MAY 2 3 1994 BOOK 57 PAGE 129 <br />Chairman Scurlock asked what problems would be <br />encountered if we delay action, and Administrator Wright <br />stated we would have to rebid the item and he felt that <br />additional delay would not benefit the County to any extent. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis pointed out that this <br />stabilizer mixer is a very specialized piece of equipment <br />and all heavy machinery companies do not carry it. Out of <br />the 17 bid solicitations sent out, only two bids were <br />received. The present Rex stabilizer mixer is being used <br />full time on the petition paving and road building programs. <br />This mixer would be an additional machine which would <br />actually save a substantial amount of money by using shell <br />that has been washed off unimproved roads out of the swales, <br />as opposed to mining shell. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the <br />Board award IRC Bid #199 for one new soil <br />stabilization machine to the low bidder, DeWind <br />Machinery of Orlando, in the amount of $58,598, as <br />recommended by the County Administrator. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke asked if we had <br />budgeted this piece of equipment, and Administrator Wright <br />explained that a flat amount of money had been budgeted, but <br />it did not specify any particular piece of equipment. <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt that the wording in the memo was <br />misleading. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />The Motion was voted on and carried <br />unanimously (4-0). <br />12 <br />
