MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan, <br /> SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to set the March <br /> 23 , 2010 price of $ 3 . 00 as the baseline, with weekly <br /> adjustments for the average diesel fuel price , based on the <br /> cubic yards of sand hauled for that week. <br /> Commissioner Davis acknowledged why assigning a per cubic yard price would not work <br /> in this instance, and questioned whether the adjusted compensation in fuel prices is being passed <br /> on to the independent truck drivers who are hauling the sand . <br /> Mr. Schafer assured Commissioner Davis that monies are adjusted and distributed to the <br /> truckers and miners by revising the subcontracts . <br /> Patrick Flynn , Ranger Construction Manager, stated that he had developed Change <br /> Order 4 , which reflects the exact figures submitted from their suppliers , without any mark-up or <br /> overhead . He thereafter responded to questions from the Board. <br /> A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the use of a sliding scale, the original construction <br /> budget, and fuel price adjustments . <br /> Vice Chairman Wheeler wanted this sent back to staff so "real numbers" can be put to <br /> paper and locked in . <br /> Paul Meunier, Indian River Contracting, emphasized that his trucking company is <br /> currently running at a deficit and on good faith, and stressed the urgency to approve a fuel <br /> increase adjustment . <br /> Administrator Baird suggested authorizing the Change Order for 50% of what Ranger is <br /> requesting to keep the project moving, and afterwards calculate a formula and index of what the <br /> County owes them to date and in the future . <br /> March 15 , 2011 19 <br />
