Advertisement for Bids for Delivery of Folding Tables for Earle Brown Heritage
Center. Commissioner Paulson inquired if these folding tables and the folding
platforms would be handicapped accessible. The EDA Coordinator stated the
platforms were definitely handicapped accessible because of the ramp but noted
he was not sure about the tables. He stated he believed they were handicapped
accessible, but he would have to check into it. Commissioner Pedlar inquired if
the Heritage Center project is following the Handicap 504 Rules and Regulations.
The EDA Coordinator stated the architect is familiar with these rules and
regulations and noted the bed and breakfast was not required to follow the
regulations, but staff felt because this is being developed by a public agency,
the regulations should be followed.

The EDA Director presented a Resolution Terminating Contract for Gypsum Drywall
with Westco Builders, Inc. for the Earle Brown Farm Restoration and Accepting
Bid and Awarding Contract to the Next Lowest Responsible Bidder. The EDA
Coordinator stated from the time the contract was awarded to Westco, the EDA has
had problems with the contractor getting compliance with the terms of the
contract /bids specs. He stated Westco has now refused to provide a performance
bond for this job. He explained he is recommending termination of the contract
with Westco and awarding the contract to the next lowest bidder who is Mulcahy
Drywall. He noted the difference in the contract price between Mulcahy and
Westco is approximately $16,000. He stated before Westco even started work,
they were requesting changeovers that would have cost the EDA at least this
amount.
President Nyquist inquired if the EDA could sue Westco for the difference. The
City Attorney stated it would be an unusual case to sue for $16,000, and the EDA
has reason to believe the company could not pay the amount.
