BOOK 98 fl.a 8,78 <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean advised that the missing <br />contracts have been received and are in his office. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved <br />the contract with KDG, Inc. in the amount of $53,700 <br />for the demolition of two Sebastian water treatment <br />plants. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Adams asked if we intend to return <br />the generator that was erroneously left in the water treatment <br />plant when the contractor went through on his bid inspection. She <br />felt we need to consider some financial compensation to keep the <br />generator because it is of sufficient value to the county. To <br />have to replace it would cost us substantially more. <br />Administrator Chandler explained that the original intent was <br />to sell the generator, but subsequently a determination was made <br />that it could be put to good use somewhere in the county. The <br />problem arose when the generator was not excluded in the bid specs <br />and the bid was made on the amount the contractor could salvage <br />from the generator. The contractor has stated that he feels the <br />project has been properly bid. If the Board determines that they <br />want to keep the generator, KDG, Inc. will sell it back to us for <br />$5,000. Director Dean noted that in the meantime the 350 kw <br />generator has been moved to one of our fire stations. <br />Chairman Adams felt that $5,000 is a fair deal to purchase a <br />generator of that size and in that good condition for potential use <br />in Emergency Services. <br />Emergency Services Director Doug Wright noted that we need to <br />purchase the generator and the switch gear for $5,000. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed we should purchase the generator but <br />with the condition that if it is determined there is no need for <br />it, we can salvage it out and get something for it. <br />COMMISSIONERS EGGERT AND TIPPIN agreed to amend their Motion <br />for approval of the KDG, Inc. contract and authorize the <br />purchase of the generator and switch gear for $5,000 if -it is <br />,.determined there is a need for it by Emergency Services. <br />CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />59 <br />AUGUST 20, 1996 <br />
