19 ray, 857 Aye: Adams, Hincks; Lemmond, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered bids for the roof replacement at the Broadway Library. County Manager William Cowan told the Board that Public Works had requested the replacement of the Broadway Library roof in the 2003-2004 budget at an estimated cost of $10,500. A bid package was distributed in December 2003 and the low bid received was $19,875. Mr. Cowan told the Board the project was re-bid in February 2004 after some of the Commissioners asked that certain local contractors be contacted. He stated that only one local contractor came to the pre-bid conference and no local contractors returned the bid package. The low bid came in at $19,000 the second time because it was suggested that the flat roof be replaced with a tapered roof system, and therefore increased the cost. Mr. Cowan stated that the Board would need to approve a budget amendment for the $8,500 difference if the bid of $19,000 was approved. After some discussion, Commissioner Paschal moved to approve the County Manager's recommendation to approve the low bid of $19,000 and authorize a budget amendment for the additional $8,500 required to replace the roof at the Broadway Library. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Hincks, Lemmond, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board discussed applications received for the County Manager's position. After some discussion, the Board asked the Clerk to contact the top seven applicants selected by Commissioner's Matthews and Stevens and schedule interviews for May 17 and 18, 2004. With no further business to come before the Board, Chairman Hincks adjourned the regular meeting to go into the Lee County Water and Sewer District No. 1 meeting.
