r <br /> 2 t <br /> Acceptance of Alternate #3 is recommended and will pave all of the areas on the site <br /> where paving is appropriate. Although the funds available through the Public Works <br /> Maintenance Facility are insufficient to complete all of the paving on the site, the paving <br /> prices reflected in this bid were significantly lower than those which we have seen in <br /> recent history. It would, therefore, seem to be in the County's best interest to identify <br /> additional funds in order to take advantage of this opportunity. It is proposed that <br /> funding for Alternate#3 be accomplished as follows: <br /> • Public Works Maintenance Facility Project Fund (apprx. $122,000); <br /> • Public Works operating budget(apprx. $20,000); <br /> • Solid Waste Convenience Centers (apprx. $34,800). <br /> The County Engineer will provide on-site supervision during the paving process. <br /> Compaction testing, as needed, will be contracted to a third party testing company. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid and <br /> approve a contract, contingent upon Attorney and Staff review, to Blythe Construction, <br /> Inc. for paving pursuant to Alternate #3 in the bid submitted April 29, 1997, in an <br /> amount not to exceed $176,800; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the <br /> Board. <br />
