A copy of the bid tabulation is attached here- � to and made a part hereof to the minutes of the City Council meeting of April 27, 1976. Floy Ezell, City Manager gave a brief history stating that this was a continuation of an item discussed at the last meeting con- cerning pumping raw water from the lake to the treatment plant. He continued by saying that six bids were received on April .l, 1976. He acknowledged that the delay in the last meeting was called pending clarification from Freese and Nichols regarding their liability on an alternate bid. The City Manager then introduced Mr. Eddie Cheatham, City Engineer to explain Freese and Nichols recommendation. Mr. Cheatham stated that he was in receipt of a letter from Freese and Nichols. He continued by saying that there was a misunderstanding as to what was meant by their liability. He stated that Freese and Nichols recommended that the contract be awarded to Jay-Mar Corporation for the construction of the Raw Water Pump Station on their base bid. He acknowledged that they would be bound to the contract for the construction of the pump station as for the original plan and specification. He further stated that the Jay-Mar Corporation has asked for a contract change order for the reduction in their bid of $18,147 for an alternate method of construction. He stated that Freese and Nichols has determined that the alternate method is entirely the responsibility of the contractor. Mr. Cheatham stated that in the event of failure, the contractor would be bound to construct the pump station by the original plan. He further commented that it was the recommendation of the City Staff that the contract be awarded on this basis. Mayor Tate asked if the alternate method would effect the life of the facility. Mr. Cheatham answered no. Council- man Dalton asked if the alternate method failed, and the construction company had to revert back to the base bid of $139, 500, would the City then have to pay the base bid. Mr. Cheatham answered in the event of failure, Jay-Mar Construction Company would have to reconstruct in accordance with the origi- nal specifications for the price of the alternate bid. ($121, 353. ) Acting City Attorney, Ben Brooks stated that in light of the fact that this project was competively bid, the motion should be made that the Council award the bid based upon the specifi- cations as they were advertised. Then, a seaond motion would have to be made to authorize the City Staff to accept a change order. Councilman Dalton made a motion to accept the base bid of Jay- Mar Corporation in the amount of $139, 500 for the canstruction of a raw water pump station. The motion was seconded by Council- man Florence and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Nays : None Councilman Dunn made a motion to authorize the City Staff to accept a change order submitted by Jay-Mar corporation to reduce their base bid by $18, 147 for construction of the raw water facility.

Councilman Oliver made a motion to approve the minutes as published. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Conine and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Conine, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Nays : None The next order of business was for the City Council to consider an amendment to City Ordinance 75-11, the personnel ordinance. Acting City Attorney, Ben Brooks explained that the purpose of the ordinance was to change section 8, subsections C and D of the Personnel Code. He continued by saying tha� the substance of the amendment was to correct an ambiguity in subsection C which refers to an appeal board, when in fact there is no appeal board set up as a result of this ordinance. He con- tinued by saying that the words "appeal board" appear only twice in the entire ordinance. He stated that in the amendment ordinance, the words "appeal board" have been deleted. He further stated that this makes certain that all personnel, with the exception of those that are enumerated in the City Charter, can be terminated and hired and disciplined_by �he City Manager and that there is no confusion as to where the responsibility lies. The City Secretary then read the caption of the proposed ordinance. The City Attorney then stated that since this item was placed i on tne agenda as an emergency item, a motion needs to be made declaring an emergency prior to consideration of the ordinance. Councilman Pirkle made a motion to declare an emergency in re- gard to the proposed ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dalton and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Nays: None � � Councilman Florence made a motion to amend ordinance 75-11 to delete the inconsistant portions referring to an appeal board as provided in the proposed ordinance.
