City Manager Kelly said the Change Orders are being monitored very
closely, and until that money is provided by the State, the City
could not move ahead with some of the changes that are neededo He
said to complete the building they want to add bleachers, back-
boards, scoreboards, etc. He said,in order to move ahead there is
electrical work to be accomplished as well.
V/M Hoffman asked if a Change Order was not part of the original
contract, how can the City avoid going out to bid. City Manager
Kelly said the City is provided with Change Orders on any
construction contract.
Mike Couzzo, Director of Public Works, said the Change Order is in
addition to the contract fee, the Consultant's Competitive
Negotiations Act, which provides that bids are sought for certain
types of professional services. He said the City is not seeking
the professional services because the architects are already under
contract to the City. He said this is a Change Order resulting
out of $150,000 extra that the City is receiving from the State
now. He said this will provide for something that could not be
put in the original provisions because the City did not have the
funds before.
V/M Hoffman said he would like this brought before the City
Attorney for him to determine if this falls within the permis�able
change orders. City Manager Kelly said an estimate is made din a
project initially and a determination is made of the monies
available. He said then the City's position is protected by
identifying certain things in the contract that are considered
either as an add on or a deduct item. He said the contractoribids
on all of those items including these and the City had not re�eiv-
ed the money from the State; therefore, those items were excljded.
Mayor Abramowitz noted that Alan Levine, Assistant Public Works
Director, joined the meeting.

V/M Hoffman MOVED APPROVAL of this item, SECONDED by C/M Bender.
Mayor Abramowitz said he wants City Manager Kelly to sigt-all
documents and be responsible for this project. City Manager Xeslly
said at the last meeting on the Public Service Administrative
Complex, the overall account for the project had all costs involv-
ed in this project. He said included in that he noted there may
be additional architectural costs. He said when the plans were
completed there were some revisions that needed to be done to
reduce further costs. He said at that time Construction Manage-
ment Services directed this.
City Manager Kelly said these are those expected costs. He said
the expenses incurred by Scharf & Associates, Inc., were $8,586.69
for revisions to previously approved plans. He said after the
project was bid the drawings were revised to reflect the alter-
nates taken as well as changes negotiated with the contractor. He
