FEB 171982 <br />owir <br />P,jE <br />REINHOLD DRAWDOWN <br />Attorney Brandenburg explained that Reinhold Construction <br />is requesting payment #21 in the amount of $367,205.77 for <br />the work done on the Administration Building, which would <br />allow a retainage of $6,000. He continued that the certifica- <br />tion from the architect was erroneous as it was only a <br />partial release and there were still outstanding balances. <br />The Attorney advised that he met yesterday with Mr. Reinhold <br />and his attorneys and reviewed the whole situation. In an <br />attempt to work out the drawdowns in the contract, they reached <br />proposed agreement with Mr. Reinhold. Attorney <br />Brandenburg commented that the purpose of the agreement is <br />to clearly state that a drawdown of this retainage does <br />notconstitute a waiver; the payment of these funds will <br />not waive any of the County's rights in litigation with <br />the firewalls and painting. He continued that Hercules <br />Kontoulas, Construction Project Representative, indicated <br />there were four releases of lien missing. <br />Administrator Nelson explained that two were unsigned <br />because the subcontractor signed only the last page, and <br />left the front pages unsigned. He added that they were to <br />be picked up to get the proper signatures. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that under Florida Law, <br />material men and subcontractors cannot place a lien on a <br />public works job. Instead, they must look to performance <br />bonds with any liens. The Attorney's recommendation was to <br />have the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the proposed <br />agreement, upon acknowledgment by the Attorney and the <br />Administrator..that the four unsigned claims have been signed. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize the Chairman <br />
