7 Councilman Keckley moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO , 6147 APPROVING CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR 1969 -1970 DEWATERING PROGRAM FOR REDWOOD CITY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO , 1 --64 ; AND, AUTHORIZING CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS THEREFOR , seconded by Councilman Rosselli . Councilman Henderson inquired whether program is substantially the same as in the past , or expanded from last year ' s , and Mr . Reiter advised program will now include dewatering and maintenance ; that maintenance included at this time to insure lower rate in event grading at levee is to be done . Dewatering will be minimal , since less area is now in raw state ; more of the project is being drained by storm drains , and while the moratorium situation exists , no more than necessary will be done . Going to bid at this time will enable prices to be available . Council questioned whether funding would be more appropriate under M & 0 than under reclamation bonds , and City Manager advised that if it develops that maintenance work is done , the matter can be reviewed and , if appropriate , charges could then be made against M&O . Motion carried on roll call vote . Councilman Arnett moved to adopt Resolution approving and authorizing execution of supplementary agreement between City and Bert A . Betts and Associates , seconded by Councilman Weymouth . i Councilman Arnett requested a review of the circumstances of the original agreement . City Manager stated agreement provided for lump sum payment of $7500 upon completion of the report , and added the request for supplementary agreement is initiated by Staff and not by the consultants concerned , because of substantial out -of -pocket expenses incurred in travel between Redwood City and Sacramento , as well as several meetings . The agreement does not provide for expenses in addition to fixed fees , and the $7500 payment will not be exceeded . Staff recommendation is to amend original agreement to allow payment of 55 , 000 upon submittal of preliminary report , with the balance to be paid upon acceptance by Council of the final financial report . He pointed out further that , in other contracts executed by the City, provision is made for periodic progress payments as services are performed , up to a certain point . Responding to concern that this might set a precedent , City Attorney assured Council that City is obligated to pay $7500 and nothing more in this first phase . Councilman Weymouth agreed that reimbursement of out -of -pocket expenses is valid request , but felt agreement should provide for an advance , but only on submittal showing difference between advance and balance held . It was felt the intent of the agreement should be clarified , and Councilman Henderson moved to refer back to Staff for redrafting , seconded by Councilman Keckley and carried .
