0 MR. KONTOULAS EXPLAINED THAT THE NATIONAL FIGURES HAVE BREAK- DOWNS BASED ON DIFFERENT MATERIALS, BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE ARCHI- TECTS HAVE USED TO REACH THIS FIGURE, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THIS IS GERMANE RIGHT NOW, COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT WE CAN ONLY WORK WITH A BALL- PARK FIGURE NOW, AND YOU HAVE TO GET TO ANOTHER STAGE BEFORE YOU GET DOWN TO BRASS TACKS, ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON POINTED OUT THAT QUALITY OF MATERIALS CAN BE CONTROLLED IN THE SPECIFICATIONS, BUT WE CAN ONLY DEAL IN GENERALITIES AND APPROXIMATIONS AT THIS POINT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY DOES NOT FEEL WE GOT $20,000 WORTH OUT OF THE FACILITIES PLAN. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL, ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 10, THAT WE CAN TERMINATE THIS CONTRACT ALONG THE WAY EXCEPT FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM - NOT JUST GENERAL DISSATISFACTION. MR. KONTOULAS FELT THIS IS HANDLED UNDER ARTICLE 10.2, BUT COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THIS STATED "IN THE EVENT THE PROJECT IS PERMANENTLY ABANDONED." ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF TERMINATION IF WE ARE WILLING TO PAY THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, BUT CONTINUED THAT IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM, IT CAN BE SOLVED BY STATING WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE WITHOUT THE PROJECT BEING PERMANENTLY ABANDONED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT A TIME FRAME WHEN THE ARCHITECTS COULD MAKE THESE SERVICES AVAILABLE, AND MR. NELSON STATED THAT THEY ARE READY TO COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY UPON NOTICE TO PROCEED. HE COMMENTED THAT THEY ORIGINALLY FIGURED IF WE GOT THIS SIGNED IN FEBRUARY, WE COULD LET THE FIRST CONTRACT IN SEPTEMBER. CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT BEFORE WE GO AHEAD, WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO DO THE RENOVATION FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD OR NOT BECAUSE THAT CERTAINLY IS INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT. MR. KONTOULAS SUGGESTED WE COULD LIMIT OUR PORTION BY SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IF WE DON'T INCLUDE THE SCHOOL BOARD, THEN THE FEE IS REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF FOOTAGE WE DON T DO, 59 K39wx.40
