Thereupon Commissioner Hamby moved the passage of the foregoing resolution entitled: "RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND PRIVATE SALE OF REFUNDING BONDS" and Commissioner Payne seconded the motion and the resolution was passed by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Lentz, Payne, Hamby, Melvin, Moss Noes: Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting of the Board of Commissioners for the Water and Sewer District of Cabarrus. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, reported that he had learned last week that Myers and Chapman, the low bidder for the General Construction Contract for the Cabarrus County Governmental Center, had not submitted the required bid security at the time of the bid opening on March 9, 1988. He further reported he had been informed that the company had submitted certified funds as bid security a day or two after the bid opening. Stating that the bid security is mandated by law to be available at the time of the bid opening, Mr. Hartsell advised the Board that there is no bid award at this time for the General Construction Contract for the Governmental Center. He outlined the following options for the Board: 1) Award the bid to the next low bidder, L. P. Cox Company, INC., provided that the company agrees to abide by the bid submitted on March 9; 2) Not proceed with the project; and 3) Rebid the General Construction Contract. In conclusion, Mr. Hartsell reported that motions had been filed in the litigation regarding the Governmental Center and a hearing scheduled for 10:00 A.M. on May 26. Mr. Dennis Yates, Architect, reviewed the bids for the General Construc- tion Contract and informed the Board there is an $88,000.00 difference in the bids submitted by Myers and Chapman and L. P. Cox Company, Inc. He reported that L. P. Cox Company, Inc., is in the process of reviewing the bid submitted on March 9 and had indicated they would advise the County on May 27 if they would abide by the bid. Chairman Lentz stated that the Board would take no action today and instructed Mr. Yates to continue negotiations with L. P. Cox Company, Inc. The Board also instructed Mr. Yates to reduce the cost of the project by $88,000.00. Mr. Dennis Yates, Architect, reviewed the schedule for the renovation of the third floor of the County Courthouse. He stated that bids would be received in June and completion of the project was scheduled for August 22, 1988. He estimated that the project would cost approximately $500,000.00 to $600,000.00.
