Commissioner Scurlock asked if we have any particular <br />mechanism or agreement with the contractor for controlling the <br />operation so that it doesn't conflict with our operations, and <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that the material is <br />located on the south side of South Gifford Road while most of our <br />operations are on the north side. We don't think there will be a <br />logistical problem, but we will have people there every day to <br />make sure there is not a logistical problem in moving it and that <br />it can be done safely. He believed the price is a fair market <br />value. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve Change <br />Order #1, deducting $32,189.80 from the contract amount <br />for embankment, as recommended by staff. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Bird asked Director Davis if, <br />rather than the contract deduction, there would be any benefit in <br />receiving payment from the contractor on this and putting that <br />money into Road 8 Bridge to be used for some other job. <br />Director Davis felt the way the Boulevard is funded with the <br />gas tax revenue, the monies can be applied on the revenue side <br />just as easily as if we got a check back into Road & Bridge. He <br />wished to point out that there is a possibility of a change order <br />on this project. There is some material to be removed from the <br />road bed that the original engineer did not specify, and now with <br />the contractor trying to work in this wet season, we may end up <br />having to remove some additional material beneath the Boulevard. <br />However, we won't know that for a week or two. <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggested a better approach to this <br />might be that when we have material that we don't have a use for, <br />we coordinate with our Landfill where it costs more than $1.00 a <br />cubic foot to mine, and when the material is in close proximity, <br />37 BOOK 84 <br />U6 2 0 It <br />� J <br />
