Mechanical, Hillsborough, NC, in the amount of $679,326 for the installation of geothermal <br /> HVAC system at John M. Link, Jr. Government Services Center to replace the existing system <br /> and authorize the Chair to sign subject to final review by the County Attorney. <br /> John Roberts said that this agenda item has a sample contract, but he has some <br /> concerns about this particular contract. He said that the motion needs to authorize the Chair to <br /> sign the contract contingent upon successful negotiation of the contract with the contractor, <br /> rather than subject to Attorney review, contingent upon successful negotiation of the contract <br /> with the contractor. This is bullet#3. <br /> Frank Clifton said that there are some related issues with the contractor that need to <br /> be addressed, so he concurred with the Attorney. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger and Commissioner Jacobs accepted the amended motion. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 9.
