J DEC 12 `SSM BOOK 59 ;,+cE 216 REPORT ON POTHOLES IN LIBRARY PARKING LOT Commissioner Bird reported on the figures obtained from private firms in regard to repairing the Library parking lot, as follows: Trodglen - (for patching only) .................. $1,394 Dennis Smith - (patching & resurfacing with l" asphalt cap) ................. $3,160 Commissioner Bird further informed the Board that he had Road & Bridge take a look at the parking lot, and they came up with three options - #1. Just patching ................. ..........$ 800 #2. Patch and resurface parking area w/12" cap.. $3,340 #3. Patch and resurface just main traffic area.. $2,389 It seems that the holes were patched last year, but this did not hold up and is now even worse; so, it seems that patching is money wasted. The City of Vero Beach does not feel any responsi- bility for maintenance; they say it is a County library and belongs to the Library Association. We do fund them, and the Library Association is coming to us for help. Commissioner Bird believed there was some confusion about this being included in the budget last year, and it did get left out. It is, however, an emergency situation and has to be addressed. Chairman Scurlock asked about the idea of us coming up with half and asking the Library Association to come up with the other half through a fund drive. Commissioner Bird felt something of that sort would be fine. He asked if it is desired that they go out for bids on resurfac- ing because they don't have comparable bids. It appears our cost in-house is pretty much the same as Dennis Smith; although, we would be putting down 12" asphalt rather than 1". Chairman Scurlock noted that we could do it in-house and allow them to stagger their payments back to the county. Administrator Wright pointed out that all we would do in-house would be contract out to Dickerson. 64 M -I
