10:24District One, Commissioner Oakley.

10:25Aye.

10:26District three, Commissioner Starkey.

10:31Uh District 4, Commissioner.

10:35Aye.

10:36District District 5, Commissioner Mariano.

10:38Aye.

10:39District 2, Chairman More.

10:40Hi, motion passes 5-0. Thank you. C41 was a poll by me just for discussion and like Mr. Kabala to explain this item.

10:49Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. Mike Carbal, Assistant County Administrator of Public Infrastructure. Item C41 is to approve the last year renewal of the Ajax Industries Paving Contract. That is a comprehensive paving contract, which also includes drainage. The benefits the staff have discovered, you know, with having multiple contractors, include accountability as well as flexibility and efficiency. Of operation. I will say that the prices of that contract are higher than our current project, than

11:19our current contract, as well as some surrounding area contracts. So when we look in practice to utilize a contract, we are comparing both contracts side by side and looking at the overall scope of the work. And we'll always make a determination as to what is in the best value of our citizens. Staff is in the process of putting together a new comprehensive contract that will include drainage to go out on the street in approximately six months. But of course, the timing is always what it is at the time when you get

11:49bid prices. So while there may be other contracts and local municipalities that are lower, that doesn't necessarily mean that we will achieve that same pricing within the next six months.

12:00Okay, so just a quick question. So basically we're saying we're obviously renewing the um their annual asphalt paving um Contract. But at the same time, those things can constantly uh in the process of always negotiating those prices going down.

12:18Prices go up and down. So for example, you may see a local municipality that would have a price for a certain piece of asphalt at $78 a ton. Our contract price currently with our current low bid contractor is $97 a ton for that same item. So these prices are are all over the map sometimes, but they are low at the time we bid them. And again, I will reiterate that that staff looks at those contracts side by side and will do what's in the best value. However, we we believe that having the flexibility is

12:48important to our citizens because going six to eight months without a secondary contract. Co limit our flexibility. Doesn't necessarily mean that we have to use that contract, but we want the flexibility should we need to do a massive drainage project in association with a paving contract. Okay.

13:07Any other questions, comments? Chairman Mariano just and I I apologize. I I missed a little bit of the beginning. So and I know obviously we can't compare us to other counties possibly, but is it because of the volume they do? That could be that part of the bit like when we bid them, does do we talk about the volume that's gonna be for that? Several year contract?

13:25Yes, sir. We we put in our estimated uh annual quantities and that the market uh bids bids accordingly. Okay.

13:34Thank

13:35you, Mariano.

13:36Commissioner Mariano, you had a question, sir.

13:39I was gonna say, um I I know Mike you're gonna look over every contract to compare to make sure we're getting the best value for it. Um And is the new bid coming out, if it helps with a bigger pipe contract, it may have an a a chance to be a better bid, but you'll also look at doing it in-house too. So I'm comfortable with your uh procedure's gonna be. I'll move approval.

13:57I have a motion by Commissioner Mariano.

13:59Second, I didn't think we'd had approval just a discussion.

14:02Well it's but we still have to approve the item because it was pulled. Second by Commissioner Oakley. Yep. Madam Clerk, please call the roll.
