Richard Alderman presented a recap of identified items to reduce Town Center project costs to $7,346,408. Bid contract is for this amount. He also reviewed requested change orders increasing the cost by $970,162 to bring total Town Center costs to $8,316,570. These items are items that affect function and operation, energy and items for a quality structure. Heather Daniel questioned A & P budget and costs available for special projects in 2000. Marilyn explained that approximately the same amount would be available in 2000 for special projects as was available this year. Curtis Shipley inquired about the "apparent" low bidder. Hanna said Jerry Rose and City staff were comfortable with the way the project was bid and the process for determining the low bidder Hanna said that with an investment of the City, all concerns expressed at the Tuesday City Council meeting can be answered. Jim Waselues moved, Alex Jerde seconded that the contract bid agreement and contract change order be accepted and forwarded to the Council. Commission encourages City Council to accept City staff recommendations to add deductive alternates and fund recommended items with off-street parking funds and money from general fund balance. Motion carried. Richard Alderman said the building permit had been submitted. The State Building Code is changing on August 1 and he felt it prudent to submit the permit to insure that it would fall under the Building Code under which plans were developed. Shipley thanked Richard, the contractor, and staff for their work in getting the Town Center to this point. He urged the City Council to bake an investment in the Square, City, parking and enhancement of Fayetteville and the 215` century. Shipley announced that the Farmer's Market was featured in the July issue of Southern Livmg. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
