The next page is the invoice which addresses the issue that <br />Councilman Guest was talking about in terms of pricing and you can see by <br />this particular job, there was a one man crew with a backhoe for one-half hour. <br />It reached a combination of crews and there is a price out there, and that was <br />submitted along with the payment voucher. The next document is a purchase <br />requisition that is required to be filled out in order to generate the check and <br />the last page is a copy of the check that was actually generated. Mr. Anderson <br />said these are brought in on a daily basis and the checks are generated on a <br />daily basis and paid out on a daily basis. Mr. Anderson said he went back and <br />pulled samples for two months and in June of last year, there were 41 checks <br />written that were day labor checks for various contractors and the year before <br />that, June of 2001, there were 45 checks written, and that appears to be typical. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley questioned the hourly rate for this three-man crew at $85.00 an <br />hour and asked if we get other rates. Mr. Napier said all the contractors submit <br />their list for what they charge and each one is a little different, but they <br />typically don't vary more than five to ten dollars and usually they round up to <br />equal or the $5.00 amount.

Mr. Anderson said he could not tell without looking the figures <br />up. Councilman Guest wanted to know if it was one of the $20,000.00 <br />projects. Mr. Napier advised that this one was definitely over $20,000.00. Mr. <br />Napier advised that a lot of the time the water line projects may run or normally <br />run anywhere between $10,000.00 and $50,000.00. He advised that some of <br />the sewer projects may run about the same, but right now, the city has a sewer <br />project going that is pretty much a replacement type job. They are replacing <br />lines that are currently feeding into a lift station and on that project just the <br />pipe alone is going to be pretty expensive because it is an 18 inch sewer line <br />and the material cost runs that up real quick. The labor in putting it in does not <br /> <br /> <br />
