DEC 51980 a©m -45 PAGF 417 MR. REINHOLD STATED THAT HE CAN ONLY REFER TO DIFFERENT LETTERS WHICH MENTION THE $400, HE NOTED THAT YESTERDAY WHEN THEY HAD THE MEETING, THE COVER PAGE HAD NOT BEEN TYPED, MR. KONTOULAS, ADMINISTRATOR NELSON, AND CHAIRMAN LYONS CONCURRED THAT $300 WAS ALL THAT MENTIONED YESTERDAY. COMMISSIONER BIRD ASKED HOW THE CONTRACTOR WOULD JUSTIFY $400 ON ONE BUILDING AND $300 ON THE OTHER. MR. REINHOLD POINTED OUT THAT IT IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND TWO DIFFERENT CONTRACTS. THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS ABOUT FIVE TIMES AS LARGE AN AREA, HE CONTINUED THAT THEY DON `T PAY ANY ELECTRIC BILLS FOR WORKING AT THE COURTHOUSE, BUT RIGHT NOW THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS AT THE ADMINIS- TRATION BUILDING ARE RUNNING $500-$600 A MONTH. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO WHETHER THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE $400 FIGURE HAS BEEN ON A CHANGE ORDER, MR. REINHOLD STATED THAT IF THE FILES ON THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.WERE CHECKED, A FIGURE OF $400 WOULD BE FOUND ON CHANGE PROPOSALS. MR. KONTOULAS DID NOT AGREE AND FELT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT JUST CAME UP RECENTLY. CHAIRMAN LYONS DID NOT BELIEVE THAT UP TO NOW WE HAVE HAD +' ANY CHANGE ORDERS THAT INCLUDED EXTRA TIME AND POSSIBLY THAT IS WHY THE OVERHEAD FIGURE WAS NOT IN THE CONSIDERATIONS UP TO THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER BIRD ASKED IF THE $400 FIGURE IS SPELLED OUT IN THE CONTRACT OR WHETHER IT JUST CAME UP DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION. MR. REINHOLD REPLIED THAT THEY DOCUMENTED THIS IN LETTERS WITH THE ARCHITECT. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK ASKED IF THE COUNTY AUTHORIZED THE ARCHITECT TO GO TO $400 A DAY. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CONTRACT BECAUSE HE DID NOT KNOW OFFHAND. HE ASSUMED THAT THE BOARD WANTED TO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE APPROVED ON THE BASIS THAT WE WILL VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF THE $400 FIGURE SO THAT WE CAN MOVE AHEAD WITH THE WORK AND GET THIS QUESTION SETTLED AT THE SAME TIME,
