MR. KONTOULAS CONTINUED THAT HE HAS ANOTHER COST FIGURE IN- VOLVING THE EXISTING GENERATOR AT THE NEW COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILD- ING. THIS IS NOT A CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL BECAUSE THE WAY THE SPECS WERE WRITTEN, THE OWNER HAS TO UPGRADE THE GENERATOR AND MAKE SURE IT WORKS. MR. KONTOULAS REPORTED THAT HE HAS DISCUSSED WITH TAMPA ARMA- TURE THE DIFFERENT THINGS THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH THE GENERATOR, AND HE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH EVERYTHING THEY SUGGESTED. HE THEN DIS- CUSSED THE PRICE FOR AN EXERCISE CLOCK, OR AUTOMATED TIME CLOCK, WITH WHICH THE GENERATOR CAN BE TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK TO KEEP THE MOTOR IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE BATTERIES CHARGED, HE NOTED THIS IS A DIESEL ENGINE, AND THE DIESEL FUEL MUST BE KEPT WARM. MR, KONTOULAS THEN EXPLAINED THAT THE EXISTING FUEL TANK, WHICH IS BURIED, HAS EXISTING COPPER LINES, BUT THE TANK AND THE GENERATOR ARE TOO FAR APART, AND IT COULD REQUIRE SEVERAL MINUTES FOR THE FUEL TO REACH THE GENERATOR. DISTANCE IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE YOU WANT THE GENERATOR ON IN A HURRY; THEREFORE, A VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS A MUST. THE COST FOR ALL OF THIS IS $3,874. MR. KONTOULAS NEXT REPORTED THAT WE DID RECEIVE THE SECOND REQUEST FOR PAYMENT ON THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND THE FIRST ON THE COURTHOUSE AND GAVE THE FIGURES ON THE AMOUNTS PAID AND THE RE- TAINAGE. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO GIVE THE BOARD A HISTORY OF WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. ON THE THIRD FLOORDEMOLITION IS COMPLETE; ALL NEW STUDS HAVE BEEN ERECTED; ELECTRICAL WIRING HAS BEEN INSTALLED; AND TELEPHONE STREAMS HAVE BEEN PULLED TO THE TELEPHONE CABINET. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THE ELECTRICIANS ARE PULLING WIRE NOW; THE STUDS ARE COMPLETE; AND THAT IS WHY THE ROOF IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE NOTHING CAN BE DRYWALLED UNTIL THE ROOF IS DONE. ON THE FIRST FLOOR DEMOLI- TION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN QUITE A FEW AREAS. MR. KONTOULAS COM- MENTED THAT GOOD PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE ON THE DEMOLITION; THE CON- TRACTOR COULD USE MORE HELP BECAUSE THERE IS QUITE A RAPID TURNOVER IN PERSONNEL. PLUMBING WORK HAS BEEN DONE; FOOTINGS HAVE BEEN POURED FOR THE COMMISSION ROOM, HE FELT THEY ARE WELL ON SCHEDULE AND SHOULD BE WITHIN 40 DAYS OF STARTING ON THE WEST END. DEMOLITION IS ALSO PROCEEDING WELL AT THE COURTHOUSE. 63 JUN 2 51980
