JUN 5 1995 BOOK EA PV7183 Director Pinto informed the Board that the firm name of Sippel, Masteller, Lorenz & Hoover has been changed to Masteller & Moler. He explained that individual work authorizations would be presented to the Board as the jobs came up. The reason for looking at both firms is that Camp Dresser & McKee is an international firm and has great expertise in wetland disposal, such as mosquito impoundments. On other projects, such as line extensions, some plant design, etc., staff feels it would be greatly preferable to work with a local office. He continued that if the Board approves this recommendation, staff is preparing a work authorization for Camp Dresser & McKee to bring us in line with our permitting requirement for the Vista and Gifford plants, which need to renew their operating permits. Vista, in particular, may need some hydrogeological work done on the mosquito impoundments to secure that permit. Commissioner Bird asked if this implies a retainer or whether it is on an "as -need" basis. Director Pinto confirmed that it is on an "as -need" basis so it is not necessary for staff to keep going out on a continuing basis to obtain consultants. Com. Scurlock noted that the international firm is more expensive, and we only will need them in certain situations. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board authorized entering into continuing service contracts with the firms of Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc., and Masteller & Moler as recommended by staff. (Said agreements are on file in the Office of the Clerk.) NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT The Board of County Commissioners recessed at 12:20 o'clock P.M. in order to reconvene as the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the North Indian River County Fire District. Those Minutes are being prepared separately.
