MINUTES -2- August 21, 1990 4. ~ AGRRRMENT REGARDING THE CHANNEL WORK PORTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE I IMPROVEMENTS OF MEMORIAL PARK Agency Attorney Boogaard stated the Agency needed to authorize a settlement agreement to an aspect of a construction project in Memorial Park. The item came to his attention this mon~ing and staff had been able to reach terms to recommend for approval to settle the construction dispute. The urgency of the matter is that if it is delayed until the next Agency meeting, there were substantial costs that could be incurred and losses to be borne by the Agency or contractor that could be avoided ff acted upon immediately. MSC (Cox/Moore) to add the settlement agreement to the Redevelopment Agency agenda, approved ~0~1 with Member McCandliss absent. Agency Attorney Boogaard advised the Agency that in the Memorial Park project, 180 feet of concrete, which is to appear as natural riverbed, had been laid and is not satisfactory to the Parks Department and does not meet the intent of what they felt the bid specifications provided for. The agreement creates a program to test the contractors ability to comply with what the City feels is aesthetically required, by taking an additional S6 feet and pouring concrete pursuant to more speriflc design criteria. If the second 56 feet is acceptable, then the City will permit the contractor to develop in increments, thereafter, the rest of the 800 feet of concrete in the drainage channel. If it is not acceptable, the contractor is required to remove the 56 feet, and the City reserves all it's rights to claim damages or violations on each side, both by the Agency and the contractor. It is hoped that this will avoid a major problem in having to terminate and rebid the job which would result in further costs, He requested a minute resolution approving the agreement and authorizing the Chairman to execute the agreement. MSC (Malcolm/Cox) to approve the settlement agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute, approved 4-0-1 with Member McCandliss absent. Agency Attorney Boogaard requested that if there were minor changes to the agreement, that he be given the authority to make non-substantial changes to the agreement in order to accomplish the objectives. MSC (Cox/Nader) to authorize the Chairman to approve any non-substantial changes in the agreement as recommended by the Agency Attorney, approved 4-0-1 with Member MeCandliss absent. S.
