Finance Committee - 1/16/2019 Page 3
Mayor Donchess
This will have to go to the full Board as well?
Mr. Cummings
It may not. Definitely the architect will.
Mayor Donchess
Anything over a million, but | guess 2.9% is not. Ok, alright so the proposal is for Harvey Construction;
obviously the City has dealt with Harvey many times. Are there any discussion/questions, anything about the
contract?
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Mr. Cummings, is what you say, because | have never really seen a to-be-determined
amount come before this Board. So | am somewhat cautious with it but you gave a good explanation of what it
is, but is that inside Harvey’s contract that is the 2.whatever number that you quoted, is that in there?
Mr. Cummings
Yes.
Alderman O’Brien
Because | haven't really poured over the contract 100% but it is clearly stated. So it is a determined amount.
And lf | may have a follow up Mr. Mayor? If for some unforeseen reason, would a change order come back to
the Committee for that as with our usual procedure?
Mr. Cummings
Yes.
Mayor Donchess
Any other questions or discussion?
Alderwoman Kelly
Yes | too say the “TBD” and was concerned. | was wondering why we wouldn't put a “not to exceed” which we
have done in the past, based on this formula.
Mr. Cummings
| don’t know what that number is; not to exceed what?
Alderwoman Kelly
| guess that’s my question. | feel uncomfortable approving something that | don’t what that value is going to be
if you don’t know what that value is going to be?
