Commissioner Fletcher asked about the possibility of <br />County work forces performing the work that has not been <br />completed. <br />Mr. Robbins reported that there is about 150' of pipe, <br />and Administrator Wright felt that County work forces could <br />lay that amount of pipe. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked about the contradiction in <br />Mr. Robbins letter where he stated that the delays were <br />avoidable delays, but recommended that we continue with the <br />same contractor. <br />Mr. Robbins explained that what he refers to in his <br />letter is that 218 days have elapsed and the contractors <br />have only been on the job about 31% of the time. His <br />opinion would be since there was time available for the work <br />to be -performed that anything over the contract period that <br />could not be justified could be considered avoidable delay. <br />He continued that since that letter was written, requests <br />for time extensions have been received, and they are in the <br />process of evaluating them. Mr. Robbins noted that while he <br />has made a recommendation that Bain Underground Utilities be <br />allowed to complete construction, he has not made a <br />recommendation as to what he would consider a reasonable <br />amount of time or recommended anything about liquidated <br />damages. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked Gary Scheidt of'Bain <br />Underground Utilities if he had a date in mind when this <br />system can be completed. <br />Mr. Scheidt stated that he could not answer that <br />question right now because there are three or four <br />outstanding problems that have to be resolved before the <br />work can be completed. It should be completed by the end of <br />this month if everything goes as it should. Mr. Scheidt <br />then informed the Board that he asked the engineers on <br />August 25th if he -should pave the entrance driveway to <br />77 <br />OCT 6 O� <br />,5-1,PnE 6t0 <br />
