Howard congratulated staff on bringing the water pipeline to fruition in a very timely manner. He commended Council for the foresight to spend the money where it is truly needed. Mayer and Sisk agreed with Howard. Susan Cniffiths, City Attorney, recommended that if there is a motion to approve the bid award, since the contract ran through 1995 and into 1996, they include a statement within the motion that the amounts so approved shall be pledged irrevocably from present cash reserves and held for payments in future fiscal years to take care of any Amendment 1 concerns. Mayer moved that Council award the contract for construction of the Southern Water Supply Project, Louisville Raw Water Connecting Pipeline, Segment III to BT Construction for the bid price of $448,455, authorize contingency funds of $35,876 to be used as needed for a total project cost of $484,331, authorize the Mayor to sign the contract documents on behalf of the City of Louisville, and introduce the language that the amounts so approved shall be pledged irrevocably from present cash reserves and held for payments in future fiscal years. Seconded by Howard. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6 - 0 vote with Levihn being absent.
