ACTION NARRATIVE
8:04:21 AM
CHAIR JOHN COGHILL called the House Rules Standing Committee
meeting to order at 8:04 a.m. Representatives Coghill, Olson
(via teleconference), Neuman (via teleconference), and Millet
(via teleconference) were present at the call to order.
8:05:39 AM
^Approving contract for ceiling replacement in House leadership
offices
8:05:50 AM
CHAIR COGHILL announced that the committee would consider
approval of the contract for ceiling replacement in the House
leadership offices. He informed the committee that $71,734 is
the cost remaining to complete the ceiling and lighting fixtures
for both the Speaker's Office and Majority Leader's Office.
8:06:53 AM
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN requested a brief description of the work
that has been performed in these leadership offices.
CHAIR COGHILL noted that the ceiling replacement is just one
portion of the work that has been done. He then explained that
normally such a contract approval would be considered by
Legislative Council. However, Legislative Council wasn't able
to gather a quorum for a meeting to consider approval of the
contract to complete the ceiling in the House Chambers and the
Speaker's Office. Therefore, the House Rules Standing
Committee is addressing the matter [in order to proceed moving
forward in a timely fashion.] Chair Coghill then explained the
office movement that's occurring in relation to the remodeling
of the new legislative building, the Thomas B. Stewart building,
which is separate from this ceiling replacement.
8:08:50 AM
PAM VARNI, Executive Director, Legislative Affairs Agency, in
response to Chair Coghill, confirmed that part of the ceiling
replacement is to preserve the existing decorative ceiling,
which is why an architect was hired. The aforementioned may
have resulted in a bit higher bid. In the new Speaker's Office,
one half of the ceiling is the existing decorative ceiling and
the other half is not. Therefore, dropping the ceiling will
make the ceiling consistent throughout, she stated.
8:11:09 AM
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN moved that the committee approve the award
of ITB 498 to North Pacific Erectors in the amount of $71,734.
There being no objection, it was so ordered.
8:12:20 AM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Olson, Neuman,
Millet, and Coghill voted in favor of approving the award of
$71,734 to ITB 498 to North Pacific Erectors. Therefore, the
aforementioned award was approved by a vote of 4-0.
8:12:35 AM
CHAIR COGHILL, reflecting on his transition to the Senate,
related his appreciation for everyone he has worked with in the
House of Representatives.
8:12:51 AM
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT thanked Rynnieva Moss, staff to Chair
Coghill, for all her hard work and for all the help she has
provided to new legislators.
8:13:19 AM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Rules Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 8:13 a.m.
