l <br />U <br />,REJECTION OF SEWER FORCE MAIN BID <br />Administrator Wright reported that one bid was received for <br />the construction of the force main for the sewer on SR60 from a <br />company called Erskine Florida Properties, Inc., of Stuart. We <br />were in competition on bid opening that day with another large <br />project in Fort Pierce. The bid came in at $1,031,150. That is <br />under the engineering estimate and is very close to what we <br />estimated for the job. However, staff felt that with only one <br />bid and not knowing the company very well that we should rebid it <br />even though it will cost us about three weeks delay. <br />Commissioner Scurlock inquired if it has been verified that <br />others will bid this time, and Utilities Pinto commented that <br />they have said so, but this cannot be guaranteed as some said so <br />last time and did not bid. He suggested that we go ahead and <br />rebid just on the basis of receiving only one bid, and if we <br />should receive just one again, then award it, if it is in line. <br />Commissioner Scurlock continued to express concern about the <br />time frame and whether others will bid, and Administrator Wright <br />informed the Board that staff has taken the liberty of tenta- <br />tively readvertising on this. <br />Director Pinto stated that he did not feel there is any <br />problem with the project, and believed people will be interested <br />in bidding. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously <br />rejected the one bid received on the sewer <br />force main and authorized staff to proceed with <br />rebidding same. <br />,-AWARD BID - PUMPING STATION & FORCE MAIN TO COUNTY JAIL <br />The Board received memo of the Public Works Director: <br />93 <br />BOOK � PdnE 391 <br />
