a) 2002 ROAD PROGRAM
Little Rascals is trying to make their best effort to finish up the
punch list. They will not be recommending any more payments
without working through the attorney to make sure that the liens are
taken care of. The contractor still wants to come in and finish up the
work. They tested the surface corps pavements and it did fail. The
material was bad. The supplier of that asphalt material will be
responsible for that. We will have to hold the contractor responsible
and he in turn will hold the supplier responsible for that.
b) 20G_ ROAD PROGRAM
We received bids for the 2003 Road Program. He recommended
they award that contract tonight but for a reduced amount. They
thought they would have DOT money from the 2002 Road
Program to put towards 2003 but that money is not freed up at
this point. The low bidder was Defino with the base bid but
because of the funding available they are recommending we
__ invoke the deduct alternate and award the bid tonight to Star of
the Sea in the amount of $414,444.00.
c) SINK HOLES
B&W corrected the sinkhole on Carteret Avenue. There is one on
Sharot Street and one on Leber Avenue. He will have them look
at them.

d) MANHOLE REHABILITATION CONTRACT
It has been difficult to get Al State Power Vac to come and finish
the punch list but they are working on that. Because they've
exceeded the contract completion date they are recommending the
BOROUGH Borough assess them up to $5000.00 or more of liquidated to cover
ENGINEER additional inspection fees and administrative fees. He has-a change
(CON 'T) order #1, which gives them a modest 2-week extension towards
some administration problems in getting the contract squared away.
