The Board asked various questions concerning the construction schedules. Progress pictures were passed around the Board for their information. Bale Conger discussed the possiblility of change orders from the contractor on design variations that should be a deduction from the total contract. Secretary Claude Graves asked for an opinion of the quality of the contractor from Robert Ray. Mr. Ray stated he had observed Mercer to be an excellent contractor and is easy to communicate with on problems and suggestions. 7. Assistant City Manager John Joerns stated that a signed easement has been received from PPG. However, a forty (40) foot section had been omitted inadvertently. A meeting has been held with PPG and they have stated when they receive a revised metes and bounds, they will sign a revised easement document. Carlos Smith Engineers & Surveyors, Inc. is working on correcting the metes and bounds description. Steve Gillett outlined the correct routing and stated the cost to correct the metes and bounds description will be less than eighty dollars ($80,00). John Joerns reported a final document has been sent to the trustees of Heights Savings for signature concerning the Shoreacres easement. John Joerns stated that all of the participants (Friendswood Development Company, Coastal Water Authority, and the City of La Porte) of the CWA easements have agreed on the language. A letter and a license agreement should be forthcoming as indicated by Ralph Rundle. The fee for the use of this easement should be invoiced. John Joerns discussed the fact that the Contractor had entered into several verbal agreements for fill dirt. One citizen has come forward expressing his dissatisfaction with the quality of the fill dirt. There were no written agreements and the citizen was informed that any verbal agreement between himself and the contractor was outside the scope of the contract between the Authority and the Contractor. The Contractor has instituted a written release agreement to be used. 8. President Jerry Bramlett had no report at this time.
