received with the understanding the remaining portion would be <br />delivered. After a period of time another order was submitted in <br />November 1989 and none of this material or original order has been <br />received. <br />Mr. Albert VanAuken, Superintendent of Road and Bridge, has made <br />numerous telephone calls and promises of delivery were made by the <br />vendor. Mr. VanAuken also talked with the manufacturer, Trinity <br />Industries, to ascertain why Hunter could not get material to meet <br />his orders. Trinity advised that Hunter was in a financial situation <br />.and they would not furnish material at that time. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />On February 16, 1990, by request of Albert VanAuken, a certified <br />letter was sent to Mike Hunter, Inc., giving them two weeks to <br />respond with our orders or we would cancel our contract with them. <br />The company responded by calling Mr. VanAuken and offering to deliver <br />the nuts and bolts for the guard rail. He was informed the material <br />would be the only thing we would accept due to need of the railing, <br />and since bolts and nuts could be purchased locally. There has been <br />no response since that time. Mr. VanAuken has borrowed railing from <br />Florida DOT and this material needs to be replaced. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Based on the above, staff recommends cancellation of the bid award to <br />Mike Hunter, Inc. and authorize immediate rebid of the much needed <br />material. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously cancelled the <br />award of Bid #89-13 to Mike Hunter, Inc., and authorized <br />immediate rebid for said guard rail. <br />I.
