15.B.2. APPROVAL OF BID AWARD FOR IRC BID NO. 2008017,
FELLSMERE CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE CENTER
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler for discussion, to
approve staff's recommendation.
Himanshu Mehta, Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District, described the request for
Bid award for the construction of the new Fellsmere Convenience Center.
Under discussion, Commissioner Wheeler questioned the spending of $1.850 million to
build a transfer station. He thought there must be something new in this construction to cost that
much.
Administrator Baird said a lot of it is roadway and drainage, and site work; and Director
Mehta provided further details on the construction of the new facility. Commissioner Wheeler
thought it looked like a lot of money for a transfer station.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Board
unanimously approved the Bid award to the lowest
responsive, responsible bidder, Barth Construction, Inc., of
Vero Beach, for $1,850,879.53. The Board also approved
and authorized the Chairman to execute the Agreement
when required performance and payment bonds have been
submitted along with appropriate certificate of insurance
and the County Attorney has approved the agreement as to
