The Board considered approving a contract with McGill & Associates for the design, permitting and bid and construction administration of interstate frontage road, water and sewer infrastructure to serve the proposed Morinaga manufacturing facility site and authorizing the Chair to sign. Craig Benedict noted the revised contract at the Commissioner's places, and he thanked Commissioner Gordon for her helpful comments on this revision. He said this is just for the design work. He said when this is completed next year this will go out to bid. He said staff chose McGill because the firm provided help in the past with the Efland sewer project and the North Buckhorn Sewer project, which were completed on time and within budget. He said the contract would be for the amount of$142,000, to included work outlined in the abstract materials. Commissioner Gordon asked if staff wanted to change the recommendation to include the wording "subject to attorney review." John Roberts said this wording should be included. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner McKee to approve and authorize the chair to sign a contract with McGill & Associates for the design, permitting and bid and construction administration for $142,000 for interstate frontage road, water and sewer infrastructure to serve the proposed Morinaga manufacturing facility site, subject to attorney review. Commissioner Dorosin asked Michael Talbert how many proposals were received in response to the Request for Qualifications (RFQs). Michael Talbert said staff interviewed the top six firms. Commissioner Dorosin referred to the previous CDBG discussion. He asked if this means other CDBG requests will be considered in addition to this one, or if the intent is that this will be their CDBG request. Craig Benedict said it is the intent that the money to be expended with this contract will be part of the 25 percent share of the grant proposal. He said another part will be an estimate of the construction cost for the water and sewer work. He said a letter has been signed with the state, authorizing consultants to be hired and counted as a County match when applications are submitted. Commissioner Dorosin clarified that the County will request a CDBG grant for $1 million related to this project, and this grant proposal will include all the work in this item, as well as $800,000 for infrastructure. Craig Benedict said that is correct. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b.
