What if you go over?
Ms. McCormack
Are you asking if there are additional funds for the project? They have additional trust funds that they can use
if we go over the contingency that they have set aside.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
Mr. Mansfield, the contract is written such that they have to provide an optical TDR report but there is no
mitigation if the TDR says that there is an issue. There is no obligation in the contract to fix a problem that they
can report on.
Mr. Bruce Codagnone, IT Division Director
| think you are right, we probably should stipulate that in the contract. We have worked with this company over
and over again for many years and have never had an issue with them correcting any issues that have come
up as a result of the testing but you are right, we should have it in writing.
Alderman Siegel
So we can rest assured that it will be amended? | know we have dealt with this vendor before so | understand
that they will likely do the right thing but it just seemed a little bit unusual. That was a draft contract. Can we
rest assured that we will put language in that if there is a problem with the report it will be fixed to spec.
Mr. Codagnone
Yes, | will do that.
