<br />May 181 2006 - Recessed Meeting <br /> <br />Page <br /> <br />619 <br /> <br />The costs for the Masonry Scope and for the Mechanical <br />Scope each contain a $150,000.00 "exposure hold" for a total of <br />$300,000.00 ("Exposure Holds"). The Construction Manager is <br />accepting the lowest bid from those bidders for the masonry and <br />mechanical scopes. The bid of each lowest bidder is <br />substantially lower than the next lowest bid for each scope. <br />The $150,000.00 \\Exposure Hold" for each scopel is but a <br />part of the difference in the lowest and next lowest bid for each <br />scope and is designed to protect the parties. The Owner is <br />protected because it obtains the lowest bid for each scope and <br />the CM is protected to the amount of the Exposure Hold in the <br />event that there is a substantial error by either or both <br />subcontractors in the calculation of its cost of the work as <br />contained in the bid which it submitted. <br /> <br />Chairman Carruth stated the Board is accountable to the people of <br />Cabarrus County for the public safety and for being good stewards of the tax <br />dollars.
