Discussion ensued at length as to how much a few more'weeks <br />will matter in the long run. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented that he can see some benefits <br />if the contractor is already there on the site, but under the <br />circumstances, with our local builders, we need to be very sure <br />that we do get a good and fair price. He felt just to be sure <br />there is no collusion anywhere, there should be two estimators, <br />and he would like to have our architect supply a list of at least <br />five firms that do this type of estimating. <br />Administrator Wright agreed that having two estimators would <br />make him feel better. As to the difference the delay in time <br />might make, he noted that one problem is that the laundry is <br />planned to be in the new building, and the delay would cause them <br />to have to haul laundry back and forth for 120 people. He <br />explained that it is planned to move the laundry out of the main <br />building and expand the medical area. The Administrator <br />reiterated he would feel better with two estimates, and that he <br />would welcome a Board member as part of the negotiating team. He <br />noted that Commissioner Lyons has been a part of this project <br />since the beginning. <br />Commissioner Lyons confirmed that he would be glad to <br />continue to work with it, if the Chairman desired. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize staff to secure <br />two estimates from consulting firms based on the <br />presentation made by Mr. Bail and to retain the <br />option to go to full bid if negotiations are not <br />successful with RS&H Constructors. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that he wished to have a Fist <br />from Mr. Bail so we can do an independent selection of an <br />estimator. <br />71 <br />
