Commissioner O'Bryan's comments on an inconsistency he had noted, relative to <br />Board allowances for technical glitches, sparked brief debate among the Commissioners <br />regarding whether or not the Board was acting consistently with prior actions. Chairman Davis <br />set forth the importance of upholding the integrity of the bid process, and the lowest most <br />responsive bid. <br />Margaret Palmer, President HydroMentia, Inc., wanted the Board to know that <br />the $170,000 which would be saved by using H & D could not be applied elsewhere. She <br />applauded Public Works' perseverance with this project and spoke about the effectiveness of the <br />Algal Turf Scrubber. Ms. Palmer thereafter offered to provide any interested parties with <br />additional information on the Algal Turf Scrubber. <br />Regarding Ms. Palmer's above comment, Commissioner Solari felt that the <br />taxpayers would still be saving $170,000. <br />Director Davis noted that a summary of staff's recommendation was on page 464 <br />of the backup, and he sought and received confirmation that the entire recommendation was <br />included in Vice Chairman Flescher's Motion. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan questioned the $200,000 contingency amount set aside for <br />Change Orders or work directives which were included in staff's recommendation. <br />Administrator Baird remarked that this dollar amount could be brought back to <br />the Commissioners at a future time, if necessary. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-1 <br />vote (Commissioner O'Bryan opposed), the Motion <br />carried. The Board: (1) approved to award the <br />construction contract to H & D Construction Company, <br />Inc. and approve the License Agreement with <br />40 <br />November 18, 2008 <br />
