BOOK 109 FACE c3 <br />DISBURSEMENT SUMMARY <br />a) Camp Dresser & McKee - $ 98,000.00 <br />b) Wharton -Smith Inc. - $3X415.30 <br />Total = $46a,415-30 <br />FUNDING <br />ACCOUNT NO: 475-000-169-236.00. NAME: Hobart RO Water Plant AMOUNT: $468,415.30 <br />LIST OF EXHIBITS: <br />Exhibit A. Change Order No. 3 as acknowledged by Wharton -Smith Inc. and recommended <br />by CDM Inc. <br />Exhibit B. Contractor's Application for Payment No. 22 (Final). <br />Exhibit C. List of Items Requiring Completion. <br />Exhibit D. Meeting Minutes from Utility Advisory Committee. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Adams, to approve stars recommendation. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Ginn stated she had some real concerns about the <br />delay time. She wondered if the two-step bidding process is being used where the past <br />performance of a company is examined before putting them on the list. If not already being <br />done, she thought the County should start to do it. She felt Wharton -Smith had some <br />advantages being 250 days behind and perhaps that was factored into their bid. She <br />understood they were also working on the South Wastewater Treatment Plant and that they <br />were also late on that job. <br />Assistant Utilities Director Jeff Smith introduced the new Capital Projects Manager <br />Steven J. Doyle to address Commissioner Ginn's concerns in this matter. <br />Mr. Doyle reported this incident was very rare; normally Wharton -Smith is one of the <br />top 10 reputable contractors in the state. For whatever reasons, they have gone through <br />various project managers both at the Hobart location and the South Plant. It appears that <br />they are not properly performing their job. He is diligently watching the project at the South <br />County Plant. He assured the Commissioners that the County will recover any losses <br />incurred in the form of liquidated damages or equivalent. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge wondered about their subcontractors. She understood that <br />one of the main problems in the North County Plant was the constant turnover of the <br />subcontractors. <br />APRIL 27, 1999 <br />36 <br />
