A Special Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, was

Mayor Perlman called the meeting to order and announced that it had been called for
the purpose of considering the following item:
1. CONTRACT AWARD: Approve contract award to Enco, L.L.C. in the amount of
$218,010.00 for the Beach Lifeguard Towers Phase II, Re-Bid project. Funding is available
from 334-6112-572-62.14 (General Construction Fund/Lifeguard Towers).
Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, stated that this is the contract for the
reconstruction of four (4) lifeguard towers on the beach. The City had a contract earlier this
year to reconsn'uct two (2) of the towers; however due to permitting issues with the state, a
consn'uction schedule conflict, and the turtle nesting season staff is not allowed to begin the
project until November 1, 2004. The City rescinded the original contract and rebid the
project to include two (2) additional towers that were budgeted for this year. Staff would
like to start the project by November 1, 2004.
Commissioner Costin asked if there was an issue with the design of the towers. In response,
Mr. Hasko stated that one of the issues regarded the placement of the towers and the second
issue was the time delay and denial from the State of allowing the City to start any
consn'uction until turtle nesting season is over.
Mrs. Archer asked if Enco, L.L.C. is the same company that built the first two towers. In
response, Mr. Hasko stated that Republic built the first two towers and they were the second
lowest bidder for this project. These are a little more expensive based on the fact that we
only received two (2) bids and the construction industry business has increased substantially
in the last year.
Mr. Costin moved to approve the contract award to Enco, L.L.C. for the lifeguard towers in
the amount of $218,010.00, seconded by Mrs. Archer. Upon roll call, the Commission voted
as folloxvs: Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman -
Yes. Said motion passed 4-0.
Mayor Perlman declared the Special Meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
