CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
Mayor Muller called the special meeting of the McCall City Council to order at 6:50 pm.
Ms. Arp, Mr. Muller, and Mr. Colton answered roll call. A quorum was present. City
staff members present were City Manager Robert Strope, Finance Director/City Clerk
Cathleen Koch, and Public Works Director Bill Keating.
BUSINESS
Mr. Strope reviewed what went on at the meeting with CNI in Boise today. He had a
breakdown of the contract for Phase II of the Water Treatment Plant.
He explained that the City is way behind in getting started on the project. He suggested
issuing addendum #4 to Phase I of the contract which will refer to the draft minutes of
May 2, 2001. The addendum would indemnify CNI. A change order will be issued for
zero dollars. Mr. Strope is comfortable with the items added and deleted from
Montgomery Watson's original design and with the bid of $6.7 million.
Mr. Strope left a message for Steve West at DEQ to ask if the City has the ability to
award the contract. Mr. West said get the best deal we can for the City and DEQ will
work with the City.
The building for the Water Treatment Plant may be in place before the weather hits, but
it's not very likely. The City will probably have the basement completed. The removal
of the other building is included in the bid, but reconstructing the building is not
included.
Mr. Strope has moved forward with a building permit for the foundation. The City will
have to obtain a variance for the building, but it can't be pursued until the drawings are
complete.
CNI will start submitting things to Donohue for review.
Mr. Keating will be working with Idaho Power on heating costs since the building will be
open to the winter weather. The existing heaters will be relocated and pipes will be
wrapped.
The contract includes liquidated damages of $1000 per day. It will be ready for Council
approval Thursday, May 24, 2001.
Ms. Arp moved to approve addendum #4 in concept at $6.4 million for the
contract change with CNI and direct staff to finalize the contract documents,
notice to proceed, and make required agency coordination to allow for start of
