Daniel approves two‑year, $120,000 engineering contract with Jones & DeMille including "not to exceed" language
Summary
The council approved a two‑year, $120,000 contract with Jones & DeMille for engineering services and added a "not to exceed" clause in section 4a; Jones & DeMille bills hourly and the firm will present a new agreement if the limit is reached.
The Daniel Town Council approved a two‑year engineering services contract with Jones & DeMille that carries a listed cap of $120,000, with councilmembers adding a "not to exceed" qualifier to section 4a of the agreement.
Mayor Scott Kohler said the firm bills on an hourly basis and the total may not be reached; council members noted the town has averaged about $60,000 per year on engineering fees. Councilmember Eric Bennett asked for explicit "not to exceed" language so the town would require any additional work beyond the cap to be authorized through a new contract.
Councilmember Gary Walton moved to accept the contract with the addition requested; Councilmember Brooke Rose seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote: Bennett yes, Walton yes, Rose yes, Kohler yes. Council documents show the town will continue to be billed hourly and Jones & DeMille would present a new contract if work exceeded the approved cap.
