AUG 2 2 1984 .,-r <br />BOOK �� Fr.��r.104 <br />Commissioner Lyons noted that, in other words, you <br />actually have chosen your contractor, and Administrator <br />Wright believed that is the biggest advantage. <br />Attorney Brandenburg noted that the individual you hire <br />as a CM has opportunities to be a sort of enemy in disguise <br />as it can be in his best interest to team up with the <br />architect against your interest and designate items as an <br />additional scope of work whereby they both get paid more. <br />From the legal perspective you have an additional person on <br />the scene, which he believed complicates the legal <br />situation, and he felt there is a further conflict when the <br />CM decides it is in his best interests not only to be the <br />manager but also build the job himself. <br />Administrator Wright did not feel the CM should be <br />eligible to bid. <br />Commissioner Wodtke suggested hiring someone such as <br />local contractor Norman Hensick or Ed Netto to be our <br />representative. He noted we had someone on the job every <br />day while the Courthouse and Administration Building <br />renovations were going on, and we were able to document the <br />whole operation. He felt strongly that we need someone who <br />knows construction, and we need them on the construction <br />site daily. <br />Administrator Wright felt what he is referring to is a <br />"Clerk of the Works," and agreed that we want somebody there <br />while the jail is being built someone who knows jail <br />operations as well as someone who knows construction. <br />Attorney Brandenburg pointed out that there is an <br />option in the architect's agreement where we can require him <br />to have a full time on-site representative representing us <br />and we can pick him. The advantage to this arrangement is <br />that if something goes wrong, the architect can't say it is <br />our man's fault. <br />M <br />
