VERMICOMPOSTING PROJECT

The main agenda item for this meeting was to discuss the vermicomposting project.

Mr. Millard reviewed the project costs thus far. A lengthy discussion followed, after which it was agreed by consensus that the Authority should move forward with the project.

Mr. Shope reviewed the bids for the vermicomposting building. The bids received were Dueck Construction at $1,375,000; TAH Construction at $1,579,500; and PSI Pumping Solutions at $1,648,000. Mr. Shope reported that Dueck Construction did not meet the bid specifications and that Gannett Fleming has been unable to obtain the additional information required that could make their bid a viable one. Following a brief discussion, it was decided that the contract should be awarded to TAH Construction at $1,579,500. Mr. Shope will move ahead to award the bid.

Mr. Shope also reported that Contracts #2 and #3 were advertised and that they would be opened at Authority Office on February 8, 2007 at 2:30 p.m.

Shaun Ankers was also present at the meeting to discuss payment to Vermitech for the vermicomposting equipment. Mr. Anker requested a second payment to Vermitech in the amount of at least $195,000. A lengthy discussion followed.

Mr. LaDieu moved, seconded by Mr. Tyndale, to make a payment to Vermitech in the amount of $195,000. The motion was unanimously approved.

Mr. Tyndale moved, seconded by Mr. Steinmeier, to adjourn the meeting. The motion was unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
