"! e . . ~ ~~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: ~ April 26, 2002 TO: Mayor, City Council Members, and City Staff Joe Lynch, City Administrator {JI/ Non-Agenda for Week Ending 4/26/02 FROM: SUBJECT: 1. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION o Citv Hall Terry, Dave and I met with PeteT Vesterholt to determine where the architect thinks Rochon is in accordance with their contract. We all agreed that they are out of compliance with their contract and we will offer a date of June 1, 2002 for completion of all items or we will begin hiring contractors to complete the work and utilizing the remaining portion of their flmds to pay for that work and/or draw on their performance bond. The terrazzo floor did not turn out well and we are in discussion with the contractor to determine the best time to have the floor completely removed and replaced. They are awaTe of the fact that we will not accommodate them during the work day for replacement of the floor and they will have to complete that either on a weekend or during the evenings. We have also indicated that if they require someone to attend to City Hall to let them in and to lock up, they will have to pay for that persons time. o Liabilitv Claim An update on the Hugh Bradley situation. I did receive a report from a professional engineer that indicates that he does not believe the crack in the Bradley's basement is due to the water main leak. Mr. Bradley indicated that he would be providing his own engineer's report and the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust representative will contact Mr. Bradley indicating that we will await that report and provide him with ours at the same time to compare. Ifthat happens I will meet with Mr. Bradley and ask him what it is that he thinks the City did wrong and what he believes we are responsible for. At this time, I believe that the City is not liab1c for the damage that occurred to the Bradley's basement foundation wall. o Rice Creek Watershed District There is a copy of the letter that we sent to the Rice Creek Watershed District. I will attempt to contact their new Executive Director and have a meeting with him and Aaron Parrish to discuss negotiation about the approval of our Stormwater Management Plan under more favorable tenns. o Meetinl! with Government Services Administration and Representative Betty McCollum I am working on setting up a meeting potentially for the May 20 W orksession with GSA and Representative McCollum to discuss how to proceed with TCAAP and following the GSA excess process.
