Chairman Eggert noted that the estimated budget for this item was $4,500 and she was curious to know why the bids did not come in near that amount. County Administrator James E. Chandler felt that it was initially underestimated when the budget was put together. He believed the additional amount had to do with the size of the lathe requested and the brakes that are worked on at the garage. General Services Director R T. "Sonny" Dean advised that Administrator Chandler was correct, that 24 -inch rotors were necessary for the fire trucks. Staff was unable to find anybody else that builds a lathe large enough to handle that size rotor. Commissioner Adams asked where the other counties had theirs done, and Director Dean guessed they "farmed" them out or purchased one of these lathes. He rechecked yesterday to be absolutely sure there was not another vendor who could furnish a lathe that would cut such large rotors. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously awarded Bid #7057 to Coastal Automotive - Equipment and Sales, Inc., in the amount of $5,749.00, as recommended in the Memorandum. 7.F.
