CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES STAFFED AND PREPARED BY: TERRY H. DRUM % v ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: GROVE CARE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT IRC BID NO. 90-46 BACKGROUND: The Indian River County Board of Grove Care Maintenance Contract March 27, 1990, for the care an County Grove. The contract was months on April 1, 1991, to expire ANALYSIS: County Commissioners awarded the to Arapaho Citrus Management on d management of the Indian River renewed for a period of eighteen on September 30, 1992. The Grove Care Maintenance Contract that was awarded on March 27, 1990, for one year and renewed for an additional eighteen months will expire on September 30, 1992. Because of. the ongoing irrigation experiment with treated wastewater by the University of Florida, which will be completed in September 1993, we feel that it is essential that the Grove Care Maintenance Contract be extended for a period of one year, beginning October 1, 1992, using the original Grove Care Maintenance Contract price of $40,160 for equipment and labor charges (see attached letter), and to provide the special care that is also required by the University that has been given by the grove care company under the original contract. The contract will expire in the same time frame of the University of Florida experiment, and at that time, the Grove Care Maintenance Contract will go out for bid. RECOMMENDATION: The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the one year contract extension in the amount of the original contract, not to exceed $40,160.00 for the total equipment and labor charges, plus the material costs. 56
