« * <br /> ti O�•DEC� <br /> - C <br /> V �e . <br /> . ��[LINO�`' , <br /> March 27, 1997 <br /> PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> N0. 97 - 33 <br />'� MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: 7ames L. Williams, Jr., City Manager <br /> • Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works <br /> � <br /> SUBJECT: Watermain Extension Contract <br /> Comments Re: 3/27/97 Fombelle Brief <br /> We have had a chance to quickly review Mr. Fombelle's brief, which we received today and is <br /> included in the material related to this agenda item. While we believe that this brief unfairly and <br /> incorrectly characterizes the investigation conducted by the City's Engineering Division, we find <br /> no new information pertaining to this matter. In this regard, it is consistent with our <br /> understanding of Council's desire not to receive any new information on this matter after the <br /> March 17, 1997, meeting. <br /> While we have neither the time nor space to respond again to each of Mr. Fombelle's claims, <br /> we are satisfied with the following: <br /> � The City Engineering Division staff did a proper investigation of the reference information <br /> provided by Entler Excavating with regard to watermain construction work; and, <br /> � The reference information received does not indicate that Entler Excavating has significant <br /> recent experience with the construction of large diameter watermains; <br /> � Therefore, we do not believe that it is in the City's best interest to award this contract to <br /> this contractor. <br /> cc: John W. Couter, Corporation Counsel <br /> Entler Excavating <br />
