Alderman Klee

Yes, | have a question for Director Kleiner. | know that you said that there were so many, there were different
ones, so no one has stepped up to say that they’ve — and we have no recourse?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Unfortunately no. No contractor stepped up or believed that they had done the damage to the countertop. It
was something that we didn’t feel that we could live with. It was really (no audio) so we didn’t have any
recourse against any particular vendor.

Alderman Klee

Yeah, | wouldn’t want to live with something that is damaged either, but it is just a shame that none of the
vendors, whoever was responsible didn’t step up. | am disappointed in that. Thank you.

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

You're welcome.

Mayor Donchess

And | see Mr. Hudson is here, City Engineer.

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. My name is Dan Hudson, City Engineer, for the record. This item is related to paving,
as it says, you noted as we pave, we need to remove and reset all the catch basins and manhole covers. As
we are doing that work, if we have ones that are broken or that don’t meet the current standards so as the
manhole covers which were used for many years, we need to replace those. So this is expanding a purchase
order for last year. Concord Winwater Works has agreed to hold their 2019 pricing. This will enable us to
purchase those castings for that work.

Mayor Donchess

ON THE QUESTION

Finance Committee - 05/06/2020 Page 7

Mayor Donchess

Mr. Hudson?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Sure Mr. Mayor so this is to upgrade the fuel (inaudible audio) fuel at the Streets Department. This is a
contract we — we had awarded a contract to another vendor but they didn’t perform, they hadn’t done any work
so there was no cost for that. But this is to award to the second-choice vendor.

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

If | may, Jon Ibarra is present, Street Department Super if there are any questions.

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you, Jon, | didn’t Know you were on, | appreciate that.
Mayor Donchess
| didn’t either, thank you Mr. Ibarra.

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

You’re welcome, thanks for speaking Dan.

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

| did my best.

Mayor Donchess

Any questions or discussion on this?

Alderman Klee

Mr. Mayor | just have one quick question and | know | read it here and | can’t find it, what is the difference
between what the original contract was that we awarded to the first people versus the second choice

contractor?

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

About $8,000.00.
Alderman Klee
Above what it was?

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

Yeah, Envortrack was $259,488.00 and Stephens-Marquis is at $267,000.00. They were the second lowest
bidder.

Finance Committee - 05/06/2020 Page 8

Alderman Klee
OK thank you very much.

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

You're welcome.

Alderwoman Kelly

| have a couple questions, please.

Mayor Donchess

OK, Alderwoman Kelly?

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. So my questions are if you could give us a quick overview because | can’t remember back to when
the first Envirotrack came on. So that would be first.

Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets

Sure | would be happy to. This is the fuel island that is located at 9 Stadium Drive at the Street Department
that services multiple City Departments, Divisions like Fire, PD, AMR, School Department and the Street
Department, Park & Recs, Solid Waste. It has deteriorated to the point that it needs to be re-built. So we went
out for a design build rehab contract. We previously or you as the Finance Committee previously awarded the
contract. And as we started into the process, we were surprised with some change orders and a bunch of
things where the City lost confidence in that first contractor to perform the work. So the City decided to
terminate the contract and go to the next bidder. Any questions?

Alderwoman Kelly

My follow-up question you answered, | was just wondering what happened with the previous and how long
before we made this decision but sounds like you guys made a smart decision so thank you.

Mayor Donchess
Anyone else? Madam Clerk could you please call the roll.

CONTRACT FOR PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $398,230
TO HAYNER/SWANSON, INC. FUNDS ARE AVAILABE IN DEPARTMENT: 160 ADMIN/ENGINEERING;
FUND: BOND, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Mr. Hudson?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this is a contract as noted with Hayner/Swanson a local engineering firm. They act
on our behalf as an extension of the Engineering Department, helping us with inspection of paving, review and
assessment of the pavement, things like that. So this is a service contract. This year we are paving or will be
paving over 26 miles of roadways, some of that is what we had programmed, some of that is carryover from
last year. This contract is a drawdown contract, so it is time spent basically is how it is billed. So if we don’t

need services, we won’t utilize them but this is the budget that we believe is appropriate based upon the work
that we foresee. So with that, we ask for your consideration of it.

Mayor Donchess

Any questions or comments?

Alderwoman Kelly

| have a question. | am just looking through here, but my question —| am pretty sure Hayner/Swanson is who
we used last year, is that correct?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Correct.

Alderwoman Kelly

Ok and we have been happy with their work obviously, we are upping the contract.
Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Yes that is correct. They have been a good partner for us.

Alderwoman Kelly
OK thank you.

Mayor Donchess

We have had them for quite awhile and they’ve done a good job. Any other questions? Madam Clerk could
you please call the roll.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Mr. Boucher is here | believe.

Dave Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent

Yes, Mr. Mayor. Dave Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent. This change order is for our primary tank
upgrade at the Wastewater Facility. This project is for the modification and rehab of the existing tanks at our
wastewater facility including an additional above-ground control building. The cost is for extra surface coating
to our thickening tanks that were discovered during the project. Also extra digging that was needed for
electrical conduit. We came across an unforeseen existing pipe, so it had to be relocated. And also upgrades
to a PLC Processor for our new control building. I'll take any questions.

Alderwoman Kelly

| have a question.

Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Kelly.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you, thank you — appreciate it, nice to see you. My question is a little bit in jest but | want to ask do we
have a brand new up to down wastewater treatment facility at this point.

Dave Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent

No, we do not. No. We have several projects going on at the Wastewater Facility and outside and more to
come.

Alderwoman Kelly
OK.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Mr. Boucher?

Dave Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent

Dave Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent. This change order is for our Energy Recovery Project. This
project includes the installation of two new generators at the Wastewater Facility that will utilize the biogas to
generate energy. The cost is to cover custom fabrication, steel supports for two heat exchangers and one
bracket water pump. Normally these pumps come with brackets, unfortunately the way the building was
designed, brackets that would come with them do not fit so they have to custom fabricate on-site, so this is to
cover that cost. That was not in the original budget.

Alderman O’Brien
Mr. Mayor, Alderman O’Brien. Yes Mr. Mayor, | wonder if you could possibly help to expedite the record of

the record of expenditures, could that be considered as part of our signature on the document only during
these particular times when we are not really physically able to sign such.

Mayor Donchess
| would be glad to follow-up on that yes. I’d be glad to. Anyone else have any general remarks?
