ANALYSIS During review of the project, the Board of County Commissioners recommended that staff consider different options for sod replacement and fence construction. Since then, the Department of Utility Services has obtained bids from three separate fence contractors to construct a perimeter fence around the refurbished lift station. The lowest bid was submitted by Adron Fence at $1,389.48 (see attached cost estimates). The County presently has an annual contract with East Coast Sod and Landscape to deliver and restore Bahia sod at a rate of $.11 per square foot (see attached copy of contract). The total area to be resodded is approximately 1,818 square feet, resulting in a total cost of approximately $200.00. A preconstruction meeting with TLC Diversified, Inc. was held on September 13, 1996. During the meeting the contractor agreed to remove bid items for sod and fence construction from the contract. Attached is Change Order No. 1 to decrease the contract amount by $5,067.00 (see attached change order) to $73,211.00. The change order to remove the subject items from the contract and the issuance of a purchase order to add the items separately will reduce the project cost by $3,477.52 to $74,800.48. The contractor was paid an initial draw in the amount of $61,162.56 for 93% of the project, less retainage. Utilities staff is now prepared to make final payment in the amount of $12,048.44.
