Administrator Chandler explained that no action is required <br />today, and Mr. Ramos advised that they will be finished with <br />their work on December 24th and would be looking to have the bids <br />out by February. <br />AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH BLEVINS ELECTRIC ON PHASE II OF THE <br />COUNTY JAIL <br />Administrator Chandler advised that as of this morning, the <br />electronics work on Phase II is 98% complete. It is looking good <br />and is going to do just what we expected it to do. He explained <br />that staff is recommending a waiver of the performance bond for a <br />number of reasons: <br />1) We checked Blevins out thoroughly before we made a recommen- <br />dation to the Board, and they have performed well on other <br />projects and have an excellent record. <br />2) Our agreement with them is structured so that they would <br />receive the first payment or 50% upon completion and a sign -off <br />of acceptance by our engineer or architect. If it were not <br />acceptable at that point, we would not make that first payment. <br />The second and final payment would be in 60 days from completion <br />and a sign -off on satisfaction. <br />(3) They are under the warranty provisions of our original <br />specifications, and they have reaffirmed that in this agreement. <br />Administrator Chandler felt we are as protected as we can be <br />in a situation such as this, especially since the project is 98% <br />complete and it looks like it's going to work. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Scurlock being absent) approved the <br />Amendment to Contract between IRC and Blevins Electric, <br />Inc. for Phase II of the County Jail, and authorized <br />the Chairman's signature. <br />39 <br />iCT 1 <br />r <br />
