Commissioner Bird agreed with Commissioner Lyons in that he <br />preferred to have the bid awarded to a local firm because he <br />would like to see this 2 million spent right here in Indian River <br />County. <br />Mr. Block advised that P.W.R. has been in business for the <br />past one and a half years and is an off -shoot of a company that <br />had been in business for 20 years. He felt pretty comfortable <br />with the firm because he is familiar with the work they have <br />done. <br />William Essot, president and part owner of P.W.R. Corpora- <br />tion, advised that the major subcontractors they will be using on <br />this project are local subs. He noted that their most recent <br />project was the construction of an 80 -unit day care center in <br />Georgia with funding from the Farmers Home Administration. <br />Further, P.W.R. is offering a bond from Hartford, which is the <br />best you can get. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if there was any present litigation <br />with Schopke, and Mr. Block believed that most of that trouble <br />has been laid to rest. <br />A Motion by Commissioner Lyons that the contract be awarded <br />to P.W.R. Corporation, in the amount of $2,255,000, at the base <br />bid plus Alternate #2, leaving in the full maintenance building, <br />died for Lack of a Second. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Bowman, the Board on a 3-1 vote, Commissioner <br />Lyons dissenting and Commissioner Wodtke being absent, <br />awarded the construction contract to the low bidder, <br />P.W.R. Corporation, in the amount of $2,107,000, which <br />is the base bid plus Alternates 1 and 2. <br />Director Dean advised the next step is to get the contract <br />signed by P.W.R. and brought back to the Board for final <br />approval. <br />29 <br />V <br />BOOK 65' F`,a::�E 762 <br />a <br />
