(Citywide)
Thank you. Next item is going to be. Item 32 Report from Public Works Recommendation to execute a Third Amendment to contract with all American asphalt for as needed street improvements. Increasing the contract amount by an additional 15 million citywide. There's a motion and a second. Any public comment? Call it. Okay. On this item. Right on the asphalt. Yes. Please come forward about it. Okay. Here's another. Hi again, Jacob. Were second district. So I have reservations about the American asphalt contract because as I understand it, they are currently being audited by the city auditor's office. So I'm out of breath. Furthermore, I got some tweets. Somewhere that I wrote it all down on the. The nature of the $15 million that they're asking for. The agenda item itself was only about two pages. They listed they say that there's six items that are the costs of ballooned in an unforeseen manner that they didn't account for. I don't know, government contracting, but it's the sort of thing where they did not in the agenda item they don't specify what these are, what the current contracted rates are, what the new projected prices are, any alternatives. But they do say that one of the projects is for airport resurfacing. But I also noticed that LGB got an FAA grant to the tune of $15.3 million to do exactly all that work as I understood it. And I don't know. I'm just not sure. Sorry. I'm out of breath and this is not a good comment. But yeah, I would really be. Hesitant to just approve this outright. And I would ask the council to wait until Laura Dodds work is finished on the audit. Thank you. Thank you. There's a the motion in a second is do do we have a response to the order question. I think that's I should be addressed. We're not aware of an audit, but Craig's here to talk about the project if you want. It's listed. I mean. Well, let me maybe maybe the maybe Mr. Beck can refer to that. Thank you. You may remember city council. I am happy to address that. The city auditor's office has reached out and to my knowledge is auditing a number of large contracts within the city, including the All American asphalt contract. We've been working with Auditor Dodd's office for probably six months. We thus far have not received a final report or an A had them identify any major issues. I can also speak to the items that were requesting cost increases that the Council would like that. We have the report. Is any council councilmember need additional information? No. Okay. Go ahead. Okay. So there's a there's a motion in the second in front of us. Councilman Mango Councilman Austin. Nope. Okay. Please cast your votes. See this.
