Included in the plans were firm cost estimates for construction <br />totalling $34,500.00. The Department of Utility Services wishes to <br />proceed with the project by adoption of a Resolution. The Department <br />has advertised this Resolution on March 17th, 24th and 31st. The <br />Resolution declaring the intent to have a preliminary Assessment Roll <br />was published August 27, 1987. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The bids for the project have been opened and the low' bid was <br />$35,802.50 made by Collee,Mechanical, Inc. This company, and the bid <br />submitted by them, has been approved by the consulting firm of <br />Masteller & Moler Associates, Inc. The total estimated project cost <br />for use in the Preliminary Assessment Roll is $44,880.00 at a cost of <br />$2,805.00 per connection. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners award the bid to the low bidder, Collee Mechanical, Inc. <br />and execute the contract documents for the subject project. These <br />documents will be forwarded under separate cover.

However, we find that <br />the area is somewhat susceptible to bad water; so; the people who <br />want it are kind of in a quandary because they need the water. <br />In regard to construction cost, Director Pinto advised that <br />they have gotten the preliminary assessment down to $2500, but <br />that figure does not include the county impact fee or meter <br />installation. As the Board knows, the county ordinance requires <br />that people connect when water is available; however, because of <br />the demand we have for water, we have not been running out <br />banging on doors and forcing anyone to make connection. The <br />ordinance does say, however, that if someone is to pull a <br />building permit of any type, they must connect to the water at <br />that time.. Some of the people were willing to put the line in, <br />but did not want to connect, but then when they want to do <br />something to their house, they have to get a permit and they do <br />37 <br />BOOK 73 PAGE 177 <br />
