The contract provides 425 calendar days for construction and includes certain language that Assistant County Attorney Sharon Brennan Phillips desired to protect the interests of the County as well as to preclude a repeat of events that occurred with Phase II. It is anticipated that the facility will be completed in February, 1991, and a Notice to Proceed will be issued on December 22, 1989, if approval of the contract is achieved. The bid for construction of Phase III was awarded to Robert F. Wilson Construction Company on November 17, 1989, in the amount of $5,103,000. Staff recommends approval of the contract and requests that the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents so construction can be initiated. ATTACHMENTS Four (4) original copies of Contract for construction of Phase III Commissioner Scurlock questioned the adequacy of the wording on the bottom of page two of the contract where it reads: "Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each and every calendar day during which the work is not complete beyond the limit set forth above will ]be assessed." He wondered if it should say $500.00 a day and that each day is a new occurence. Assistant County Attorney Sharon Brennan felt that the wording of "each and every day" is sufficient, and Attorney Vitunac advised that Attorney Brennan is our expert in construction contracts and has been to several seminars and got this language from them. Commissioner Scurlock asked if the 12% interest rate mentioned in Item 7.5 on Page 5 is correct, and Attorney Vitunac explained that the new law says that if the County doesn't pay their bills within so many days of this date, they have to pay 12% interest. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the contract with Robert F. Wilson, Inc. for the construction of Phase III of the County Jail.
