• <br />Included in the plans were firm cost estimates for construction <br />totalling $113,000.00. The Department of Utility Services wishes to <br />proceed with the project by adoption of a Resolution. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The bids for the project have been opened and the low bid was <br />$99,977.50 made by Tri -Sure Corporation. This company and the bid have <br />been approved by the consulting firm of Masteller & Moler Associates, <br />Inc. The total estimated project cost for use in the preliminary <br />assessment roll is $126,080.00 at a cost of $1,970.00 per connection. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners authorize awarding the bid to the low bidder, Tri -Sure <br />Corporation, and execute the contract documents for the subject <br />project. These documents will be forwarded under separate cover. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that this is his neighborhood; he <br />lives at 1656 71st Court; and he asked the Attorney if he should <br />vote on this issue or not. <br />Attorney Vitunac recommended that Commissioner Scurlock do <br />vote since this is not anything relating to a personal financial <br />gain, and he has let it be known that he does live in this <br />neighborhood. <br />Asst. Utilities Director Jeff Barton advised that this <br />project was before the Board on September 15th, at which time the <br />Board authorized staff to go ahead with the design, bid the <br />project, and go through the workshop hearings. He informed the <br />Board that they held a public meeting with the individuals <br />involved on March 8th between 7:30 and 9:30 P.M. in the <br />Commission Chambers and reviewed the project. <br />Mr. Barton explained that staff is proceeding a little bit <br />differently than they have in the past with such a project. <br />Usually they have worked based on estimates, and this is the <br />first time they actually have the hard costs. The project has <br />been bid; there were four bidders, and the low bid came in tower <br />than the engineer's estimate. The majority of the costs are <br />known - the total cost of the project as proposed and bid is <br />$126,060, which includes the low bid of $99,977.50 plus <br />engineering costs, inspection fees, reserve for contingencies, <br />37 <br />MAR 15 1988 <br />NOOK 1 FADE 206 <br />
