Sjp=d Forrest W. 1 1 Norbert_F.—Donahue, City Atto3mey THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE KALISPELL CITY COUNCIL ,WAS HELD ON MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1981 AT 5:00 P.M. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT CITY HALL. 'MAYOR HAPP PRESIDED. ALL MEMBERS WERE PRESENT. j Mayor,Happ indicated the purpose of the meeting.,was :to discuss a Change Order on the Chem Seal Sewer System Evaluation Study. Councilman Granmo explained that the contract as awar&,ed to Chem Seal included about 100 testing seals. Inspection indicated more needed sealing than -was anticipated. Paul Stokes of Stahley Engineering indicated the following rationale for the Change Order: When the project was originally set up, certain lines were delineated to be cleaned, tested and sealed. The basis for how many joints requiring sealing.was determined by some work done by a Colorado+.-ompany in the early 197015. Projected quantities were based upon that report; rather than the estimated 10%, it was found that between 80 and 95% required sealing. Originally a unit price was established for sealing and testing, since it is found - that more joints require sealing quantities have to be increased. Based on the TV study, another finding was that some lines, instead of being 10" and 12" were actually 6" and 811, which again increased the cost per unit, The EPA grant is $167,800; the Chem Seal con- tract being $117,000. Original budgeted to take care of local share, which is 25%. George Murgel, engineer with Stahley Engineering, inspected the project, indicated that of approximately 36,000 feet of line in the original contract that 70% has been TV'd, the only remaining lines are 3 blocks of 15" between Main and First Avenue East, and 18" pipe from Montana Street in the alley between First Avenue West and 5th Street West. It was also brought out that there is a variation in length of joints, projections were based on 3 feet, majority are 2z feet. Discussion followed concerning missing pipe and deteriorated sewer lines, problems with clay pipe collapse and inability to seal longitudinal cracks. An identified 8 or 9 block stretch between 6th and 7th Avenues West from Center to 8th Street West, midpoint every pipe believed to be service entry into pipeline, apparently when tap was put in the pipline cracked. Over the years, the pipe has washed away and only a cavity remains. A stretch of 18" pipe by the Hind Quarter is in similiar con- dition. A discussion of other problem areas followed. Councilman Granmo indicated that the amount of the change order is $50,632.05; 42% of the original contract, joints needing repair increased from 10 to 80%. This work must be finished before grant request goes in, additional work must be finished as Step 1. The sewer system evaluation survey must either justify or show lack of justification for rehabilitation work. Project more rehab work, 75% of costs would be federally funded. More money is available if need is justified, according to Paul Stokes. RESOLUTION #3320. Lauren Granmo moved for Mayor Happ to be authorized to sign Change Order # 1 for project Federal Sewage Works Grant # C 300 263-012, for increase in quantity of joints to be tested and sealed, with the amount changed to $50,632.05. The amended date of completion would be extended to April 15, 1991. Seconded by Councilman O'Boyle. Roll call vote, all voted aye, carried.

MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Happ requested a statement from the Council backing the League of Cities & Towns regarding. House Bill #73 which deals with state/local revenue sharing. The League has requested all cities to send in resolution of support. This would amount to 5% of the State General Fund with approximately 14 million generated annually.
