COMMUNICATIONS REQUIRING FINAL APPROVAL
From: Mayor Jim Donchess
Re: Emergency PO Request - $94,400 for Change Order 2 for 2019 Asphalt Testing from S. W. Cole
Engineering, Inc.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE TO AUTHORIZE THE EMERGENCY PURCHASE ORDER REQUEST
FOR $94,400 FOR CHANGE ORDER 2 FOR 2019 ASPHALT TESTING FROM S.W. COLE BY ROLL
CALL
ON THE QUESTION
President Wilshire
Does anybody have questions?
Alderman Jette
Yes, | have a question. So could someone explain why this is required. What is the emergency that is
causing us to increase the purchase of this asphalt testing?
President Wilshire
Did someone speak up? Mayor?
Mayor Donchess
Alderman Jette it is not an emergency; a program that we instituted along with the Paving Plan of Action
has been in effect for several years now. It was to test the quality of the asphalt, both at the site and at the
plant where it is being made. We were finding that some paving projects were not the quality of the paving
— the asphalt that was laid down was not of the quality that it was supposed to be and not of a quality that
would last for the dollars we are spending. So last year we had a contract with the same company and
they did the asphalt testing; they did a good job. So what this is, this is simply a change order which would
extend their contract by one year so they would continue as they did last year to do the testing this year.
