FEB' IS <br />1990 <br />BOOK .79 �.,r <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that <br />these costs in terms of <br />testing are substantial and gaining. He knew that the City of <br />Vero Beach established at least a partial lab sometime within the <br />last years, and they ran into some problems with the state <br />accepting their results without secondary verification. He asked <br />if it would not behoove us to see if we could not get some kind <br />of regional or subregional approach with neighboring counties and <br />possibly approach the Community College to see if services <br />couldn't be provided in a more economically feasible way. <br />Director Pinto felt that is a good idea. He explained that <br />the problem is becoming certified. The City is not certified to <br />do all the testing, but it is getting to the point now where if <br />one of the counties established a lab that could be certified, <br />there could be some joint effort. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that, with the Commission's <br />permission, he would like to ask staff, to pursue this idea. He <br />noted that the testing at the well in the Landfill is not the <br />costly item, it is the monthly and bi-monthly testing procedures. <br />We negotiated the testing back considerably from what they <br />originally proposed, but he felt we could save substantial <br />dollars with a joint effort to get a certified tester and then <br />work together. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com - <br />Bird, the Board unanimously awarded Bid 90-23 to Enviro- <br />metrics, as being the low responsive and responsible <br />bidder in the amount of $128,991.00 and authorized <br />award of an open end contract as recommended by staff. <br />B.
