The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
At the start of the meeting, a proclamation will be read declaring September 2019 to be Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the city of Lakeport.
The main item on the agenda is a proposed amendment to the construction contract with Bridges Construction for the City Hall Remodel Project.
City Manager Margaret Silveira’s report to the council explains that the amended construction contract will include mandatory federal language and a contract change order for $3,900 to cover the additional administrative time relating to the federal requirements.
Silveira said the project is to provide Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant access to the City Hall Administration and Finance Department payment counter, remodeled office space for the planning department and additional storage for the council chambers.
Bridges Construction amended its original bid from $235,610 to $187,860, largely relating to changing the construction work from night work to daytime work, Silveira said.
Silveira said the project is now funded partially by federal Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, monies, which include additional administrative requirements from the contractor. “The funding came through after the contract was awarded. Therefore, a contract amendment is needed to include the mandatory federal language. A contract change order is warranted to compensate the contractor for additional administrative requirements that come with the CDBG
Funding.”
She said the construction is expected to start this month.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the regular council meeting on Aug. 20; the Aug. 23 warrant register; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the Mendocino Complex fire; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the February 2019 storms; approval of event application 2019-025, with staff recommendations, for the 2019 Clear Lake High School Homecoming Parade.
