MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, that the Board offer the <br />contractor, Sheltra & Sons, approval of a change <br />order in the amount of $5,000 to implement the <br />chipping of material. <br />Under discussion, Director Davis wished to respond to several <br />of Mr. Dill's comments: The County does have a full-time inspector <br />on the CR -512 project. The other two bids received were for <br />$244,000 and $390,000, but this particular contractor sharpened his <br />pencil and bid $950 an acre for the clearing of 50 acres and the <br />disposal of the material based on the understanding that he could <br />use an air curtain to burn the material. In all fairness to the <br />contractor, we believe that he made a good faith effort -to give the <br />best price to the County being under the impression that burning <br />was an allowable option. At the time the bid was submitted, staff <br />also believed burning was an allowable option. One of the other <br />two bids was for $2000 an acre. <br />Commissioner Macht asked if the high bidder was laboring under <br />the impression that burning was prohibited specifically, but <br />Director Davis did not know the answer to that question. He felt <br />that whether you could burn or not should not reflect a $50,000 <br />difference. If it is the Board's intent to reduce the change <br />order from $12,000 to $5,000, he suggested that we table this <br />matter for one week so that the contractor can be here to represent <br />himself. <br />COMMISSIONERS MACHT AND ADAMS AMENDED THEIR MOTION <br />to table this matter for one week to allow the Contractor <br />time to respond to the offer. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />PETITION FOR WATER SERVICE IN GREEN ACRES ESTATES <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/3/93: <br />KVO <br />SEP 141993 BOOK 90 Fv, E 540 <br />L <br />
