completed until late summer or early fall (after the season), that it would not be feasible to spend <br />the extra money. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis agreed with Commissioner O'Bryan's concerns, <br />adding that it would be a cost savings to the County because the inspectors would not be required <br />to stay on the job as long. He divulged that bonus provisions are being considered for all future <br />contracts, and that he proposed it for this contract because there was such a public outcry to get this <br />park open. <br />Administrator Baird acknowledged that the bonus provision was an incentive to <br />expedite getting the park in order quickly, due to public interest. <br />Commissioner Wheeler was concerned that offering a bonus might open up a <br />situation that would encourage Contractors to bid over a longer period of time, so they could get a <br />bonus. He preferred shorting the completion time by 30 -days when negotiating, and adding a <br />penalty to those who do not finish the project on time. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously denied a <br />bonus payment of $500.00 per calendar day should the <br />Substantial Completion be met sooner than 180 days; and <br />unanimously approved the bonus payment of $200.00 per <br />calendar day should the final completion date be met <br />sooner than 30 days for the completion of the punch list. <br />January 8, 2008 16 <br />
