12.1.2. STAFF UPDATE — SECTOR 3 BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT Public Works Director Christopher Mora used a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file), to update the Board on the Sector 3 Beach Restoration Project. He presented the project summary, update, and anticipated schedule and timeline for constructing Phase I, which concludes on April 30, 2010. He recalled that on February 2, 2010, the Board had approved $439,093.00 of Ranger's proposed Change Order No. 1 for $984,502 for additional sand - processing costs incurred from the additional permitting requirements; however, Ranger and staff are not in agreement on the remaining balance of the Work Order. A lengthy and detailed discussion ensued among Board members, staff, Michael Walther of Coastal Technology Corporation, and Bob Schafer of Ranger Construction, wherein there was a review of events leading up to the current impasse, and a discussion of expenses accrued by Ranger in producing the better quality sand required by the permitting agencies. Also discussed was the reduction in Ranger's transportation costs, resulting from their decision to haul 90% of the sand from the closest mine, which staff has calculated should come back to the County as a cost credit against the balance on Work Order No. 1. Vice Chairman Solari wanted to get an idea of what the total costs were going to be for the Beach Restoration project, and asked Mr. Schafer to supply staff with his figures for the additional 50% (115,000 cubic yards) of sand needed to complete Phase I. Chairman O'Bryan wanted to have each Board member meet individually with staff to review all of Mr. Schafer's figures, after which the Board could make a decision. ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Solari, SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, the Board unanimously approved for each Commissioner to meet individually with staff to review and evaluate all of Ranger's costs for completing 21 March 2, 2010
