Redevelopment Authority approves $41,039 construction payment for Tabor claim

The Redevelopment Authority approved payment of a $41,039.05 claim (application no. 2404 3B) submitted by Tabor for regular construction work and completed change orders.

Staff member (construction finance) told the board that "the total contract amount is $9,634,113" and that $9,111,368.30 previously has been paid, with the current claim to be paid but with retainage held. Board members discussed language in an agreement to withhold funds and the applicable performance bond.

The Chair called for a motion to approve the claim; a motion was made and seconded and the board approved the payment by voice vote. The staff presentation noted the contractor had also submitted a separate claim for re-change work that staff recommended not paying at this time.

The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; approval was indicated by the board's unanimous voice vote on the motion. The record includes an apparent inconsistency in the contractor name — the transcript refers to "Tabor Orange constructions" in one place and "Tabor Owens" in another; staff described the submission as the claim for the regular construction contract.
