WORK ORDER NO. 9 TO CAMP DRESSER AND MCKEE FOR ENGINEERING
SERVICES RELATED TO THE NEW OSLO CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE CENTER
Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director SWDD , recapped the memorandum of April 10 ,
2011 , to provide background and analysis pertaining to construction of the new Oslo Customer
Convenience Center (CCC) on the old Oslo dump site adjacent to the existing facility . He
reported that based on staff s initial plan to replicate the raised ramp system at the new Fellsmere
CCC , staff had received bids for construction of the new facility that were not financially
feasible . He explained that subject to Board approval , Camp Dresser & McKee , Inc . ( CDM)
would provide an engineering analysis of an alternate design , based on a " flat" on grade -type
facility (similar to one in Marion County) , which staff and CDM envision could be done less
expensively . He asked the Board to approve the rejection of the received bids for the new CCC ,
and to approve Amendment No . 2 to Work Order No . 9 with CDM , for additional engineering
services .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher ,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to approve staff s
recommendation .

Responding to queries from the Board , Director Mehta described the differences between
the two types of Customer Convenience Center facilities , and explained why it would cost so
much to build the Fellsmere model at the Oslo location .
The Board wondered whether all the Customer Convenience Centers should have a
universal operating system , and if the expense for redesigning and building the new Oslo facility
would be equivalent to constructing the Fellsmere model at the site .
Director Mehta proposed returning to the Board in several months with further
information, after a feasibility study is done .
Several Commissioners voiced concerns about the County having to go out to rebid , if
the first part of staff s recommendation (to deny all bids ) , is approved .
Discussion followed , with input from Attorney Polackwich, on how long the bids would
be valid for , and whether they could be extended .
Commissioner Davis suggested the prudent thing to do would be to approve only the
second portion of staff s recommendation, to authorize additional engineering services to do the
feasibility study of the alternate system .
Director Mehta, via overhead projection , displayed slides of the Marion County facility ,
showing the " flat" on grade-type facility that utilizes a compactor . IIe responded to questions
about the differences in operating costs for each of the systems , and whether it would cost more
if there were two different systems .
Dialogue continued as the Board , with input from Administrator Baird , discussed the best
way to proceed with the feasibility study without losing the existing bids .
