CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF BY APPROVING THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN WE ARE EFFECTIVELY APPROVING THE FINAL PLAN FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD. MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE RECEIVED A CALL FROM SUPERINTENDENT BURNS, WHO HAS WRITTEN THE BOARD A LETTER STATING THAT THEY HAVE APPROVED THE PLAN SUBMITTED TO THEM BY MR. SINGH. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF MR. KONTOULAS HAD ANYTHING TO RECOMMEND, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT HE LIKES THE ALTERNATE PLAN PRESENTED FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION OFFICES, WHICH IS MORE FLEXIBLE. HE NOTED THE APPROVAL HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM ALL OTHER AREAS, AND IT IS NOW UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED.BY.COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTED BY CONNELL, METCALF & EDDY INCORPORATING THE ALTERNATE PROPOSAL FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION OFFICES. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A CONTRACT FORM, SOME OF WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED, AND HE HOPED THAT BY THE NEXT MEETING THE BOARD MIGHT GIVE FINAL APPROVAL. THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF BIG HURDLES THAT HAVE TO BE OVERCOME, AND HE WOULD SUGGEST DISCUSSION OF SUCH THINGS AS THE PERCENT- AGE THAT IS GOING TO BE CHARGED, COST PLUS OR "NOT TO EXCEED," ETC. HE ALSO FELT THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME DISCUSSION AS TO WHAT THE PRO- POSED COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION ARE NOW. HE FELT IF THE BOARD COULD NAIL DOWN THE BIG DOLLAR FIGURES, THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY A CONTRACT COULD BE WORKED OUT. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED IF MR. SINGH FELT THE ALTERNATE DESIGN FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION ROOMS WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN THE COSTS, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WOULD. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THEIR ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST WORKS OUT AT APPROXIMATELY $21.00 PER SQ. FT. FOR THE HOSPITAL COMPLEX AND $8.70 FOR THE COURTHOUSE. HE NOTED THAT HE FAILED TO ASK HOW THE FINAL SCHEMATIC DESIGN PROVIDED FOR SERVICING THE SCHOOL BOARD WITH UTILITIES VERSUS THE -OTHER PART OF THE BUILDING. 46 JUN • 61,979 800K f
