that could not be done as the area was too small. We told him <br />that he did not have any alternative and to go ahead and put <br />those 23 people in there. The average office space is 115 sq. <br />ft. per person, and if the rest of the building was designed that <br />way, we could probably put half the county in this building. We <br />took as much of the area as we could to clear it out, and we <br />expect to use the modular type offices which will allow us to get <br />maximum use of the square footage. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that of the 3 bidders, the low <br />bidder was disqualified. <br />Lynn Williams, Manager of Building & Grounds, felt the <br />question of disqualifying them was up to the Board. Jim Wright <br />Construction, Inc. took it on themselves to include an alternate <br />within their original proposal rather than listing it as an <br />alternate and a deduct. They went from solid core doors, as <br />specified, to hollow core doors which reduced the bid <br />substantially. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if the hollow core doors would meet <br />the fire standards, and Mr. Williams stated that 90% of the doors <br />in this building are solid core with metal jams, and that is what <br />was specified. When he went back to the low bidder to get him to <br />verify that, that is how the cost went up to $64,620. Mr. <br />Williams felt it was up to the Board to waive the irregularity, <br />throw the bid out, or rebid the job completely. <br />Attorney Vitunac understood that the difference between the <br />original $60,850 bid and the $64,620 bid was arrived at by Mr. <br />Williams simply multiplying the $200 price per door times the <br />number of doors. <br />Chairman Scurlock understood from Attorney Vitunac that the <br />$64,620 bid from Jim Wright Construction is a legitimate bid, and <br />Attorney Vitunac confirmed that it is. <br />JAN 26 1988 <br />53 <br />BOOL` 70 F' E 711 <br />
