The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met March 11, 1987 at
8:00 A.M. at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section Street,
Fairhope, Alabama
Present: Chairman Mason McGowin; members Buzz Colling, Jeanette
Puckett, Russ Kilgore and M.L. Aust Consulting Engineer
on Airport Project
M.L. told the board a report on the project and discussed difficulties
being being experienced with Newell's electrical subcontractor. He
gave estimate that project was going to wind up between 90 - 100 days
overtime and that liquidated damages were going to have to be
carefully assessed. Mason brought up letter from M & S Electric to
Newell, that he had been sent a copy and how ridiculous the demands
were. That it was just an attempt at excuse. M.L. pointed out that
we had no contract with M&S Electric, only with W.S. Newell. That
Newell was responsible and was at wit's end over the situation.
M.L. presented specifications and contract documents for T-hangars
stating that procedure was designed to bid direct to manufacturers
but they could respond through dealers, that the bid was for the
unerected building only. After we know what building, then the
erection and foundation would be bid separately. The board approved
the bid documents and authorized bids on March 26, 1987. M.L. said
he would see that announcement was properly posted. He named off
several who were interested already.
Mason brought up the hay lease that had been prepared by M.L. for
consideration and said that after thinking about the situation at the
airport he thought a mowing contract with the privilege of harvesting hay
was more appropriate. M.L. said that the lease was set up that
way except that it had no provision for the board to pay. That it was
a "no cost to the board lease" He was requested to make necessary
changes.
Buzz asked if Spitzer relocation was settled. M.L. said that he had
heard nothing more and was going by board's decision not to stir
it up. That Spitzer had been paid what he had submitted.
An invoice in the amount of $5,900.00 from Riviera for the power line
relocation was discussed. That it was for pre -payment and the work had
not been done yet. M.L. said that he was not aware of it having to be
paid for first. That he would check on the situation but that amount
was as approved.
Invoices were approved and Mason was authorized to approve W.S. Newell's
pay request when it was received and recommended by the engineer as
long as this amount was under $25,000.00.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
(Amount of TFS is $27, 066.00)
