NEED: This contract was tabled from the July 23 Commissioners meeting from lack of sufficient bonding by the Bidder. Since that time the County Attorney has researched the issue and ascertained that even though Process Plumbing cannot be boned by a Surety Company, the County can accept certain alternate forms of surety. In this case, we are in receipt of a certified check from the Bidder for 100% of the contract amount which will be accepted in lieu of the Performance Bond and an agreement has been struck with the Bidder and incorporated in the contract document to withhold all progress payments until completion, final inspection and acceptance by the County of the work in lieu of the Payment Bond. (See "Form of Construction Contract; attached, sections 4, 5 and 6. ) IMPACT: The project can move forward. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract as written with bonding modifications to Process Plumbing and Piping Co. , Inc . , Raleigh, N.C. , "for a sum of $15,900; and to authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners.
