Finance Committee - 12/04/2019 Page 3
We've had a couple public meetings on this initiative, as well as I’ve outreached to all the various large land
owner's in the area to make sure that they are aware of this and, in fact, part of this contract calls for us to walk
the area with the landowners to make sure the effort that we are undertaking.
Alderwoman Kelly
Can | follow up? I’m sorry, you mentioned, BHP.
Director Cummings
VHB. VHB is a Civil Engineering Firm, a multi-disciplinary that is a contract later on this evening that will be
actually implementing the Riverfront Plan.
Alderwoman Kelly
Follow up please. I’m sorry | am going to get really geeky about trees. My brother and my father are both in
tree removal, that’s what they do. So Civil Engineering makes sense, will they have an arborist that they work
with because it is really important to get the right kind of trees.
Director Cummings
Yes.
Alderwoman Kelly
Great, that’s all.

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE, AND AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR

183 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; FUND: BOND
ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Cummings?
Director Cummings
Yes thank you for the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. | apologize there was a
miscommunication on my end here. What should be before you this evening should read for “not to exceed
$108,000.00” which would be 3.5% of the GMP which we predicated off of the hard construction costs of $2.6
million dollars which is what we are currently costing the Public Health Building at. However, there is an
additional safeguard built into this initiative which asks that the Purchase Order only be issued for $17,000.00
which would be the pre-planning services for Martini Northern.
