He informed the Board that when he was working <br />for the City of Vero Beach, they got rid of low bid and said that <br />was one of 12 factors to look at and that if reputation and <br />quality were also an issue, they would pay a little more to get a <br />better contractor. The City did this by ordinance, and all this <br />is in Title 1 when the County is ready to get into it. <br />Commissioner Wheeler recommended that we look at the City <br />ordinance. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that we need to get a Motion on this <br />particular subject re payment to Frizzell first, but he believed <br />the Commission has indicated a desire for the Administrator, with <br />the Attorney, to pursue our alternatives in an ordinance form to <br />be brought back to the Commission at an appropriate time. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the <br />payment of $20,114.41 to Frizzell Architects as final <br />payment for all additional services on Phase 1 and II <br />of the County Jail Project as recommended by staff. <br />37 <br />PUR 2 9 1988 <br />BOOK 71 FACE394 <br />
