SU L 21991 BOOK PAGE � Director Pinto stated that it is $86,000. There is about $7,000 for some outside surveying, and the rest was handled by staff and is part of their salaries. If we were going to assess this project, then we would add the $12,000 to it, but in this case, it is primarily for the Landfill and will not be assessed. Commissioner Scurlock reviewed his figures once again, noting that he now estimates that this project saved us $69,300. Director Pinto felt there are several ways to look at this, but what it really comes down to is that we are going to spend $100,000 less. Commissioner Scurlock asked what we are going to do with the approximate 6,000 lineal feet of pipe the project was reduced by, and Director Pinto advised we are looking at making a project to extend the line west. Commissioner Scurlock suggested that since we have such a low unit price, this might be an opportune time to take advantage of it and put all this pipe in the ground. Administrator Chandler felt in view of what we have been through in the last months and the concerns that have been raised, even though it appears we may have very good unit prices, we should look very carefully at expanding that. Commissioner Scurlock clarified that he was just suggesting going ahead and preparing another project for bid at this time since the prices are good. Chairman Bird asked Director Pinto whether the spread under the bidding process gave him any concern as he personally found the $100,000 difference between the low and the high amazing and felt someone may find they have made a mistake. Director Pinto agreed that in normal times that spread would bother him, but at this time, many companies just want to keep their people employed and get through this recession, and Commis- sioner Scurlock pointed out that this is the same company, and we have the same thing occurring on Indian River Boulevard. Commissioner Eggert wished to be assured that this project is in agreement with our current master plan, and noted that she will be asking this from now on. Director Pinto confirmed that it is - this particular line is not one of the larger lines of the system, but it will service a very important area of the county. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0) awarded Bid #91-79 for the 82nd Avenue Sewer Force Main to the low bidder, Owl & Associates in the amount of $86,835, as recommended by staff.
