Finance Committee - 8/1/2018 Page 3
This was Federal money that was not used for the Broad Street Parkway and this would award this contract for
this amount for the paving of these major streets, Amherst Street, Somerset Parkway, Broad Street and
Kinsley Street; much or all of which we hope to get done this year. But are there any questions or comments?

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee
Sorry for so many questions. | actually got a phone call about this today where somebody asked me if we put
this bid out and now we need 1,468 additional castings over what the original bid is that correct?
Mayor Donchess
You should introduce yourself for the record.
Mandeep Gill, Senior Staff Engineer
My name is Mandeep Gill and | am a Senior Staff Engineer in the engineering department in the DPW office. |
work with Steve Dookran and | was the one when we first put our bid out we did estimate a number of castings,
manholes, catch basins, but unless you open them you don’t know what is damaged and while they are trying
to dismantle during milling or re-cleaning operation, they do find a lot of these have been damaged so they can
be replaced. So that’s why we are ordering extra right now.
Alderman Klee
Thank you for the clarification. Thank you.
