Phase I of the Jail could be made up in Phase II. Mr. Crosby did <br />not know who told Mr. Speakman this and admitted his knowledge of <br />the situation would have to stop with his conversation with <br />Norman Dean. <br />Mr. Crosby pointed out that when the general contractor's <br />bid .was awarded to Schopke at the May 28th meeting of the Board <br />of County Commissioners, Mr. Stroud specifically mentioned that <br />Schopke was proposing to use Willo Products, but at no time did <br />he mention who the sub -subcontractor would be. He then listed <br />the following objections that he got from Mr. Sonny Dean and <br />various representatives.of the architect's office for changing <br />from Willo to Dean Products: <br />1) That Schopke had listed Willo Products and could not change. <br />2) That Dean Products was not an approved subcontractor. <br />3) That Dean Products was not proposing to use Electronic <br />Systems, Inc. <br />In response to the above objections,•.Mr. Crosby pointed out that <br />the general contractor has the right to change a subcontractor <br />for good cause; Dean Products is synonymous with Southern Steel <br />Company, which is on the approved subcontractors' list; and no <br />mention was made at that meeting several weeks ago that Wil.lo <br />would be using ESI either. He believed that somebody had to have <br />made an assumption that Willo was going to use ESI, because at <br />that point even he, himself, did not know which sub -subcontractor <br />was going to be used. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked Mr. Crosby where he got all his <br />information, and Mr. Crosby said Mr. Ben DiPalma of Frizzell <br />Architects had written him a letter saying that Schopke could not <br />change from Willo to Dean Products. In that letter, however, Mr. <br />DiPalma stated that Schopke could change the electrical <br />subcontractor from Brewer to FMR. It was stated that there was a <br />reason for changing the electrical subcontractor, but not the <br />other. Mr. Crosby further advised that Mr.Sonny Dean had stated <br />that Dean Products was not approved, and we discredited that. <br />He, Mr. Dean, also said that Dean Products was not using ESI, and <br />67 4 <br />JUL 2 1986 BOOK 6 4 c.897 <br />
