The comparisons are given on the attached sheets. Both bidders are <br />in compliance with specifications and are acceptable. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve and authorize the awarding of this <br />contract to the low bidder, Butler Construction Company for a total <br />lump sum contract price of $1,154,114.00. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked which fund would be used to pay <br />for this, and Director Barton advised that ultimately it will <br />come out of impact fees. Construction was budgeted for this <br />fiscal year in Utilitie's operating accounts, but there is a fund <br />transfer out of impact fees. It is a legitimate impact fee item. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if this will take care of <br />everything that needs to be done now, and Director Barton <br />explained that this will bring the plant up to its ultimate 5 <br />million gallons a day-. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that the only thing this will not do <br />is raise the storage facility that is set too low, and Director <br />Barton explained that the storage is not, part of this contract. <br />Projects Engineer Bill McCain advised that there are 3 <br />separate contracts, one of which is the award of contract for the <br />well construction for $51,500, which is the next item on today's <br />Agenda. He felt that once Contract #1 gets on its way, there' <br />will -be several modifications that will be needed to supply <br />service pumps at the reverse osmosis facility. Staff plans to <br />bring these in as change orders after the general contractor is <br />on the job, thus allowing the County to get a much better price <br />for that work. <br />Commissioner Eggert cautioned them to be careful in what <br />they are doing to the neighborhood with,these pumps. <br />61 <br />APR 51988 <br />BOOK 71 FAH 491 <br />
