CONSENT AGENDA Item #A - Minutes of July 30, 1986, #AB86-306; Item #B - Completion of Contract #2516 - Test Well Development #AB86- 307; Item #C - Completion of Contract #2551 - Test Well, #AB86-308, and Item #D - Bid Award Recommendation - C-15 Beach Pipe Line a Storm Sewer Outfall, #AB86-309. Discussion followed referencing Item #D with .Mr. Glenn Vockrodt, 1409 Marlow, objecting to the bid award for ductile pipe because of it's cathartic protection. He stated this pipe is lined inside with concrete because of the corrosive materials in sewage but not on the. exterior which would interact with salt water. Mr. Dave Baker, Public Works Director/City Engineer, felt that ductile pipe is the state-of-the-art material used in ~odays market and that it has an exterior coating of tar which makes it less vunerable to corrosive action from salt water. Discussion followed with City Attorney Bill Brouqhton explaining that the City could award the bid as outlined in the Agenda Bill, with a review by city Staff and the contractor to address the merit of Mr. Vockrodt's concerns, and if found that plastic pipe would be more feasible, the City could issue a change order for the difference. Mr. Homing stated the contractor may incur greater expense than just the cost of pipe, if it has already stocked the materials needed by what is known as a "restocking charge" for returned supplies. Therefore, costs could be considerably higher if the specifications were change at this date. #0725 · M/S/C/U/(Long/Crutcher) to approve the Consent Agenda as presented and review Mr. Vockrodt's concerns regarding item D prior to signing contract.
