MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,September 13,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. 17. 2021 ROAD MAINTENANCE PROJECT—FEE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST—BOLTON AND MENK—Continued instead they add a fifth. Those kinds of things with a minor change in scope, Staff-level can approve. Edwards said in fairness to Bolton and Menk this project has been a bit unique in that they awarded to a decent construction outfit but they are smaller than some of their competitors. Therefore,their ability to overlap is not as great as some of the bigger operations out there. Mr.Martini reiterated it is more important to him to maintain a long-term relationship than to dig in on this.He thought it was at least a reasonable discussion to have. Mayor Walsh said perhaps they could have a work session to discuss the item. Johnson said a not-to-exceed is a not-to-exceed. It is nothing against Bolton and Menk. Johnson moved,Crosby seconded,to deny the Fee Adjustment Request.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0.
