BIDS FOR NEW COUNTY JAIL <br />BOOK 6 0 PAr,,F <br />The Board reviewed the architect's recommendations, as <br />follows: <br />Am <br />IV <br />February 25, 1985 FRIZZELL ARCHITECTS <br />The Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />1849 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />s <br />Attn: Mr. Pat Lyons, Chairman o+ <br />NJ0 <br />a <br />C5 <br />Gentlemen: gc ��r <br />Following are our recommendations concerning the bid £ the <br />Indian River County Jail. <br />BASE BID <br />The low base bid at $3,772,800.00 was submitted by RHS Constructors, <br />Inc. The firm enjoys a fine reputation and is, in fact, performing <br />quite well on a new jail for St. Johns County which Frizzell Archi- <br />tects designed. We recommend that their bid be accepted. <br />ALTERNATE NO. 1 <br />The Indian River Jail Administrator is convinced that the roller <br />chain driven operators for sliding cell doors are easier to main- <br />tain than the rack and pinion type operators. We agree and recom- <br />mend acceptance of this deductive alternate in the amount of <br />$1500.00. <br />ALTERNATE NO. 2 <br />We recommend acceptance of the $2339.00 deductive alternate to pro- <br />vide Asphalt Sheet Roofing in lieu of the Modified Bituminous <br />Membrane specified. <br />Both are good, single ply roofing systems with similar guarantees. <br />In our opinion, the Asphalt Sheet Roofing will stand up better under <br />foot traffic, which is a consideration on this project because of <br />the roof top air conditioning units and exhaust fans which will <br />require servicing. Normally, the Asphalt Sheet Roofing is more <br />expensive, but RHS Constructors have offered a credit for its use. <br />ALTERNATE NO. 3 <br />This additive alternate in the amount of $84,900.00 is in line with <br />our earlier estimate. It would include 42 solar panels with piping, <br />valves and storage tanks, fencing, etc. and would provide approxi- <br />mately 65% of the hot water needs for the initial building when <br />fully occupied. <br />Additional heat will be required to boost water temperature above <br />that provided by the solar system for dishwashing and possibly <br />laundry. <br />Based on today's fuel costs, we estimate the fuel savings at <br />$5339. per year. Additional costs would be involved in maintaining <br />the equipment. <br />At the present time it does not appear that the savings will justify <br />the capital expenditure. . <br />Yours very truly, <br />W.
