_ TO: ©ATE: <br />The Honorable Members of the July 26, 1983 FILE: <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Michael Wright, <br />County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Projects 8301, 8302,8303,8304,& 8305 <br />Double Surface Treatment Paving <br />Improvements - Change Order 8301-1 <br />P <br />FROM: James w. Davis, P.E. , REFERENCES: <br />Public Works Division <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />During the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on July 6, 1983, <br />a Contract in the amount of $135,800 was approved for the subject projects with <br />Dickerson Florida, Inc. When the project was advertised for bids, no performance <br />bond was required since no single project was -estimated above $30,000 and the <br />Public Works Division wanted to encourage local contractors without bonding <br />capabilities to bid. There was a provision in the bid documents that the County <br />reserves the right to construct soil -cement base under its present annual contract. <br />At this time, the Public Works Division staff recommends deleting 14,667 s.y. <br />of soil -cement base from the approved contract thereby reducing the contract <br />amount from $135,800 to $96,932.45. The 14,667 s.y. of soil -cement base for <br />the 32nd Avenue project and the 1st Street project has already been constructer <br />using the annual bid price of $2.65 -per square yard which is the same as the <br />recently bid price. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Alternative No. 1: <br />To comply TiETTlorida Statutes which requires a Performance Bond for any "Public. <br />Work" contract in excess of $100,000, staff recommends deleting 14,667 s.y. <br />of soil -cement base from the subject contract. <br />Alternative No. 2: <br />equest D3:r erson Florida, Inc. to provide a performance bond in the amount <br />of $135,800.. This would involve an additional cost to the County of approximately <br />$1,500. <br />RECOAVOMATION AND FUNDING <br />The Public Works Division staff recommends approval of Change Order 8301-1 <br />deleting 14,667 s.y. of soil -cement base from the subject contract thereby <br />reducing the Contract amount to $96,932.45. The Performance Bond for the <br />project is recommended to be waived. <br />There are not additional funding considerations. <br />Administrator Wright reported that there had been a <br />mistake on this and explained that the bids received were in <br />excess of $100,000 , which requires a bid bond, and that a <br />bid bond was not required in the original contract <br />38 ;. <br />PAG - <br />AUC 3 198 ._ <br />3 <br />
