Subject: Public Comment -- 8/11/25 CC Mtg., Item No. 5F, Idea Cooperative Contract City Council,
I want to point out a discrepancy in the contract on Exhibit A, Scope of Work. It has two different contract total amounts, $175K and $180K, the $5K difference coming from the hard costs line items. Because nearly everything else refers to a total contract cost of $175K, it is clear to me that is likely the intent but this discrepancy should be corrected when Issac signs the contract. The months in their proposal, which is being converted into this contract's Scope of Work, don't line up either because we are entering into this contract later than the Idea Cooperative intended, with a month lapse. Those line items for July 2025 through June 2526 should be corrected to align with the actual contract period of August 2025 through September 2026.
Other than that, I think this contract is what is intended, although I must say that is a poorly-drafted contract that really should have been revised to be more specific before being brought forward for your approval. The lack of specificity in past contracts have led to less-than-desirable results that could and should be addressed.
Regards,
--Jacob
