L <br />l <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that it only takes about 40 <br />minutes to <br />do a <br />test well <br />because <br />you <br />are only <br />talking <br />about <br />going down <br />14-17 <br />feet. He <br />would <br />have <br />liked to <br />see us <br />get some <br />quotes from the other 6-8 firms in this community who do this <br />type of work. He realized that this is a case where someone <br />sitting on a committee is trying in good faith to help the <br />County, but on the other hand, it opens us up to potential <br />criticism because the.same thing could happen on other <br />committees. <br />Administrator Chandler felt we could go ahead and'get some <br />informal quotes to see if this is in range, and if it is out of <br />proportion or high, we can go with someone else. He emphasized <br />that we have been trying to encourage more and more competitive <br />bidding on everything. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that we should get at least 2 or <br />3 other quotes on this job, and Public Works Director Jim Davis <br />advised that staff certainly could do that. He explained that <br />this really came out of the Parks & Recreation Committee, not the <br />staff. <br />Commissioner Bowman realized that this price was under the <br />$3,000 ceiling requirement for bidding it out, but she felt it <br />should not happen again. She asked if we have installed <br />water -saving spigots and limited shower heads in the park, and <br />Administrator Chandler believed they had converted to that <br />equipment in the last couple of months, but would check to see if <br />that has been done. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled this <br />item for one week to allow staff time to obtain a few <br />informal quotes and make sure we have done everything <br />we can about installing water -saving fixtures in the <br />restrooms and showers. <br />51 <br />I rpt 'A <br />BOOK 10 : �"M' <br />
