The recommendation was that the Agency adopt the resolution awarding a contract to Rick Engineering Company for the preparation of construction drawings for the south levee road to Gunpowder Point and appropriating $122,500 therefor. Member Malcolm called for the Resolution as read. Member Campbell questioned the Agreement on Section IV A referring to the time schedule. He felt that it was unusual that a contractor would dictate to the City the schedule or time allowed to complete work. He stated that the language used should not be in the Agreement. Director Desrochers explained that because of the tight turn around schedule that is anticipated with the Federal Government, the contractors are working closely with the Engineering Department. The time schedule is something that is being worked out cooperatively between the City Engineering Department and the contractor. ..._.__._"---_.._----,--_.~--_.~."---",..,--- Redevelopment Agency -2- June 19, 1986 Member Campbell could not see where any of the contractor's time is devoted to supervi si on of constructi on.
