GRAND Executive Director Birkelo stated that he would like Mr. Yee to address AVE. OVERCROSSING the Board on this particular aspect. PROJECT Mr. Yee recalled the meeting of December 1 where the Board discussed the contractor's proposal to have bolted rather than welded splices. It was D~,USSION RE then decided by the Agency Board to stay with the exiSting plan and B 'ED VS WELDED specifications. He then explained the further discussions with the con- S iCING tractor and their desire to have the bolted splices which would shorten the time in terms of an easier construction. He stated that the engineering integrity of the bridge would not be less than what is specified. He remarked that their offer had been changed to $120,000 and would not be split 50/50 as was previously indicated; this would be a credit to the Agency. Lengthy discussion ensued concerning the pressure of time that had been put on the first offer and the contractor's desire to go with the bolted splicing. Mr. Dan Caputo, General Contractor for the project, spoke concerning the discussions held with the fabricator and how they felt that it was of vital importance that the splicing be changed even though the work is progressing with the welded bridge. He stressed that, even though there would be delays in the delivery, it would be more than made up in the installation of the bridge. Mr. William O'Leary, CH2M Hill, designerof the bridge, stated that it was their feeling that the welded bridge was still the better looking and more aesthetic, but the proposal was not theirs. They had been requested to present it. Mr. John Aguilar, Development Director, Homart Development Company, stated that they had been involved peripherally in the discussions. He ---- stated that Homart felt confident that going with the bolted unit is in the best interest of all the parties concerned. 12/15/82 Page 2 [~CUSSION RE Member Damonte moved, seconded by Vice Chairman Addiego, that the South £ TED VS.
