(See Department <br />Memo). <br />In addition, staff requests Board approval of the attached Contract as to <br />form, when all requirements are met and approved by the County <br />Attorney. ' &� �..J/�'�x�.c.et <br />In response to Commissioner Adams' inquiry concerning mobilization costs, Capital <br />Projects Engineer William F. McCain explained that this has occurred in the past where the <br />bidder made an error and placed too much of his bid into the mobilization costs. If staff believed <br />they were the responsible/best/lowest bidder for the job, adjustments have been made, with the <br />Board's concurrence, to spread that amount over the period of the contract, so they do not get a <br />large chunk up from. The contract documents are not very clear, allowing for some flexibility. <br />The intent in restricting a large payment up front is so the contractor cannot collect a huge sum, <br />default, and walk off the job. Staff proposes that the amount be spread over the job. He had <br />checked their references and felt the County should be able to save the money and go with the <br />low bidder. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously awarded the bid to <br />Underground Industries in the amount of $788,000, as <br />recommended in the Memorandum. <br />37 <br />�,oA/�/R AC 1 o 6 i L - �' � �� sonK 102 PAGE 140 <br />JULY 22,1997 <br />
