The Council. of Bal Harbour Village held a Special Meeting, Thursday,
May 3, 1973 at 2:OOP.M, in the Village Hall for the purpose of discussing with
Standard Dredging Corporation the contract we had submitted to them for the
dredging and various other portions of the beach nourishment project.
Present: Messrs. Beatty, Printup, Scott, and Taplin
Absent: Mr. Brush
Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer,
Village Clerk; Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney; Mr. Henry von Oesen and
Mr. George Whittaker, engineers for the project; and Mr. John Wiser, President
of Standard Dredging and Mr. Marion Sibley and Bob Ward, attorneys.
Mr, von Oesen said that as a result of the last Council meeting when
the Council was advised by letter from Mr. Marion Sibley that Standard Dredging
Corporation was withdrawing its bid, he called Mr. Wiser to see if he would come
down and talk to us to determine if his company will sign the contract for the
work as bid. He said we wished to pursue the matter and asked Mr. Wiser to ex-
plain to the Council his company's position to see if we can find a meeting
ground, so we can discuss it. Mr. Anderson said that all these discussions should
be without prejudice to either party. Mr. Wiser told the Council that they had
prepared their bid with the intention of dredging this year, which was incorrect,
having determined the work could only be done from May through September. Ile
said that he had spoken to Mr. von Oesen and Mr. Maley, who had offered an allow-
ance in labor- and fuel oil for the one year delay, but there were too many
factors involved and his Board of Directors would rather see it estimated out
and a value placed on it. He said that they would like an increase of $500,000.00
over the original bid. This would amount to a change in price for the sand
from $1.33 a yard to approximately $1.63. Discussion followed on the advisability
of either letting new bids or contacting the U.S.Corpe of Engineers, State of
Florida and Dade County to ascertain their feelings about negotiating the addi-
tional costs to Standard Dredging not to exceed $500,000.00. Mr. Maley said he
feels that we should advise the governmental agencies Involved that we are
declaring a default with the bid bond forfeited and seek their approval to re-
bid the job. Mr, von Oesen said he would be glad to call the District Engineer
In Jacksonville to find out what they would approve of. Mr. Sibley said that
the contract was not signed and additional monies needed,due to Bal Harbour mak-
ing a change in the contract offered to Hardaway Construction Corporation,
There being no further business on motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by
Mr. Scott the meeting was adjourned at 3:30P.M.
