Regular City Council Meeting <br />July 14,2003 <br />Page 27 <br /> <br />and that the process is just stupid - not a good process in his opinion. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley advised that this Council needs to address how they want to go <br />forward with the day work. He felt that if it is an emergency or a matter of <br />health or the job is under the $25,000.00, or you may want to say $50.000.00, <br />that day work was acceptable. He did not feel it should be upped much more <br />because you really have to remember you are dealing with taxpayers money and <br />you are responsible for the taxpayers interest. They need to be sure they are <br />getting the best thing for their money. Mayor Fendley said that if the city has <br />proper planning procedures in place, you know what jobs are coming up, you <br />know what needs to be done, and then you should be able to schedule your <br />time. <br /> <br />Councilman Bell wanted to know what it would do to the city if they stopped <br />day work tonight. Mr. Napier said it would stop every project but one or two. <br />Mr. Napier said they were currently doing manhole replacements and clean-out <br />replacements. They have a crew doing water line replacements. Councilman <br />Bell wanted to know what contractors were working these projects. Mr. <br />Napier said that Harrison, Walker & Harper are doing manhole replacements, <br />sewer clean-outs and on occasions some sewer lines. Buddy Heuberger is <br />mainly doing water lines but he also does sewer lines. Chip Jenkins and <br />Brown mainly do sewer, but they also do water lines. The Harrison, Walker & <br />Harper crew is more familiar with sewer. Therefore, they stick with primarily <br />sewer lines. Mr. Napier said that Freddy Smith has just finished with the First <br />State Bank Project (the bar) for the city and he has done a few other jobs for the <br />city. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley asked if Harrison, Walker & Harper are doing the manhole <br />replacements and if they bid at the beginning of the year saying they will do <br />each manhole for a certain price. Mr. Napier said they bid it out by the crew. <br />Mayor Fendley asked if there was a variance in manholes. Mr. Napier said <br />there are 4 foot, 5 foot, and 6 foot diameter manholes. Councilman Guest said <br />there is a matrix for that, this is not rocket science, this is manholes. Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />
