approximately $79,000.. However, this writer was able to negotiate <br />with the City of.Vero Beach to provide a completely separate service <br />with meter and is reflected in the electrical contractor's quote of <br />$12,484.00. Also, by using this plan we can reduce the size of the <br />proposed emergency generator which would be a savings of $5,400 to <br />the County. <br />This work is absolutely necessary to build the two jail phases. Time <br />is of the essence to insure the electrical modification is completed <br />before the opening date of Phase I due to the fact that the power to <br />the jail would have to be completely turned off for a period of time <br />to make the modifications. <br />The total cost of both projects would be $62,431.00. Funding would <br />come from Phase II contingencies.. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt the basic question is how come the <br />architect didn't figure this out in the first place. <br />Director Dean reported that the architect did advise us some <br />time ago that two pieces of work needed to be completed with <br />Phase I before we could interconnect or even open Phase Il. <br />Number one .was the electrical to provide service to Phase II as <br />it was intended that Phase II would be serviced from the panel of <br />Phase I; however, someone forgot to run the conduit and make the <br />necessary preparations, and now to come back and run the conduit <br />around two buildings and under the foundation of one would cost <br />over $70,000. <br />The Chairman asked if we have the ability to go back to the <br />architect and make them bite the bullet on this. <br />Director Dean advised that the architect is telling him that <br />we were in too big a hurry in Phase II and didn't give them time <br />to complete the plans, but he pointed out'that we had a master <br />plan of the three phases and all the arrangements for <br />interconnection should have been made from the beginning. <br />Attorney Vitunac stated that he has not researched our <br />contract as yet, but he will and believed the architect should <br />either bear or at least share the cost. <br />Director Dean stressed that the problem is that we need to <br />move ahead on this before we move into Phase I. <br />Chairman Scurlock emphasized that if we have to pay for this <br />in order to move on, he wanted to be sure we reserve our rights. <br />41 BOOK �� `',+: E 93 <br />®V 41996 <br />
