Bid Award: Construction of Recycling Facilities at Landfill <br /> The Board considered awarding a bid to Van Thomas Contractor, Inc., in the amount of$475,000 for <br /> the construction of recycling facilities at the Orange County landfill. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that there was a bid from a builder in Orange County that was very close to the <br /> lowest bid. He said that it would seem that there is no capacity within the law to address the fact that this would <br /> assure jobs and increase sales tax revenues by keeping the work in Orange County. <br /> Pam Jones said the law allows you to award to the lowest responsible builder and allows you to look at <br /> quality, time of performance, etc. The law does not allow you to look at local preference. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to award a bid to <br /> Van Thomas Contractor, Inc., in the amount of$475,000 for the construction of recycling facilities at the Orange <br /> County landfill. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> g Budget Amendment#9 <br /> The Board considered budget and capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2001-2002. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked about miscellaneous function, Attachment 1, column 8.

Throughout the year, the departments will get meritorious or performance awards. Until the end of the <br /> year, it stays in the miscellaneous function. This allocates it out to the individual departments based on the awards <br /> given throughout the year. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt the budget <br /> ordinance amendment and capital project ordinance. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 9.
