CLARIFICATION-PLEASANT RUN/CHAS. PIKE SEWER
Jorge Lanz asked the Board to approve a change order to allow K and I Construction and Dan
Christiani Excavating to upgrade the PVC pipe they will be using in Division B and Division C
of this project. Because Mr. Lanz believed the bids would come in much higher than they did, he
used A2.000 PVC pipe in the bid specifications. Brian Dixon of Omni Engineering said the SDR
35 is a better quality pipe. Mr. Lanz said the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District no longer
allows use of the A2,000 PVC because it is too brittle. He proposed since the bids came in so
low, that the Board allow a change order to SDR 35 PVC pipe. Mr. Lanz said this change order
would add $10,551.59 to K and I Construction's Division B contract, and $50,284.80 to Dan
Christiani Excavating's Division C contract. Mr. Lanz said that even with these additions, K and
I and Christiani are still the low bidders. Engineer Miller made the motion to approve the change
orders, seconded by Manager Goldman and carded unanimously.
CHRIST GOSPEL CHURCH
Engineer Miller said he received a call from a lady who attends Christ Gospel Church. She said
that her father died as a result of a traffic accident he was involved in at the divider in front of the
'entrance to Christ Gospel Church and Hwy. 62. She said a de-acceleration lane is needed there.
Engineer Miller said that there are three dividers on Hwy. 62 that need attention but he doesn't
know where the money will come from to pay for it. Mayor Galligan said something needs to be
done but this isn't the time of year to do it. Mayor Galligan said it needs to be organized and
done when the weather is better and dry. The Mayor said some "slow traffic" signs can be put up
for the time being.
There being no further business to come before the Board of Public Works and Safety, Engineer
Miller made the motion to adjourn at 10:00 a.m., seconded by Manager Goldman and carried
unanimously.
