder and not take any recourse against Mr. Rosin. Councilwoman
O'Reilly SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Walker stated that errors are made by contractors and
that sometimes contractors must "bite the bullet" and follow
through with the contract, even to his disadvantage. Mr. Walker
felt that Mr. Rosin should go ahead with the work as agreed.
Mr. Kornelis was asked why there was so much time between the bid
opening and the awarding of the bid. Mr. Kornelis stated that
the proposals were opened on July 29, 1990 and the bid was
awarded September 19, 1990. The library took the proposals and
did the purchase order. Howard Hackney and Mr. Kornelis
discussed the proposals. Council approved the award on
August 15, 1990. It was after that Mr. Rosin spoke with Mr.
Hackney and asked to get out of the bid. This was discussed in a
staff meeting. Council said to take the bid. Administration
signed the award. Howard and Mr. Kornelis discussed why the
proposal was so low after the proposal was accepted.
COUNCILWOMAN MONFOR ARRIVED AT 7t44 B.M.
Mayor Williams stated that Administration handled the situation
properly by bringing the decision to Council. However, he felt
the Council should have been made aware of how much lower the bid
was sooner.

Mr. Kornelis added that after the Council accepted the proposal
in August, Mr. Rosin still had ninety days to decide to get out
of the bid. The bid was good for ninety days (until
September 17, 1990).
A synopsis of the discussion was told to Councilwoman Monfor,

Williams: Yes
MOTION PA88LD. The arrangement with Mr. Rosin should be canceled
and the next lowest bidder should be used. Mr. Kornelis asked
that at H-2 Council amend the list to include the new amount so
that the work can proceed.
Building Official Hackney stated that the next lowest bidder is
$2,000 more than Mr. Rosin's bid. There is not that much :coney
in the budget for that.
Mayor Williams asked permission, with the concurrence of
Councilman Smalley to rescind his former motion.
It was suggested that since there is no pertinent information in
the packet in regard to the other bids, that this item wait until
the next meeting.
RZ8CIND:
Councilman Smalley requested that the action be rescinded. There
were no objections. 80 ORDERED.
Mr. Hackney suggested that since Mr. Rosin left $3,680 out of his
bid, that amount be added to the $4,480 that Mr. Rosin bid and
give the job to Mr. Rosin. The total bid would then be $8,160,
There would still be a difference of $1,815 between Mr. Rosin's
bid and the next bidder. The previous motion would have given
the job to Thompson's Painting, the next bidder.
MOTION$
Councilman Measles MOVED for Council to offer to increase Mr.
Rosin's bid to $7,500 and give Mr. Rosin enough opportunity to
honor this bid and it gets the job done for the City, it keeps

the City out of a re -bidding process or problem with re -bidding
or accepting another bid. It also keeps Mr. Rosin out of any
possibility of any repercussion from the City because of a
mistake in his bid and maintains his bidding integrity with the
City and the City Council. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the
motion.
Mayor Williams stated to Mr. Rosin that what the Council is
offering is a contract for him to do the work at a higher bid
than he bid, but less than he proposed. There is still a penalty
involved, but one that will not bring a great deal of hardship.
Mr. Rosin stated that he would not have a problem with this
offer. He added that he would do the job for $4,480 if it would
hurt his reputation or cause ill feelings with the City of Kenai
or for the City to have to sue him.

a. eeautilication Committee
Councilman Walker inquired about the minutes of the September 111,
1990 Beautification Committee wherein it was decided to drop
placing banners in the summer and put the money into buying more
flowers, concrete for the flagpole settings, and new Christmas
decorations.
Mayor Williams stated that he has received comments from the
public requesting that more banners be placed. Perhaps some
direction should be given to the Beautification Committee to buy
more banners. Councilwoman Swarner stated that the banners that
were taken down are in very bad shape. The Bicentennial
Committee will be buying banners. Councilwoman Monfor stated
that they will be buying banners with bicentennial dates on them.
Their budget will not allow them to buy banners to place all over
town. Councilwoman Monfor suggested that she speak with the
Bicentennial Committee at their next meeting.
Councilwoman Swarner added that if new banners are purchased,_
they need to get equipment to put them up and take them down.
Councilman Measles suggested that different brackets be
purchased. Public Works Director Kornelis is to check with the
City of Soldotna and find out what kind of brackets they are
using as their banners have no problem in the wind.
Councilman Walker asked about Item 5 of the Beautification
Committee minutes where it speaks about landscaping a small park
and and behind Craycroft Chrysler. Mayor Williams stated that
p this proposed project was brought to his attention. He advised
Mr. Winston of the Council's intention to use that property for
the Fire Training School proposal. Clerk Freas is to forward
file information to the Beautification Committee as,to the plans

it was decided that Administration should bring a resolution
before Council setting aside ten acres of land. Councilman
Smalley added that grant programs do not fund if the grantee does
not own the property. Public Works Director Kornelis and Finance
Director Brown agreed. Also it was discussed that there may be a
problems with the City making a large donation to one entity. It
was decided that the resolution to be brought to Council should
be generic, not naming any specific program, but holding the land
in reserve.
H-8. Discussion - Dan Hakkinen Bluff Property.
Mayor Williams reported that he spoke with Mr. Hakkinen regarding
the City purchasing the bluff property. He stated that he must
have misunderstood the price quoted to him the first time they
talked. The price now asked is $155,000 which is three times
more than the Mayor is willing to give. There has been no more
discussion at this time.
City Manager Brighton reported that Mr. Dale Dolifka has
approached him in regard to the City's purchase of the Louisa
Miller property along the bluff. Mr. Dolifka owns the property,
but wishes to sell it. The property includes a house and other
out buildings. He is asking in the area of $100,000 for all of
it. Mayor Williams is to talk to Mr. Dolifka.
H-9. Discussion - Stream Rehabilitation and Fraying
Area.
The discussion should read "Stream Rehabilitation and Frying
Area.' Mayor Williams stated that this discussion would have
coincided with the Hakkinen property discussion.
Councilwoman Swarner stated that she thinks the City should give
some thought to planting grass along the bluffs and streams to
stop the erosion.
H-10. Approval - Rate Changes at City Dock.
City Manager Brighton stated that the rate changes reflect what
is happening in the oil and gas market.
