Commissioner Adams advised that she separated this item from the Consent Agenda <br />in order to ask Utilities Director Olson to explain why these bids were so much over budget. <br />Utilities Director Erik Olson explained that when putting the bid together about a year <br />and a half ago, staff had under -estimated construction costs. The building is still needed but <br />it needs to be redesigned to be more cost-effective. He recommended the Board reject all <br />bids and direct staff to redesign the building and rebid the work. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY Vice <br />Chairman Tippin, the Board unanimously rejected the bids and <br />directed that the specifications be revised and the project be <br />rebid, as recommended in the memorandum. <br />7.R.

Chandler, County Administrator ,� <br />From. Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director �l Ly °gm)• <br />Subject: Courthouse Chiller Maintenance Contract Renewal <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Last November, General Services requested the Board's approval of a chiller maintenance <br />contract renewal with Trane Air Conditioning through South Florida Trane Service for the <br />Courthouse chiller. The Board may recall that the air conditioning equipment was manufactured <br />and supplied by Trane and had originally been under warranty. When the warranty had expired <br />it was necessary to obtain a maintenance agreement to cover the chillers. If authorized by the <br />Board, this would be the third year of contracting the service agreement with Trane. <br />South Florida Trane has offered to extend the maintenance services for an additional year (third <br />year) at no increase in cost ($11 875). <br />November 5, 2002 <br />
