DISMANTLE THE SHEET IRONER AND MOVE IT THREE BLOCKS. HE CONTINUED THAT WARRENS LAUNDRY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THE EQUIPMENT TO FT. PIERCE, WHICH WOULD BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE. COMMISSIONER LYONS MADE THE COMMENT THAT RICE BROS.'DOES THE LAUNDRY FOR THE AMBULANCE SQUAD AT NO CHARGE. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE KONTOULAS COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY WOULD BE PENALIZED BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR IF THE EQUIPMENT HAD TO BE REMOVED BY THE CONTRACTOR. HE STATED WE HAVE ALREADY INVESTED $154 IN ADVERTISING. HE CONTINUED THAT THE IRONER AND WASHER ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION; AND HE DID NOT KNOW IF WARRENS LAUNDRY PLANS TO USE THE EQUIPMENT OR USE IT FOR PARTS. SIR. KONTOULAS STATED THE ESTIMATED COST ON THIS LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT WAS BETWEEN $40,000 TO $50,000 WHEN l PURCHASED - THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT WAS BETWEEN $28,000 TO $30,000. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REPORTED THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISCONNECT THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT OURSELVES, BUT NOT THE LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT WONDERED IF WE COULD REJECT BOTH BIDS AND GIVE THE LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT TO THE AMBULANCE SQUAD; THEY COULD THEN HAVE IT REMOVED. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT IT WOULD COST $2,500 TO DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THE AMBULANCE SQUAD WAS NOT IN A • POSITION TO DO THIS. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE KONTOULAS MENTIONED THAT A ROOM 25' X 30' WOULD BE NEEDED TO HOUSE THE IRONER ALONE. HE SUGGESTED THAT WE KEEP THE COMMERCIAL GIFT SHOP CABINETS. MR. KONTOULAS MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE ONLY TWO POTENTIAL BIDDERS FOR THE LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, AND PLAN TO KEEP A PORTION OF THE LABORATORY EQUIPMENT FOR THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT. WILLIAM KOOLAGE, 815 26TH AVENUE, FELT THE BID SHOULD GO WHERE THE COUNTY AND THE TAXPAYER WOULD REALIZE THE MOST BENEFIT. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 16 Booz 39 PAGE 37Q APR 4 1979
