Ms. Ayala was confused ,and did not believe that Mr. Wilson had indicated that <br />this issue needed to be addressed immediately. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan confirmed that this issue did not need to be addressed <br />immediately. She was not sure what benefit Council would gain from continuing this <br />item for another two weeks. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico indicated that Council might gain more comfort if this issue was <br />continued for another two weeks. He realized the significance of funds spent in terins of <br />change orders for the Callippe Preserve Golf Course and Open Space Project. He <br />believed that if some members of the Council needed a better understanding and comfort <br />level, they should be provided that oppommity. Based on Ms. Ayala's request to <br />continue this item, he did not believe there was any objection from any council member. . <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman did not object to continuing the matter if the delay of two weeks <br />would not hold up the project. She stated that she was anxious to get the Callippe <br />Preserve Golf Course and Open Space project completed as soon as possible. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell did not object to continuing this issue. He questioned the proposed <br />$1 million dollar increase related to the clubhouse, as he believed it somewhat vague. He <br />asked for a clearer explanation, which could be provided in two weeks. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wilson explained that the $1 million dollars was broken up into two <br />components. The first component was the actual bid that was received for the clubhouse, <br />which was higher than the original estimate, and equated to about $600,000. The <br />$600,000 was included in the budget and could be used as contingencies. The second <br />element of the clubhouse increase, the additional $400,000, was related to when the <br />project was first designed as to where the clubhouse would be located. A different set of <br />grades was assumed, and as a result, there was a required change order to change the <br />elevation to lower it in order for the utilities to be connected to the clubhouse. This also <br />required major adjustments to undergrounding a portion of the construction for the <br />clubhouse. Staffis currently trying to negotiate the change order with Ferma, and is also <br />hoping to work with Lindquist Construction. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky mentioned that a contingency amount was included in the budget <br />for this project. He wondered if the contingency funds were depleted and if staffwas <br />asking for an additional $4 million? He asked for the original amount that was budgeted <br />for the contingency. <br /> <br /> Mr. Iremonger reported that the contract with Ferma included an $800,000 <br /> contingency. There was also an additional contingency on the overall project and <br /> together both contingencies totaled under $2 million dollars. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico announced that his item would be continued to allow Council the <br /> opportunity to understand the process and to receive and review the work Change Orders. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 11 01/20/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
