CONSULTING ENGINEER'S REPORT AND
JOHNSON BROTHERS REQUEST FOR A TIME
THE DOWNTOWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF
Consulting Engineer Moore reported to Council on the
percentage of the project completed at this time and reviewed
a schedule for completion of the items remaining. The
contractor is requesting an extension of 71 days; Mr. Moore
reported that he felt an extension of 62 days would be
justified. He also suggested that the contract be changed to
reflect the number of working days allowed rather than a
completion date, because the start up date will depend upon
when road restrictions are lifted in the spring. Mr. Moore
also reported that the contractor has responsibility for any
construction-related problems which occur over the winter,
and this should be included in the change order.
Mayor Abrahamson invited comments from the audience. Carol
Ryden, representing the Downtown Merchants, stated that the
contractor's request was submitted too late, and cannot be
allowed. City Attorney Magnuson stated that he feels the
contractor's request appears reasonable.
['
Motion by Councilmember Bodlovick, seconded by Councilmember
Farrell to approve a time extension of 60 working days for
completion of the downtown construction project, beginning on the
date the road weight restrictions are lifted. (All in favor)
