Mashburn asked how Muncipal Engineering had applied Section F

Sullivan said it would be like any other item in the contract. He said that at the time of
construction, all of the documents would be reviewed -- they would be reviewed along with the
expertise of the geotechnical engineer and liner installer. Sullivan stressed this was done at the
time of construction. Mr. Sullivan said this was not a bidding requirement, it was a specification
of the project. He said he didn't know if Mustard Seed had a foreman, or someone that met
every aspect. He said someone might need to be hired. Sullivan said he was positive the
company could move earth.
Mashburn said he was understanding that Municipal Engineering's interpretation was that
as long as the foreman or superintendent met the qualifications by the time the job started, then
the terms of the contract were being met.
Sullivan said yes.
Commissioner Ray said that at the time of bidding, the bidders were just put on notice
that this was a specification of what had to take place when that phase of the project began.
Sullivan said this was correct. He said the bidders knew they must come to the job

Sullivan said this was correct He said Municipal provided contract administration and
observation. He said Municipal's role would be to ensure the work was being done according to

Commissioner Johnson said he understood that Municipal Engineering would ensure that
the company installing the liner would have the needed experience or credentials to perform the
work.
Sullivan said yes. He said the contractor would excavate to "subgrade." Then, the
geotechnical person would oversee the installation of the cohesive soil -- the clay. Sullivan said
this person was "somewhat the superintendent." He said Municipal would also oversee this
phase and double-check the procedure. Sullivan said that after the clay was placed and the
geotechnical people "signed off," the plastic liner was placed and this involved an entirely new
crew. He said the people in this crew would provide their own testing. Then, Municipal would
do its testing -- as a separate lab. Sullivan said next, and from this point on, the contractor was
just doing earth work and pipe laying.
