Davis, P.E. , : REFERENCES: 1) Invoice from Colkitt Sheet Metal <br />Public Works Director and Air Conditioning, Inc. dated 9-8-82 <br />along with Partial Pay Request Form <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The County entered into a contract with Colkitt Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning, Inc. <br />in the amount of $25,101 on July 12, 1982 for air conditioning the County Jail. The con- <br />tract time was 30 days. The Contractor has installed six of seven units and the remaining <br />unit is being installed prior to September 10, 1982. The electrical contractor has had <br />a delay in material shipment and the.air conditioning contractor has been unable to <br />proceed. <br />Since all air conditioning units are located on the site, and all but one are <br />physically installed, the contractor is requesting a partial payment in the amount of <br />$12,380. This payment is intended to pay for the equipment. �No partial payment is <br />provided for in the actual contract. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Since the air conditioning units are located at the County Jail and the delay has <br />been caused by the electrical contractor, it is the Public Works Department's opinion <br />that a partial payment is justified. However, a 10% retainage is standard county <br />operating procedure. The following alternatives are presented: <br />Alternative No. l <br />Deny partial payment. This action will place the contractor <br />in a delinquent posture with the material supplier. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />.Approve partial payment of the $12,380 material cost, less 10% or <br />$1,238, thereby releasing $11,142 to the contractor. This will allow <br />the contractor to pay for materials delivered to the site. <br />RECOMNUMATIONS AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that partial payment in the amount of $119142 be approved. <br />Funding-906-523-34.61.to be from Account No. 001 Unencumbered balance as of <br />9/8/82 is $S7,060. <br />10 <br />
