<br />construction to Weller Pool Constructors, Inc. in the amount of
<br />$2,061,967. At the February 12, 2002 Board of County Commissioners
<br />meeting, the Board approved Change Order No. 1, whereby reducing
<br />the contract amount by $404 993.76, to allow for sales tax savings
<br />for direct purchase of materials. At the April 23, 2002 Board of
<br />County Commissioners meeting, the Board approved Change Order No.
<br />2, whereby increasing the contract amount by $225,206.35 to allow
<br />for addition of Bulkhead and Geothermal Heating for the Competition
<br />Pool and allow for sales tax savings for direct purchase of
<br />materials.
<br />Now, there are two new items of approval for Change Order No. 3 as
<br />outlined below:
<br />1. Direct purchase by Indian River County of equipment reduces
<br />the contract by $139,805.07 and saves $9146.13 in sales tax.
<br />2. Currently, the Activity Pool is proposed to be heated by gas
<br />heat, which is included in the existing contract. Gas heat is
<br />relatively inexpensive to install but has a high operating
<br />budget. (Installation cost -$12,307, operating cost approx-
<br />imately $22,000 per season) Geothermal heating system costs
<br />more than the gas heating system to install, but has a much
<br />lower operating cost. (Installation cost -$35,904, operating
<br />cost approximately $4,000 per season)
<br />The additional cost for installation of a Geothermal Heating
<br />System for the Activity Pool (additional $23,597) in lieu of
<br />the Gas Heating System is expected to pay for itself in less
<br />than two years due to much lower yearly operating costs. (See
<br />attached heating analysis)
<br />If changing the Activity Pool Heating System from gas to
<br />geothermal is considered, there are two methods that this
<br />could be done.
<br />a)
<br />The "Rough -in" for the geothermal heating in the
<br />Activity Pool could be done now and would cost
<br />$10,809. Eliminating the gas heating system would
<br />save $12,307, thus a reduction in contract of $1,498.
<br />But, at a later time, when money is available, the
<br />remaining installation of the geothermal heat system
<br />would be performed. (Additional cost would be $12,788
<br />plus remobilization charge [possibly $5,000] and any
<br />additional cost increases at that time.)
<br />b) The complete geothermal heating system could be
<br />installed now and be ready for the pool opening. The
<br />additional cost of $23,597 is partially offset by the
<br />$9,146.13 sales tax savings, which leaves a deficit
<br />of $10,120.98 from the budget since $4,329.89 is
<br />still available in the original budget.
