Commissioner Solari remarked that this is not a case of the lowest price, but whether or <br />not the County can afford the price at all. <br />Commissioners and staff continued debating the pros and cons of issuing an RFP, rather <br />than an RFQ, in order to expedite the Project. The Board also discussed the length of time for <br />which a particular bid would be valid, and whether the use of the upland sand source/s would be <br />viable for the Sector 3 Project. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher believed in view of the time parameters, and taking into <br />consideration turtle nesting season and funding considerations, that working on parallel tracks <br />and going forward with an RFP, would serve to accomplish the job quicker. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan noted that the original intention of evaluating the upland sand <br />source/s had not been specific to the Sector 3 Project, but to provide an opportunity for the <br />upland sand miners to qualify for future projects. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan proposed extending the deadline for issuing the RFQ to allow for <br />Commissioner Wheeler's input. <br />(Clerk's Note: Commissioner Wheeler was on medical leave). <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to extend the <br />deadline for the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to <br />provide for Commissioner Wheeler's input. <br />Two upland sand source providers, Charles Cramer, 10761 U.S. 1, Sebastian, and Steve <br />Smith, Ranch Road Lake Sand Mines, 82nd Avenue, provided their perspective on the <br />complexity and cost of fulfilling the requirements entailed by the RFQ, without knowing that <br />they would be getting the bid. They told the Board that they had received verbal assurance from <br />26 <br />May 5, 2009 <br />
