ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The alternatives are as follows: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Approve Sheltra & Son's offer to excavate 20,000 Cy of <br />shell material for the County in exchange for 20,000 CY <br />of embankment material for the construction of Indian <br />River Boulevard Phase III. The Road and Bridge <br />Division is currently paying $3.29/Cy for shell. <br />Sheltra will perform all excavation, including <br />supplying equipment, fuel, labor, insurance, etc. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Execute a Change Order with Sheltra & Son allowing <br />Sheltra to purchase 20,000 CY of embankment material <br />from the County at a cost of $1/CY which exceeds the <br />County's current cost. Sheltra would supply all <br />personnel, equipment, labor, fuel, insurance, etc. to <br />excavate the material and deliver it to the Indian <br />River Boulevard project. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Alternative No. 1 is recommended whereby Sheltra & Son <br />excavates 20,000 Cy of shell for the County and 20,000 CY of <br />embankment for construction of Indian River Boulevard. No <br />direct cost to the County would be involved. <br />No Funding is applicable. Revenue received, if Alternative <br />No. 2 is approved, would be credited to 309-214-541-066.51 <br />Indian River Boulevard Construction. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if we meet the same requirements <br />of buffer and setback at our site as private land mining operators, <br />and Public Works Director Jim Davis confirmed that we do. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired about the estimated 20,000 cubic <br />yards of shell and whether it is good quality shell, and Engineer <br />Roger Cain confirmed that it is cubic yard for cubic yard and is <br />quality shell. <br />Commissioner Bird was interested because he felt we would be <br />considering shell for use on the cart paths of the new golf course <br />rather than concrete, and wondered if some of that 20,000 cubic <br />yards would be available. <br />Director Davis advised that there are some opportunities to <br />expand fill. We are expecting to begin Phase IV of the Boulevard <br />very quickly, and staff would be most happy if we could get as good <br />a price on the shell as we did on Phase III. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved <br />staff's recommendation of Alternative #1, as set out in <br />the above memo. <br />39 <br />MAR 17 1992 <br />
