A Special Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Thomas E. Lynch in the
Commission Chambers at City Hall at 6:00 P.M., Tuesday, April 7, 1992.
Roll call showed:
Present - Commissioner Jay Alperin
Commissioner William Andrews
Commissioner Armand Mouw
Commissioner David Randolph
Mayor Thomas E. Lynch
Absent - None
Also present were - City Manager David T. Harden and City Attorney Jeffrey S. Kurtz
Mayor Lynch called the meeting to order and announced that this
meeting has been called for the purpose of considering the following:
1. Award and Approve the Contract For Fire Station No. 5.
The City Manager stated the latest proposal for construction
documents received from Gee & Jensen, is a good proposal. Staff does
not recommend that Fire Station No. 5 be an exact copy of any of the
fire stations submitted in response to the City's request for proposals.
Mayor Lynch expressed the feeling that the cost of Phase III
was the part of greatest concern to him; he did not see that much work
involved.
In reply to Mayor Lynch, the City Manager stated the permitting
was to be done through various outside agencies.
The City Manager explained some changes that could be made to
save construction costs, but emphasized that under State Statue, in
order to comply with a design build contract, an architect or engineer
needs to prepare a design criteria package sealed by the architect or
engineer and then put out for bids. This process could take from three
(3) to five (5) months. An ordinance including certain minimum pro-
cedures and criteria of State Statues also has to be met.
Tom Orlowski, Vice-president, Gee & Jensen, gave a brief
explanation of the figures quoted for various phases of the estimate.
Mr. Mouw stated the price quoted is a reasonable fee and feels
the City is saving time and a fair amount of money.
Mr. Mouw moved to award $48,750 to Gee & Jensen for Fire
Station No. 5, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - No;
Mr. Randolph - No; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2
vote.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 6:20 P.M.
