ROLL CALL COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: GALLIGAN, JANNEY, KNIGHT, SPINELLI COUNCIL MEMBERS ABSENT: O'MAHONY CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE BURLINGAME HIGH SCHOOL AQUATIC CENTER PROJECT City Manager's memo of January 7 , 1999 recommended council authorize an additional contribution of $166,695 toward the construction of the BHS Aquatic Center. Funds would be transferred from an existing SF PUC Right of Way Capital Project. On January 5 the high school district opened bids on the Aquatic Center. Four bids were received and the low bid was $1,350,000. The total project costs based on the low bid exceed the project budget by $248,695. In reviewing the bid breakdown, over $188,000 of the excess costs are for the building portion with is 80-90 percent for the city's benefit. Since the high school district is scheduled to award the project on January 14 and we wish to avoid further delay to the project, he recommended the additional contribution. Councilman Spinelli questioned the bid breakdown price for "walls" costing $85,000. Councilman Galligan reviewed the mathematics of project and interest earned on the contribution of $1 million the city made last year. Mayor Janney hoped we could move ahead with the project.
