Mayor Donchess
Until the project is finished.
Alderman Cookson
So they are not expending a certain amount of time each week on the project but on an as needed basis and
responding to litigation as appropriate?
Mayor Donchess
Correct.
Alderman Cookson
So the $120,000 wouldn't cover three months or it wouldn’t cover the first half of 2017?
Mr. Kooken
There is no specification in the contract about an end date.
Alderman Clemons
Isn't exhibit B the breakdown of the hours and the costs?
Mr. Kooken
Yes.
Alderman Clemons
So it looks 992 work hours is what they are estimating.
Mayor Donchess
He has given us estimates for what he thinks this will take but there’s no definite time, some of this stuff could
take quite a while.
Alderman Clemons
It looks like we’d have to come back if these estimates are under what it is going to take.
Mayor Donchess
Yes but John Vancor thinks that this will be sufficient.
Alderman Cookson
If they were to work on this full-time, a 40-hour work week; that would be 1,040 hours and would represent two
quarters worth of work. It’s just a little bit less than...
Mayor Donchess
It’s a little bit more complicated than that because there are various people at various hourly rates. John
Vancor’s rate is $150.00 per hour.
