Paving.

Billy McCann and Mayor Eugene H. Mnrin.

DPW Director Nets 0. K.ielstad and Project Engineer Harold 11, r,,,lliptt, Jr.
Oalliett presented material on the Water, Sewer, Streets and Paving Projprts say..
inq we had done well in holding to the budget: that we had not exro"ded it in
construction costs.
The Water, sewer and associated streets Project (EDA 00271) was discussed
first: Change orders, approved by EDA, 1 to 15 were briefly reviewed; change
orders, to be approved, 16 to 24, have been accomplished; change orders 25 to
28, anticipated change orders,were discussed. Streets is the only project to
have an over -run in the amount of $2,000.00. Contingency allowances on the over-
all projects will take care of this over -run. The revised budget will allow an
increase in engineering fees (necessary because of the hours spent on change
orders), a decraase in Administrative and Legal costs, deletion of financing
costs and an increase V interest costs. The total costs remains the same. Of
the Total $60,000.00 allowed for equipment, $30,000 has already been spent for
the Cat Grader.
Discussion on need for equipment revealed the City needs: water testing
equipment; sweeping equipment for the streets; valve and pipe finders; lear,•'cle-
tectors; trucks and graders.
The CIty has about 7,000 ft. of paved streets. If sub -divisions Kira in-
cluded, there are about 10 miles of paved streets.
Construction on all projects should be over in about one month; the assess-
ment rolls should be done by the end of the month. This will allow the City to
get notices mailed out and money coming in to meet the interest payment on the
bonds which amounts to about $75,000.00 a .year.
It, is hoped there will be money left over to accomplish some of the improv-
ments that are badly needed; i.e. water, sewer and streets in some of the resident-
ial districts.
The original contract on paving was reviewed with change orders already done; Har-
rison reviewed in detail the change orders Nos. 3 and 4 - totalling $5,863.34 which
have already been accomplished. Change orders 5,6 and 7 are suqqested, and were
discussed. The paving to tie in Marine and Main Streets with the Spur Hwy. were
adjudged to be necessary; Paving on Willow would be torn up later on, so was dis-
carded.
McCann moved, Bailie seconded, to approve change orders on paving Nos. 3,4,5
and authorize the periodic pay estimate No. 2 in the amount of $31,393.21. Motion
carried -unanimously by roll call vote.
Cone moved, Bailie seconded, to instruct the engineer to prepare Change Order
No. 6. Main St. Paving, and to approve this change order. Motion carried unanimously
by roll call vote. ($3,000.00 approx.)
Bielefeld moved. McCann seconded, to accept the budget review as presented by
the Engineer on water, sewer, associated streets and paving. Motion passed unani-
mously by roll call vote.
