City Engineer Shawn Napier said the job was not complete and the major problem was the old 20 -inch cast iron pipe that needed to be taken out of service. He also said during the last several weeks, crews had not been able to accomplish this task due to broken valves and unmarked water lines. Mr. Napier told Council that McInnis Brothers was in the process of hiring a local asphalt contractor to repair and /or replace the cut streets. Mr. Napier said McInnis requested an additional 45 day extension and if that request was granted liquidated damages as of April 14 were in the amount of $5,850.00. He recommended that the contract be ended with McInnis Brothers and the work completed by City crews. Council Member Wright did not favor a change order in the amount of $18,383.02 because of the lack of quality work, the streets were a mess and they did not complete the job on time. Council Member Drake agreed with Council Member Wright. Mr. Godwin recommended tabling the item until April 28. Council Member Frierson said there were some major things that were going to need to be resolved and that would take some time. Mr. Godwin said by contract, the city was required to pay for the increase, but that staff could bring options back to the next Council meeting. Council Member Wright expressed displeasure with McInnis for tearing up the street and not properly repairing it. He inquired about the bond money. Mr. Godwin said Council would need to decide what percentage they wanted to spend on street repair. Council Member Frierson suggested they perhaps have a workshop to discuss this issue. Mr. Godwin said Contract B would come to the Council in June. Council Member Drake confirmed that the change order was due to items McInnis had purchased and already placed in the ground. Mayor Hashmi inquired about the penalty amount and Mr. Napier replied it was $150.00 a day. Council Member Lancaster expressed concern about the mess McInnis had made out of the street. Mr. Godwin said the City had McInnis' bond money and recommended that this item be tabled. A Motion to table this item was made by Council Member Drake and seconded by Council Member Jenkins. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 17.
