Mayor Christy stated that the meeting has been called for the purpose
of discussing the motion made concerning the solicitation for engineering
services.
Mr. Wadsworth felt that we should not terminate BWA until we solicit for
another engineering firm.
Councilman Asting said that BWA was involved in several projects in the
City that they would like to see completed.
City Clerk Herget felt that Mr. Bosse, Mr. Wadsworth and himself should get
together to draw up the specs for advertising and get proposals to present
to Council.
Mayor Christy said that we were missing several copies of correspondence.
He asked if Mr. Wadsworth and Mr. Bosse would contact BWA and find out
what is missing and get copies.
Councilman Asting said that that would be impossible as RWA has been the
City Engineers for 17 years.
Assistant Attorney Hardee said that we did not need to get copies if we
decided to terminate BWA because they will have to turn everything over
to the City or the new engineer.
Mr. Bosse said that Senator Dunn has done an extensive research in which
consulting engineering services are required in the State of Florida.
The suggestion that they made was to advertise for technical services and
compare the services available from different firms and narrow it down to
three firms and then privately sit down with the 3 firms and find out how
much they are a~king for their services. This should be done one at a time.
Councilman Asting asked the Attorney if professional engineering services
could bid against each other?
Assistant Attorney Hardee said that professional services were exempt
from bidding requirements according to the State law.
Councilman Asting made a motion to advertise for professional engineering
services for the City of Edgewater. Such proposals should be returned to
the City within 30 days after advertisement at which time the Council
will interview the various engineering firms responding and we will decide
on a firm at that time. Also that the Supervisors of Water and Wastewater
Departments in conjunction with the City Clerk write up the service
requirements. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. Upon roll call
the motion CARRIED 3-0.
Councilman Asting made a motion to adjourn. Councilman Ledbetter seconded
the motion.
Meeting adjourned
