CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING
PENDING LITIGATION WITH P & D CONSULTANTS
CITY ATTY.
CITY MGR. %
That the City Council, by motion, authorize a closed session regarding pending litigation as
follows:
I move that the City Council hold a closed session to discuss pending
litigation regarding a contract dispute with P & D Consultants arising from
the design work on Aviara Community Park project, pursuant to
Government Code Section 54956.9(b)( I).
P & D Consultants contracted with the City to prepare the Master Plan for
Aviara Community Park. P & D Consultants claim that they are entitled to
compensation for changes in the design phase scope of work. City staff
maintains that the revisions were design corrections within the scope of
work activities designated in the design contract.
They are claiming additional compensation in the amount of
approximately $1 81,000. Informal attempts to resolve this dispute have
been unsuccessful to date and the parties are pursuing the contractual
dispute resolution procedures which may culminate in litigation if the
dispute remains unresolved.
