RECOMMENDATION: The Utilities Division recommends that the Board of County Comissioners approve the capital expansion and improvements projects with preliminary cost estimates totalling $1,187,500.00 and authorize DSS Engineers to provide engineering services for the projects at a cost of $109,124.00. Funding is part of FY 86-87 budget with transfers from the Utilities impact fee fund. Commissioner Wodtke questioned the 8-1/2o fee structure for e the engineering services, and Director Pinto felt that the fee structure was fair for the amount of work that has to be done. Commissioner Bird repeated that he relies very heavily on the staff to scrutinize these negotiated professional engineering fees, and Director Pinto noted that many times they even change the scope of work to do away with some duplication and then renegotiate the price. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Lyons having temporarily left the meeting) authorized the engineering to proceed at a cost of $109,124 in FY 86-87, based on recommendation of staff.
