ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously <br />approved the contract with RSH Constructors, Inc., <br />and authorized the Chairman's signature. <br />CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that no time extensions <br />have been received to date, and Administrator Wright <br />reported that construction will begin in 60 days after all <br />shop drawings are approved. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board <br />approve Change Order #1 re the sales tax exemption <br />for construction of the IRC County Jail. <br />Commissioner Wodtke assumed that this was a negotiated <br />item, but asked why we should ask give the contractor the <br />benefit of savings on the sales tax, and Attorney <br />Brandenburg explained that saves significant paperwork and <br />attention and adoption of a procedure by the contractor. <br />Initially there was an understanding that both parties would <br />share in the cost savings and their original proposal stated <br />they would receive $37,000 in savings and the County would <br />be guaranteed some $20,000. That was negotiated the other <br />way around, however, so that the County would be guaranteed <br />a minimum of $40,000 savings and any savings above that <br />would go to the contractor to the extent of $30,000; if <br />there was more than that, we would share 50-50. The idea <br />was to negotiate it on the basis that it would give them the <br />incentive to try to obtain the most possible tax savings. <br />The County is protected because we get ours right off the <br />top. Attorney Brandenburg just wanted the Board to be aware <br />90 <br />APR 101965 <br />L <br />BOOK 60 RR;,E 571 <br />
