Committee member presses city on contractor pace, suggests withholding payment until phase 1 completion
Summary
A committee member told staff contractors appeared to be slowing work on phase 1 after losing the phase 2 contract and suggested withholding payment until completion; staff said the city expects the contractor to finish and that it supplies water for construction use without charging but measures quantity used.
A committee member said it appeared contractors were "dragging their feet" on finishing phase 1 work after losing the phase 2 contract and suggested withholding payment until phase 1 was completed. "I hope we don't pay those guys until they complete phase 1," the member said.
Ray Mayo responded that the city expects the contractor to finish so another contractor can use the same laydown area, and confirmed the city supplies water for construction use without charging but tracks how much each contractor uses. He said the contractor had delayed work during a recent festival but staff will continue monitoring completion.
