(4) Ms. Woods apologized for not being at the anniversary on Sunday. She stated she had something to do at her church and she couldn’t get there.

(There were no public comments.)
Mr. Tommy James, Code Enforcement Officer, stated this is a dilapidated burnt structure and they are asking the property owner be given 30 days to bring the structure in compliance.
Mr. McFarland motion to condemn the property giving the owner 30 days to bring the structure into compliance with code.
ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF BIDS:
(a) Upon motion of Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Harvey and unanimously approved Resolution No. 8840 accepting the RFQ Response by Halff Associates, Inc. to provide Engineering Services for the Monroe Regional Airport Offsite Drainage Improvements Project and further providing with respect thereto. (There were no public comments.)
Ms. Woods said this project is in District three and the City calls it the Regional Airport offsite drainage improvement project. She said for those that live in Booker T this is the ditch at the end of White Street where several resident homes are falling in the ditch. She said it is finally on here and the City is going to do something about it. She noted she is the most excited person in the world she is just not standing, screaming, and running around because she did that already. She thanked Mr. McCallister who has worked tirelessly with this, and she thanked the Mayor. She further noted she had everybody in the ditch looking at it and she thanked them all. She thanked Senator Jackson, Representative Pat Moore, Representative Adrian Fisher, and the whole legislative delegation. For the record, she is excited.
Mrs. Ezernack said if Ms. Woods is excited she is excited and she knows how long this has been going on.
(b) Upon motion of Mrs. Ezernack, seconded by Mr. Harvey and unanimously approved Resolution No. 8841 accepting the Base Bid of Amethyst Construction, Inc, in the amount of $3,544,294.95 and Alternate No. 1 in the amount of $71,250.00, for the DeSiard Street Improvements (S. Grand St. to N. 6th St.) Phase 2 Project and further providing with respect thereto. (There were no public comments.)
Mr. McFarland wanted to know the DBE on this project.
Mr. Morgan McCallister, City Engineer, stated the goal was calculated by DOTD through the DBE website at 13.4% and the City set a 15% goal for this project.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know if DOTD is partnering with the City on this project.
Mr. McCallister said no sir, for clarification the City use the DOTD formula and their DBE certification information and search the area for a number of DBEs who are certified, willing, and able to bid on these projects.
Mr. McFarland said they were trying to get this up to at least 20% and this project is 3.5 million.
Mr. McCallister noted roughly 3.6 when you add in alternate number one which is CIPP lining.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know if it was saying the goal or is it saying it shall be.
Mr. McCallister said when the City set goals for City of Monroe projects it’s a minimum. He said the minimum on this project will be 15%.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know what they could do to get it up to 20%. He said he knows what the word goal means but again he assured him that the word goal means it shall be.
Mr. Brandon Creekbaum, City Attorney, noted the normal standard specifications will include terminology that says if the contractor fails to meet the goal then the percentage that they fail to meet is withheld from the final payment.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know if they can do something about the percentage being 20% instead of 15%. He said he is not comfortable with 3.6 million and they say you can only cap it at 15% for DBEs. He said he wanted that raised to at least 20% and he doesn’t know who to ask.
Mr. McCallister said legally he doesn’t know that they could do that, however, the item on the agenda is to accept or reject. He said if the Council reject they would have to find grounds for rejection based on the information that was put out to bid all the requirements were met. He said phase one the goal that was set was 12.74% and they had a 100% participation on that project. He noted the way in which they were able to meet that 100% was because the responsible low bidder was a DBE contractor. He said a 100% woman owned contractor and by awarding that contract they exceeded the goal. He said this particular project was advertised at 15%. They are under budget and the original estimate for this project was 4.6 million and the bid opening resulted in 3.6 million. He stated he is not saying the Council is in a corner to accept the bid but to reject the bid based off of a DBE goal at this point he doesn’t know if that is an option.
Mr. McFarland stated the Council can reject the bid and if the motion fails then this is dead. He said then the City can go back and rebid it with 20%.
Mr. Creekbaum stated under the bid law Louisiana revised statue 38:22:14 subsection B of that statue. He said it says the public entity may reject any and all bids for just cause. Just cause for the purpose of the construction of public works is defined, but is not limited to the following circumstances: the public entity’s unavailability of funds sufficient for the construction of the proposed public works, the failure of any bidder to submit a bid within an established threshold of the preconstruction estimates for that public work as part of the bid specifications, substantial change by the public entity prior to the award in the scope or design of the proposed public work, a determination by the public entity not to build the proposed public work within twelve months of the date for the public opening and reading of bid, and the disqualification by the public entity of all bidders.
