• Page Two Minutes October 18, 1988 6. The invoice from Peat Marwick Main & Company was discussed. Steve Gillett went over the invoice and the breakdown of their expenses. President Jerry Bramlett asked if we had received a report on the prequalification of contractors. Steve Gillett stated the report would be discussed in the General Manager"s report. Vice President Richard Matthews made motion to pay the invoice of Peat Marwick Main & Company in the amount of four thousand seventy-five dollars ($4,075.00). Member Mike Wadsworth seconded the motion. Motion was unanimous. 7. Dale Conger of Espey/Huston reported on the status of the project. He stated the only hold up is approval from Harris County Flood Control District for a ten (10) foot easement along Big Island Slough. This is preventing Harris County"s review of the plans and specifications. Mr. Conger stated that he had brought the prequalifying review of contractors and would present this to staff to examine. 8. General Manager Bob Herrera discussed a response to the letter written to the Authority from Jon Vanden Bosch, Director of Public Works for the City of Houston dated September 9, 1888. In the reply drafted on October 14, 1988, Bob Herrera recommended the Authority not consider interest payments to the City of Houston, but to respond favorably to a cost-sharing of the ownership of a line to be built for the La Porte Area Water Authority by the City of Houston within the plant boundary to provide water to the east side of the plant. Vice President Richard Matthews made a motion to authorize transmittal of the letter to the City of Houston Director of Public Works agreeing to a maximum cost increase of one hundred three thousand three hundred dollars ($103,300.00) over the original contract price caused by the unforeseen escalation of the construction costs of the internal transmission line conveying treated water from the west side discharge header of the Southeast Water Purification Plant to the approved La Porte Area Water Authority east side take-point. It was further moved by Mr. Matthews that the agreed payment be contingent upon receipt of a letter of extension of the time for the giving of notice of the continued effectiveness of the contract between the City of Houston and the Authority. Motion was seconded by Mike Wadsworth. The motion was unanimous. General Manager Bob Herrera discussed the status of the acquisition of the easement from the Coastal Water Authority for the use of the corridor from the Southeast Water Purification Plant to West Main. He stated that an agreement has been reached for a license agreement for the corridor use at a cost not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). The Board had authorized an amount of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00), and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) was budgeted.
