David Jo~nston, Architect; Prosecuting Attorney and Mark
Johnson, owner, PC & DIne. re: Completion of Jefferson County Jail:
T e rosecut~ng t~orney, 0 n aymon, a v~se t at e recommen s
that a new contrac~or be hired to complete the jail since the
County's position lis that it is of prime importance that the jail pro-
ject be completed,1 and the bonding company feels that the County's
termination of Palmer Constructors was a wrongful termination and Palmer
should be rehired. 1
!
. i .
David Johnston, Arlchitect, then introduced Mark Johnson of PC & D
Inc. who has submiltted a proposal to complete th~ 600 item punchlist
and amendments ma~e by the other Architect, for the fixed amount of
$60,550.00 plus ta!x. There is enough money held back from Palmer to
cover this contraclt amount. .
I
David Johnston ex~lained further that; this proposal for the fixed
amount would be fdr all new subcontr~ctors to finish the work.
Mr. Johnson agree~ that if it can be larranged to have one of the prev-
iOUS, subcontracto~s f,inish the work He has lef,t a,t no additional, cost,
then the County w~uld be given credi~ for the amount that was budget-
ed.for that expen~e in the PC & D corttract. The,potent~al amount of
thlS type of work Ithat could be arrarlged for on the pr,oJect depends on
such things as ho~ much of the mater~als were already purchased and
are at the site, ~tc. I
I 1
The question of w~rranties on equipm4nt, etc. already installed by
the previous subcqntractors will hav~ to be discussed in the arbitra-
tion, which is se~ to begin July 8, 1985, David Johnston continued.
There are items or} the punchlist whi4h will have to be covered under
a separate contra~t from this becaus~ of the nat~re of the item i.e.
the computer, etc.1 Those items willi have to be identified so that
the new contracto~lwill kn~w what he!is responsib~e for comp~eting.
The new contractoris mater1als that $ay not be pa1d for at t~me of
completion of the Iproject will have to be added to the County's in-
surance coverage wpich should not be 1 any additional cost to the County.
I! I
Commissioner Denn:il~on moved to Sl,' gn the new contract with PC & D, Inc.
for completion of 1 the Jefferson County Jail with the condition that
the new contracto*luse the original ~ubcontractors for completion of
their work where ~ossible and any saving resulting from this be
passed on to the ~punty. Commission~r Brown seconded the motion.
