3. Cowart Sod - Their home office is in Okeechobee and they were <br />going to call on January 12, 1989 to advise if they could handle <br />this type contract. As of this date, I have not heard from the <br />company. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff's recommendation is to award the bid to Brevard Sod, Inc. as <br />originally submitted. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, that the Board award IRC Bid 89-45 <br />to Brevard Sod, Inc., as originally submitted, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />Under discussion, General Services Director Sonny Dean <br />confirmed that we have an escape clause if we find they are not <br />maintaining it to our standards. However, he was not certain if <br />we have the ability to cancel it when we reach our capacity in <br />the ponds. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we have the ability to buy sod <br />direct from them, and Director Dean advised that we are under <br />contract for this year, but felt we would have that ability next <br />year. <br />Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that we are <br />estimating that there will be $44,000-$47,000 in revenues from <br />harvesting the sod on the property. <br />Chairman Wheeler asked about using that sod when we close <br />the present cell at the Landfill, but Utilities Director Terry <br />Pinto explained that we could do that only if we operated the sod <br />farm ourselves. <br />However, the picture could change in the next <br />year or two where we would be in a position to handle it <br />ourselves. <br />,CPN 2 4 1989 <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />46 <br />FOCI <br />mE 694 <br />
