Is it POSSIBLE that the Council would approve a LINK contract that had NO final numbers on it? Thats like signing a blank check, isnt it? Even THIS Council cant be THAT stupid, can they? Never underestimate City official's ability to do something ridiculous, lacking insight, and/or any sound business principles. No contract should be signed without a thorough review and discussion- not a ten-minute breeze thru. They should have a special meeting to fully discuss and debate each and every point so that our residents can ask any questions we may have. The City's history of construction contracts is dismal, at best, and adds more need for a thorough review this time. the past two have had NO deadlines built in, and as a result the CC project AND the bathrooms took OVER TWO YEARS to complete, with NO penalties assessed. No deadlines or penalties is unheard of in the construction contract industry. 99.99% of EVERY OTHER construction contract has them, why not ours? Incompetence? Ignorance? Stupidity? Lack of common sense? Incompetent leadership? Any or ALL of the above?
