Council adopts settlement and assignment to resolve unpaid subcontractor claim for aquatic center
Summary
Council voted to allow the city manager to execute an assignment of claims and a compromise settlement with Concrete Connections LLC to resolve an unpaid $4,000 subcontractor balance from the Plainview Aquatic Center project; staff said the subcontractor had previously received $5,000 of a $9,005 bill.
Assistant City Manager Jeff Johnston asked council to adopt Resolution R26-699 to authorize the city manager to execute an assignment of claims and a compromise settlement and release related to unpaid subcontractor work on the Plainview Aquatic Center project. Johnston said Concrete Connections LLC performed concrete work in May 2021, billed $9,005 in total and had been paid $5,000; the city is seeking to pay the remaining balance (about $4,000) to settle the claim and pursue other claims against the primary contractor as part of ongoing legal efforts.
Council moved to adopt R26-699 and approved the resolution on the record. Johnston said the city has used this approach previously for other unpaid subcontractor invoices and that USA Management (the prime contractor) remains subject to ongoing legal pursuit. The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute settlement documents and assignment of claims necessary to resolve the subcontractor’s outstanding invoice.
