The Neosho City Council met in special session on September 8, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 203 East Main Street, Neosho, Missouri. All seven council members were present (Carl Cobb, Julie Humphrey, Ashton Robinson, Angela Thomas, Tom Workman, Jake Evans, Bret Smith). The meeting covered unfinished business, new business, and a closed session. All votes on action items were unanimous (7-0).
For uh one for the owner's exclusive use, one for the CMR's use for uh things that inevitably come up in in construction. So I think we're well well well insulated there from a dollar standpoint. Um we also have some dollars for things like dumpsters and um toilets, uh temporary toilets and things like that. We track those on time and material, whatever it costs us, is what the city pays. We'll reconcile that at the end of the day and bring those dollars down. So that way we're not charging for 20 dumpsters and we only end up using six. You guys will get the value back if there's 14 dumpsters. So with that. So if you want to go ahead and look at the first page, we've got a list of qualifications and clarifications. If anyone has any questions about those, what those include or don't include, uh be more than happy to elaborate on those further. Uh I talked with Mr. Kennedy this morning about them, uh kind of what what our expectations are of the city and of Branco as a whole. Um, and they've they've also got a list of all of the documents inside of here, which is all the all the drawings and all the specifications all the way through the fourth addendum that came out from the design team as well. If you want to probably switch over to the spreadsheet, but this is the most what you guys are gonna care about the most is the easiest data. Second the last page of this document, which is what I call the GMP breakdown. It shows um our subcontractor recommendations as well as their value and as well as the bid package number that they are associated with. Um we had 24 uh bid packages. We had 90 total bids came that came in, averaging 3.75 bids per package, which in this day and age is pretty awesome. That's pretty good. So I was very excited about that. Um there are some tabulations that we did to just for example, David Kennedy called me out on it right up right away, which was the JT construction uh first line on on concrete is ten thousand dollars more because they had put a note in exclusion for not including the installation around the perimeter footings. We asked what the value of that was for them to install it. It's a it's it was a ten thousand dollar ad. They were still lower than Branco on that bid package, so we're gonna recommend we use them at that revised value. You can see the summary down there about that 12 million five five three. That's basically all the trade packages subtotal. We put two allowance line items below that for your unsuitable soils and the weather that we spoke of earlier. We did break out two alternates uh to give us some flexibility around bid time if we needed them. Uh the patio canopies um are able to be included within the budget, so we wouldn't have included those into the GMP. There was also an option if we were pushing up against budget numbers to switch to asphalt instead of concrete. Um that was not recommended by us, um, especially for heavier truck traffic. Budget allowed us to keep that in. So those are what those alternates in. Only one of those carries down. Um, and then the rest of the items are lined out there.
