Hendrickson and his son regarding Bid Award of the Gardiner Community
Center.
The Board stated after the bid opening on February 20, 1979 for
the Gardiner Community Center that though Melco, Inc. (0. M. Hendrickson)
is the low bidder they felt they had no desire considering awarding
the bid to Melco, Inc. due to their poor and incomplete construction
of the Multi-Service Bu~lding (Building #29). Because there was less
than a $300.00 difference between"ehe two lowest bids the Commissioners
felt this was appropriate. Since then two letters have been received
from Hendrickson's Attorney stating that his client and himself are

available to meet with county representatives in order to resolve
any issues or questions that may exist. Hence this meeting today.
Hendrickson's Attorney, Mr. Martin explained that he felt that the
problem was more of a communication one than a lack of responsibility
and competance. The Board told Mr. Martin that they accepted the
building even though it was poor workmanship because the building was
needed for immediate use. The Board stated that the architect informed
them that Hendrickson had been notified at the end of the one year
warranty check about the various problems within the building. Mr.
Hendrickson failed to respond to the check.
Mr. Martin recommends Hendrickson go up with the Architect from
B.J.S.S. and ~ssioners to see what work needs to be done to correct
the poor work. The Board said that a lot of it has been repaired by
the COUhty's maintenance man.
