Ferguson, dated May 5, 2000 <br />4. Miscellaneous transmittals and references regarding Adnan Investment & Development, Inc <br />5. Tbree Original Agreements <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Acting County Attomee' <br />DATE: June 1, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: SOUTH COUNTY PROJECT BID AWARD <br />RE: My Memorandum of May 24, 2000, this subject <br />In the referenced memorandum I concluded that the Board could find Adnan "is not a <br />`qualified bidder,"' but rather than do that we could use our pre -July 1, 1994, Public <br />Interest Ordinance. Mr. Fergusen, attorney for Adnan, has raised several procedural <br />points. There is merit In one of the points; therefore, rather than proceed as <br />recommended and risk a lawsuit over a procedural Issue, I now recommend that the <br />Board of County Commissioners find Adnan "not qualified" based on the information <br />provided by references and award the contract to the second low bidder, Barth <br />Construction. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis noted that this had been a very competitive bidding <br />process with 7 bids received. The 3 lowest bids were very close. The lowest bid was <br />received from Adnan but the references received for that company were less than glowing. <br />As there was only a $660 difference, the second lowest bidder, Barth, was recommended by <br />staff. Barth's recommendations were very good. <br />Acting County Attorney Terry O'Brien stated that the references received for Adnan <br />brought into serious question the reliability of the contractor and that bidder was found to <br />be not qualified. He believed it would be ill-conceived for the County to enter into a contract <br />with a contractor supplying those references. <br />JUNE 69 2000 <br />-61- BOOK I10 PAGE J <br />
