Commissioner Bowman wondered why the rubble from this project isn't going to the Road & Bridge compound to be used for stabilization material instead of being taken to the Landfill. Director Pinto explained that in this particular case the rubble will be going to the Landfill because it has been expressed by people at the Landfill that they want to use it. However, there will be other projects where we will be under mandate not to put the rubble into the Landfill, and we are considering buying some sump wasteland to use for that purpose. Commissioner Bowman wanted to know why the Fischer proposal was handled by telephone when all the other proposals were in writing and had specified a timeframe, a date of completion, terms of payment, etc. Commissioner Scurlock believed the reason is one of timeliness as he understood that this plant should have been removed before this. Attorney Vitunac advised that something in writing came from Utilities and we signed off on it, but Commissioner Bowman pointed out that this is only a record of telephone communication where somebody got it over the phone and wrote it down. We have written proposals from all the others, but not from Fischer. Director Pinto explained that it wasn't in writing only because Fischer didn't give it to us in writing. We phoned him, but he hasn't sent us a written proposal. Commissioner Bowman wanted to know why Mr. Fischer has not sent us a written proposal, but Director Pinto said he wasn't really all that concerned about it. He either does the job and gets paid what we agree to pay him, or he doesn't get paid. Commissioner Bowman emphasized that everyone else had to give a timeframe, etc., and Commissioner Eggert asked why there was time to get a written proposal from Trodglen and Sheltra. Director Pinto stated he was perfectly satisfied that the quote is a good one, and emphasized that staff is looking for approval today for the amount of money to do it. 55 FEB 1. 4 9 S Boor 76 Fa;t 120
