of activate that walk and get people to do that, think about that. Maybe you already have, you probably already

Alderwoman Kelly
Yes Mr. Mayor, | was just wondering if you knew much more about the roof and if that is something we are
going to have to do before, | want to make sure | was clear.
Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Kelly
So | guess my question is are they doing enough construction that what if that were to occur, that we would
have to find a brewery to go in there, do you Know what | mean? It seems like that’s an intense amount of
construction. We can’t suddenly sell it to someone as office space.
Mr. Vayo

When you read the contract it says that we are responsible for the removal of the old desk and the addition of
new electrical wiring. It says that in the contract. Is the City going to pay for that, is the Library, | guess that
would be the City paying for it as well. But do we have a plan in place to take care of that because | imagine
that is at least a little bit of work.

Deputy Kerrigan
To that point, an air bag is very thin until you put air in it so it slides into things and as it expands it can move
things. They are a pretty useful tool.
Alderman Laws
| imagine it reduces potential damage to property.
Deputy Kerrigan
Yes.
Alderman Laws
Because instead of chiseling away at the concrete of a building you can throw in an air bag, ok, thank you.

We are adding an additional, in grant funding, about $70,000.00 and the City is putting in about $80,000.00 so

Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
And this is a contract for $502,000.00.

but if somebody had a good excuse and say “I lost it” are we missing a potential opportunity? So my question
directly is what is our procedure when this occurs in the bidding process?
Ms. Marchant
| would like to hand that over to the purchasing manager.
