Council tables amendment request from Bridal Architects, seeks additional vendor clarification
Summary
Council tabled until April 8 a proposed Amendment No. 1 with Bridal Architects requesting up to $15,000 in additional professional services; a motion to deny failed for lack of a second before the council voted to table the item date certain for further clarification.
The Weatherford City Council voted to table until April 8 consideration of Amendment No. 1 with Bridal Architects for additional professional services reportedly not to exceed $15,000.
Councilman (last name) raised concerns that the additional fees appeared to stem from items the vendor should have anticipated, noting nothing fundamental had changed at the project site and questioning why the firm returned for more money. The item was discussed after the council reconvened from executive session.
City staff (Mr. O'Topton) said the additional work appeared tied to unforeseen conditions at a historic building and that staff would confer with Bridal Architects to try to reduce or justify the requested increase. Councilmember Luke Williams moved to table the item to a date certain (April 8) so staff could negotiate and return with more detailed information; the motion was seconded and passed. Earlier, a motion by the concerned councilmember to deny the amendment failed for lack of a second.
The amendment request seeks up to $15,000 for additional professional services; the transcript’s reported “total contract amount” was unclear in the record and is recorded here as not specified. Council directed staff to return with additional detail from the vendor by the April 8 meeting.
