BOOK ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously awarded Bid #4012 for Traffic Signal Equipment on an item - by -item low bid meeting specifications as set out in staff's memorandum. 90 F k -F. 47-1 G. Indian River County Courthouse Project Threshold Inspection and Materials Testing Service The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny Dean dated September 20, 1993: DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 1993 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICE SUBJECT: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE PROJECT THRESHOLD INSPECTION AND MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES BACKGROUND: In October 1992, the Board approved an amendment to the contract with Centex Rooney, our construction management firm, to provide Threshold Inspection and Materials Testing Services for the subject project. Rooney subcontracted this work with a certified firm and passed the cost straight through to the County without any additional mark up. The estimated cost for these services was authorized not to exceed $70,000. ANALYSIS: As of this date, the contractor, James A. Cummings is approximately 44 days behind schedule. This delay has necessitated the Threshold Inspector to go beyond his original estimated hours to perform the work as required by State Law. The increase in hours has caused the cost to escalate by $7,500. The original contract cost to cover materials testing was based on the number of yards of concrete and the estimated number of pours to install that material. The contractor is entitled to use his own "ways and means" and the number of pours was different than estimated. This caused an increase in cost by $17,500. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board approve payment of $25,000 for additional services to Centex Rooney based on the original contract and unit cost. 8
