Notice by the County Building Director that <br />unlicensed sub -contractors are being used on this <br />project was issued March 16, 1992. The Building Dept. <br />issued a 'Stop Work' order on Mar. 16, 1992 and the <br />contractor had not resolved the problem by the time of <br />this writing (03-25-92). In reviewing the list of <br />subcontractors submitted by G & S Contractors-, Inc. for <br />the Clubhouse and Accessory Buildings, the Building <br />Dept. had no record that three of the main sub- <br />contractors listed by G & S Contractors, Inc. were not <br />licensed to work in Indian River County (particularly <br />the roofing sub -contractor, painting sub -contractor and <br />the well drilling sub -contractor). <br />Staff recommends that the award not be granted to G & S <br />Contractor, Inc. due to intended use of unlicensed <br />sub -contractors and reports of coordination problems, <br />poor project management, and excessive change order <br />requests on past projects. <br />Additional resident inspection services would be required <br />including one additional full time resident inspector at a <br />cost of 270 days x $40/hr x 80 hours = $86,400. This <br />additional inspection would result in a base bid cost of <br />$651,000 plus $86,400 for a grand total of $737,400. <br />3.
