This work was ordered on an emergency basis when substandard soul <br />conditions were discovered during excavation at the deep end of Heman Pool. <br /> <br />Since payment exceeds $10,000, the City Manager is required to ask City Council for <br />permission to pay this amount. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said the he had read reports relating to this added expense, noting that it <br />was a surprise that the substratum was not strong enough to support the pool and he <br />said he acknowledged that it is an emergency that needs to be dealt with and paid for. <br />His question was asking why the final bill grew from a $12,000 estimate to the submitted <br />bill of $36,000-plus. The City Manager responded that payment is based upon a unit <br />cost in the contract. He said that when the crew completed the excavation and they <br />were asked for an estimate of cost, the amount was estimated in the $12,000-range. <br /> Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
