JUL 3 01990 -I 600K 44 PAG446 COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD AMEND HIS MOTION TO STATE THAT IT IS THE INTENT OF THE BOARD THAT 6TH AVENUE WILL DEAD-END AT U.S.1 WHEN 8TH STREET IS OPENED UP, AND COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER LYONS REQUESTED THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT BE INSTRUCTED TO INCLUDE THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR 8TH STREET ON THE PLANNING MAP. COMMISSIONER LYONS NEXT WISHED TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO GET THE SIGNALIZATION AT U.S. 1 AND 8TH STREET CHANGED FROM THAT REQUIRED FOR A "T" INTERSECTION. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT WE SHOULD JUST LET THE ADMINISTRATOR CHECK UP ON THE PROPER WAY TO HANDLE THIS, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED, NOTING THAT HE JUST WANTED IT ALL TIED UP IN ONE PACKAGE. DISCUSSION RE BIDS RECEIVEDJULY 29TH FOR CONSTRUCTION AT WABASSO BEACH PARK, PHASE A SENIOR PLANNER DAVID MARSH AND ENGINEER .JOHN ROBBINS WERE PRESENT AND EXPLAINED THAT THESE BIDS ON PHASE A WERE JUST RECEIVED YESTERDAY. MR. MARSH INFORMED THE BOARD THAT PHASE A INCLUDES THE BOARDWALK, TWO ADDITIONAL WALKOVERS, THE GAZEBO, THE LIFEGUARD STAND, AND THE ADDITIONAL RAMP FOR THE HANDICAPPED. HE NOTED THAT THE BID RECEIVED WAS APPROXIMATELY $15,000 OVER THE ENGINEERING ESTIMATE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE PROJECT. IT ALSO WAS CONSIDERABLY OVER THEIR INITIAL ESTIMATES WHICH WERE DONE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. HE FELT THE BIGGEST DISCREPANCY IS ON THE BOARDWALK AND GAZEBO PORTION OF THE PROJECT. MR. MARSH STATED THAT HE AND MR. ROBBINS ARE BOTH INDICATING THAT THE COMMISSION MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER REJECTING THE ONE BID RECEIVED AND READVERTISING. THIS WILL DELAY MATTERS, BUT HE DID NOT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A CRITICAL DELAY. HE NOTED THAT SINCE IT APPEARS OBVIOUS THAT WE ARE GOING TO GO QUITE A BIT OVER THE $75,000, THIS WOULD GIVE THEM TIME TO GO BACK AND SEE WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DROP OUT OF THE PROJECT. 5=
