JUN 13 1,989 BOOK 77 ME 72 Attorney Vitunac asked if Mr. Schopke agreed that if after three weeks from today the problem is not solved, we can be back in the same status we are today, i.e.,'that.ECSI would be off the job and we would be pursuing our own remedies with the independent contractor. Mr. Schopke agreed and stated that he felt the County is being very lenient. Commissioner Bird wished to know in the event this gentlemen fixes the part of the system his company is concerned with but the other parts of the system still do not work, if Schopke is prepared to follow through on the warranty on this with whatever subcontractor would be involved. Question arose as to whether ECSI did the whole system including installation of the hardware or just worked with the electronic "brains" of the system. Mr. Ferry advised that if the doors are not functioning properly, it probably isn't the console that is at fault. It generally turns out that it is the ironworker's responsibility and they have not adjusted microswitches properly. His company does not touch the lock or the door, and the ironworker will have to be called back. Director Dean informed the Board that we accepted this job in January of 1988; the warranty expired in January, 1989; and we have been trying to get it fixed for that length of time. Commissioner Bird asked if Schopke, as the overall general contractor, still is prepared, even though it seems the warranty is expired although this was reported within the warranty period, to bring in whoever is necessary to get this functioning to 1000 of its designed ability in the event this gentleman does whatever he says he can with the system and says his part is working but there are still problems Mr. Schopke advised that Norman K. Dean, his subcontractor, continues to assure him by letter that he will do what is necessary to get the system up and running. 72
