Mr. Ortega reviewed the staff report, noting that it contained the results of the negotiations with James E. Simon Construction Company. Member Crites stated that the Agency had previously approved the contract not to exceed $1,802,005, and he asked why the 10% contingency was included in this recommendation. He said the whole idea of a design/build project was that we don't have to come back and add another 10% into it for contingency. Mr. Ortega responded that the recommendation was worded in such a way that the Agency Board is not authorizing an additional $180,000 for this contract. He said the contingency could be deleted, but that would mean not even minor modifications could be made unless staff comes back to the Board for approval. Upon question by Member Wilson, Mr. Folkers responded that James E. Simon Construction Company was located in Indio. Wilson stated he would abstain from voting in this matter. Member Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize the Redevelopment Agency Board to enter into an agreement with James E. Simon Company and Monighan and Associates (joint venture) in the amount of $1,802,005, and appropriate a ten percent contingency in the amount of $180,200.00 for the design -build services for the Multi -Purpose Recreation Facility. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by a 3-1-1 vote, with Member Crites voting NO and Member Wilson ABSTAINING. X. REPORTS, REMARKS, AND AGENCY BOARD ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION A.
