OLD BUSINESS a copy of the resolution a · Request fo~ P~oposals- ,F__.l. oat_.P, iane B,,,,a. sin Chairman Measles reiterated the request that the Committee consider the project from the Council done in two phases. Public Works Director Kornelis asked to speak on the design-buiid aspect. Hr. Korneiis expIained severaI reasons for no~ adopting ~he design-buiid ~ype of bid which incIude: ~oo many variabIes ~o be abie ~o have an accurate estimate for ~he contractor; design-buiId projects are very cos~iy; mus[ consider ~hat if ~he projec~ goes ou~ ~o bid and it is de~ermined ~ha~ i~ is ~oo cos~iy, the City may ~hen be open ~o cIaims for ~he cos~. The City has done ~wo design-buiid projec[s and ~hey bo~h proved ~o be cos~iy and wouId have AIRPORT COMMITTEE Ma~eh 22, 1984 Page 2 been far mo~e difficul~ if i~ had not been for ~ good working ~elationship wi~h ~he contractor. As example, the gym p~ojee~ had 11 change o~de~s. The designer is going ~o have ~o ~8ke in~o consideration ~he elevation as flooding could occu~. The~e have been p~oblems in ~he 8~ea wi~h flooding in ~he pas~. The City will have ~o ~equire ~he eon~rac~o~ ~o have ~ $1 million p~ofessional liability omissions and e~o~s insurance. The o~he~ ~hing ~ha~ needs ~o be done is a soils sampling. Don't wan~ ~o' begin digging and the cont~acto~ could find that the soils a~e saturated and pumping wiIi be ~equi~ed o~ that the soiIs a~e ciay and wiiI cave in. In design-buiId, the contractor is bidding on unknowns. The Committee next discussed doing the ~amp extension the same time as the fioat pIane basin is done. The desi~- abiIity of doing them togethe~ wouid be that, shouid the soiIs prove usabie, the soiis excavated f~om the basin eouId be used in the ramp and those taken f~om the ramp as overburden couid be used as fiii in pIaces needing fiIi at the basin site, saving the taxpayers a sizabIe sum. Again a soiis sampie wouId be important. If the basin were surveyed soon, when the p~ojects a~e ~eady to go, the cont~acto~ eouid be pointed at the fIagged area fo~ either dumping overburden o~ excavating needed backfiii. M~. Brighton was questioned regarding ~he g~an~ in 3uneau. H~. B~igh~on explained ~ha~ ~he money is in ~he Governor's budge~ and ~ha~ ~he legislature can'~ veto ~he Governor's budge~ so ~he money is secure. Hayor Wagone~ pointed ou~ tha~ ~he idea was a good one. The City wan~s ~o ge~ the bes~ benefi~ fo~ ~he money g~anted. It is be~e~ ~o slow down and do ~he p~ojec~s ~igh~, ~a~he~ than forge ahead ~ying to make a ~ime schedule and perhaps make a mistake. Chairman Measies asked M~. B~yson wha~ bo~ings or samplings had been done in conjunc~ion wi~h his ~epo~, M~. B~yson s~a~ed ~ha~ ~he oniy sampiing had been done on ~he perime~e~ of ~he bas in.
