Finance Committee - 7/19/2017 Page 8
Ms. Osborne
Woodard & Curran has already done a preliminary study on the pump station upgrade and they have done a
30 percent design. This contract takes us to the 100 percent design. This is the final design contract. It also
takes us the bidding and award construction phase services. This is the final piece of the puzzle to get us
where we need for those pump station upgrades, at least the design part.
Alderman Caron
Can you tell me how long it will take you to get this work done on those 14 pump stations, once you get the
final phase?
Ms. Osborne
In the final page of the draft contract, | believe there is an updated one that Mr. Kooken has.
Mr. Kooken
| have copies. There were two errors in the contract that was previously posted. Those errors have been
corrected if you want to see those.
Mayor Donchess
Why don’t you pass them out to the committee members.
Alderman Caron
| think it is important that we keep our wastewater facility up to par. Nobody knows more than | do since it is in
my ward. We've had some good reports on it. If something major happens, it affects everybody. | know itis a
lot of money, but when you are talking 30 — 55 years old, | think it is important that we get our wastewater
treatment plant up to snuff. Thank you.
Ms. Osborne
If you look at the second page of the handout, you do have the timeline which includes the construction phase
services estimated to complete in December, 2019.
Alderman Cookson
| had several questions from the last meeting. Is someone prepared to answer those questions or do | need to
re-ask them?
Mayor Donchess
Why don’t you re-ask them so it’s clear what they are.
Alderman Cookson
I’m just reviewing the minutes from the last meeting so that | have the verbiage that | used to ask the
questions. The very first question, | believe Mr. Kooken responded regarding the termination clause indicating
that the termination clause was stricken from the contract with Woodard & Curran. That is because the city
has its own termination clause. Even though the termination clause isn’t visible to us with what we are
approving, the city has a termination clause that is applicability and will be applied as necessary.
