BALCZUN <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />VIA: TERRANCE G. PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVI <br />4 <br />FROM: JEFFREY K. BARTON <br />ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID - AIR CURTAIN INCINERATOR REPLACEMENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LANDFILL <br />BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION <br />On December 12, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the <br />Division of Utility Services to advertise for bids to replace the air <br />curtain incinerator at the Landfill. _(Copy of original memo and Board <br />action attached.) The item and specifications were advertised and <br />bids were opened on January 21, 1987 at 2:00 P.M. Only one of three <br />possible bidders presented a bid to the County for this equipment; <br />two of the three possible bidders purchased the bid specifications <br />for $100.00 each and all three were aware of the County's requeste <br />for bids. A summary of the bids is attached. <br />RECOMMENDATION ` <br />The staff of the Division of Utility Services recommends to the Board <br />of County Commissioners that they approve the following: <br />1. Award the bid to Ryan Sales and Services in the amount of <br />$184,249.00. <br />2. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to <br />sign the contract with Ryan Sales and Services. <br />3. Approve funding from the Landfill Renewal & Replacement Account. <br />Director Pinto informed the Board that one of the possible <br />bidders went out of business, and the other firm that could bid <br />the product is the Coutry firm that supplied our original product <br />using small brick as the fire brick. Our experience with this <br />brick showed it would deteriorate far in advance of the expected <br />life. We went back to the supplier, and they took a hard line <br />stand and would not help us replace the brick. <br />Director Pinto advised that staff is satisfied with the bid <br />received, which is $20,000 less than the estimate, and would ask <br />that it be awarded. <br />26 <br />