Mr. McFarland said this is a hard one for him because again he doesn’t like the percentage. He said before he got here the percentage was low and now he is here, and he wants the percentage up. He said if it comes before the Council you can’t force feed the Council to vote for it if that was the case they wouldn’t need to bring it before the Council. He wanted to know if Mr. Creekbaum is saying that the Council have to vote for it.
Mr. Creekbaum noted the statute allows the Council to reject it and he is not saying the Council have to accept or reject this project. He further noted that he is saying that the statute provides a list of enumerated reasons, and it includes language that says including but not limited too. He said when these matters come before the Council to bid there is a set scope for the project and it comes on the authority to bid the project based on the plans and specifications as they are drawn up at that time. He said the backside is more of administrative approval or disapproval once the bids come in the amounts and the kind of work Mr. McFarland is talking about goes in on the front end before bids are solicited. He said if the Council rejects it, they must have just cause and then in this case the particular question would be is a desire to increase a DBE goal just cause sufficient to warrant rejecting bids under the public bid law.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know if Mr. Creekbaum is saying, it’s not a just cause if the Council wants to up the percentage. He asked if that wouldn’t be a just cause for women and minorities to have a better fight to get part of this 3.6 million.
Mr. Creekbaum noted he thinks a just cause must be akin and the Attorney General’s bear that out to the statutory reasons that are listed in there that or something like it. He said this would be more in line with there has been a change in scope or design of the project. He said he doesn’t know if those are literal changes in scope or design. He said he thinks this is a change in nature of what is required to be eligible to bid on this project an assessment of what the goal should be.
Mr. McFarland stated hearing from Mr. Creekbaum he is taking in every word he is saying. He wanted to know when bids go out do the Council write the specifications before it goes out.
Mr. Creekbaum said no, the Council doesn’t personally write them.
Mr. McFarland stated he is not going to go through this at each Council meeting with them interjecting the percentage without Council saying this is what they want. He said maybe the Council need to have it on the next agenda what the DBE goal shall be, so it won’t be no misunderstanding in future contracts. He said he can prevent it the next go around and future contracts that come before this Council by making sure before any bids go out that the goal of 20% is in there. He noted he may be jumping the gun, but he thought there was a resolution coming from Mr. Muhammad on this matter, but he hasn’t seen that resolution being brought forward. He further noted that the Council need to have a resolution that the DBE goal shall be 20% then they won’t have this fight, and everybody will know before they even bid on it that this the goal that the City of Monroe is going with, and they are not going to deviate from that.
Mr. Creekbaum said that is certainly away to handle that and he said he and Mr. Muhammad have discussed the preparation of an ordinance not a resolution and it is not a matter of one size fits all goal. He said there are federal projects where the City must adhere to the federal criteria in centering those goals. He said him and Mr. Muhammad discussed trying to look at what goal would make sense with city projects and other types of project.
Mr. McFarland wanted to know how long they have been working on it.
Mr. Creekbaum stated he met with Mr. Muhammad maybe 3 to 4 weeks ago and gave him a copy of the ordinances.
Mr. McFarland noted for Mr. Creekbaum to send him a copy because it’s too much procrastination for him. He said they need to move forward, and a simple resolution could solve the problem. He said anything outside of federal contracts the Council want to make sure women and minorities will have a shot at the project percentage. He stated he has said to others who have tried to be dogmatic about contracts if you can’t get the whole pie at least share a piece of the pie and that’s his philosophy. He said he is voting in favor but after this the Council is going to fix these bids and make sure that contractors bidding know what the Council is looking for.

Mr. McFarland said if it was under the consent agenda the Council is still voting on each and every item.

Citizen’s Participation:
(1) Ms. Kenya Roberson, Northeast Black Chamber of Commerce, thanked the Council persons who participated in their Annual Local Government Meetup.

She said hopefully next year they will have everyone to participate because it is a platform that she thinks is needed.
Ms. Woods thanked Ms. Roberson, and she stated that it should have been apart of her announcements because it was amazing. She said not only did they learn a lot about everybody because it was regional and that was very appreciative. She said the food was amazing and the decorations were nice.

He said March of this year he went to the Monroe Street Department to see about them fixing 1713 Bernstein Drive and he was told they would do a work order on it. He noted he understands it takes a while to do work orders, and he came back in October and asked again.

Ms. Woods said she would put him together with Mr. Creekbaum for them to work it through.
