PROPOSED TIOGA BRIDGE CONTRACT
Commissioner Heimlich said that he has discussed the contract from J.A. Barker Engineering, Inc., with Don Ward, County Engineer, and he said that Mr. Barker has agreed to lower his price.
A revised “Appendix D” was submitted with a reduction below the 12.5% limit so the county will not have to participate in the cost. The contract price dropped from $134,909.12 to $122,911.52.
White County Highway Superintendent Steve Brooke said that he was on the website this morning and he just found the estimate, which showed that the bid was about 6% over. Mr. Brooke said that the website said, “Bid award pending.”
Commissioner Heimlich said that Mr. Ward confirmed that all of the money to renovate Tioga Bridge was going to be from stimulus money and not county money.
- Commissioner Burton made a motion to approve the LPA (Construction Engineering) contract between the County and J.A. Barker Engineering, Inc., and the amended “Appendix D” for $122,911.52, seconded by Commissioner Schmierer. Vote: Unanimous
COMPUTER SOFTWARE FUNDS
Eric Storm, County IT, said that the county will have to pay some extra fees from Manatron for some additional work that they had to do during the conversion process that was not listed in the contract. He recommended the Commissioners encumber $10,000 from his “2009 computer items” line item and use it to cover these additional costs in 2010.
Commissioner Heimlich said that the software and conversion are currently being paid out of the “cumulative building maintenance fund,” and questioned if we should encumber the total cost of everything out of the “2009 computer items” line item to reimburse the cumulative building maintenance fund.
Auditor Guingrich said that the Council might not want to take the money out of the “2009 computer items” line item to reimburse the cumulative building maintenance fund because that money is coming out of the general fund. At this time, they need to keep as much money as possible in the general fund.
The Commissioners decided that they would talk to the Council to find out how they would like to see it done.
- Commissioner Schmierer made a motion to encumber the fund if they receive the Council’s approval, seconded by Commissioner Burton. Vote: Unanimous
There being no further business to come before the board, their meeting was adjourned.
