11.J.1. REGIONAL SLUDGE TREATMENT FACILITY - ODOR <br />CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS PHASE 1- REIMBURSEMENT <br />TO WCG, INC. WORK AUTHORIZATION #6 FOR <br />ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING/CONSTRUCTION SERVICES - <br />CHANGE ORDER #2 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lowther, for discussion, to approve staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Under discussion, Director of Utility Services W. Erik Olson said the Board <br />authorized WCG, Inc. to engineer and construct necessary maintenance improvements to the odor <br />control system about a year ago. During that construction other issues arose that required <br />additional engineering services, and WCG, Inc. has not been reimbursed for those engineering <br />services. <br />Commissioner Neuberger asked for a clarification of the extension not being <br />incorporated into this phase of construction. <br />Director Olson explained that when they reviewed the designs the construction proved <br />to be very costly so they limited the work to engineering. <br />Chairman Macht asked the status of moving our sludge to St. Lucie County. <br />Director Olson had been in contact with the consultant for St. Lucie County and they <br />are generating an Interlocal Agreement, but it would be 2 or 3 weeks before they get a response. <br />Chairman Macht inquired if there was any consideration of more than just an <br />agreement for use such as partial ownership that would convey certain rights to us. <br />Director Olson said this was suggested in the beginning and they prefer we be a long <br />term (20 year) user. <br />Chairman Macht called the QUESTION, and the motion carried <br />unanimously. (The Board authorized the release of funds to WCG, <br />Inc., in the total amount of $8,423.75, for additional engineering <br />services related to Change Order No. 2, Phase -I of the odor control <br />improvements to the Sludge Treatment Facility.) <br />SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 26 <br />
