12/4/84 Page -16- he chose to pave that for the same reason to protect it from weather; knowing that he was going to have to go back in and take some out. That he has done. They have haci considerable discussion - some friendly, some not so friendly. Mr. Cellars stated than all he was trying to do was make certain than the City was getting what they are paying for. They don't intend to recommend accept- ances by the City of Louisville until this is <ione; and the contractor is working very hard and diligently to get it done. On t:he south side of Section B, there are some: areas that he would certainly recommence be ;smoothed out before winter sets in. The schedule for next year, as Mr. Cellar::. undertood it to be and subject to the Cit;`_. budget, was the second part of the agreenc~r::~ . It was his understanding that the contractor and the City reached an agreement as delay by addendum 1 and 2. That next year he would come: in and finish that south half and then overlay the entire works. So the City may have: to live with some patches for an entire year, or until the next construction schedule. There is an 1~'.'. overlay that goes on over the top of what is on the north side; on the south side. it will be brought up to grade and then the entire thing covered. In reply to Councilman Cussen's inquiry - why are the barricades still up near Hunter's Ridge, Mr. Cellars replied that there was no real precedents to follow with this type con- struction. They had to go in and redesign a traffic control barrier that delineates t?~::.~ diffe:rnce in elevation and the Cit~t has to pay for it. Mr. Cellars stated that they have asked several times of the contractor for a schedule for when he is going to get the pavers in, and they have had no response. Mr. Cellars advised that the delineators would have to be a change order to the agreement, as it was never a part of it. Councilman Cussen suggested that perhaps Council needs to review bids and agreements more thoroughly in the future and maybe the low :bid is not the most realiable one in the long range project.
