MAY 1S EV <br />BOOK <br />60 <br />o FF.a 35 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Division of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners approve the subject proposal document in the amount of <br />$191,724.00 (One Hundred Ninety-one Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-four <br />Dollars and No Cents) by Collee Mechanical, Inc. and thereby authorize <br />the attached contract documents to construct subject utility project. <br />This recommendation is based on the contents of the attached bid. <br />Collee Mechanical, Inc. is to furnish the County with a 100% <br />Performance Bond along with submittal of a letter of commitment to the <br />County that the project will be completed and ready for operation by <br />July 31, 1987. <br />Director Pinto informed the Board that we are trying to <br />cooperate with the school as much as we can in providing <br />utilities. At one time they had their own engineering plan to <br />take the wastewater into the City and not service anything else <br />in the area. We didn't think that was best, and it certainly <br />didn't comply with our master plan. When we told them where they <br />would have to connect to get to the city, it was a little fess <br />than a $300,000 estimate, so, we sat down and negotiated and said <br />let us do the design and decide where it is going to go and we <br />believe the cost for the off-site improvements will be about <br />$125,000. This has been done upon approval of the Board, the <br />problems with the drainage district resolved, the school is well <br />under way and would like to occupy the end of July. Director <br />Pinto believed the only way to get this done is negotiate the <br />construction cost; they are using numbers where the contractor <br />did a very similar job for us about three years ago, and he <br />believed we are doing better than if we went out for competitive <br />bidding. <br />Commissioner Wheeler had a question as to why the school on <br />8th Street would go all the way back to the city for service, and <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that the City was going to provide <br />capacity in their plant to service the school, but now it is <br />going to our plant because they said they would just service the <br />school, not the entire area. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the <br />proposal of Collee Mechanical, Inc., in the amount <br />70 <br />
