the golf course, to monitor the progress and the operations at no charge to the <strong>County</strong>.<br />
Ms. Thier agreed it is an expensive proposition but the <strong>County</strong> will be getting a very high quality service<br />
and the golf course will be a good product. The architect will also be visiting the site at crucial times<br />
when the construction manger calls them. This will be a team effort.<br />
The Board discussed with Dave Hay, Chairman, Board of Recreation Commissioners, the cost of the<br />
contract for construction management, construction phases for the golf course, and the use of the<br />
buildings on the property as a club house and for maintenance equipment. Mr. Sauerland<br />
recommended language in the contract in case the <strong>County</strong> wants to step away from the project.<br />
Mr. DeSapio recommended that Ms. Thier have Greenmen Pederson breakdown the $480,000 plus,<br />
with a not to exceed price for the construction phase on an hourly basis and a not to exceed price for<br />
the follow up work, so the Board of Freeholders can determine as the project goes along into the final<br />
phase, if there is another way to approach it. Mr. Fuzo recommended having a Task Order contract and<br />
the contractor will have to provide Task Orders for the work they will be doing and each will have to be<br />
approved by the Board prior to the work being done. Mr. Sauerland would like further information in<br />
connection on what will be done for Phase I and Phase II. John DeMarrais, Recreation Commissioner,<br />
said he would be glad to have GPI and the architect split out their costs and identify the cost for each<br />
separate items. Mr. Hay stated this project will come in on budget and he will bring that information<br />
back to the Freeholders on the 14th.<br />
Mr. Fuzo asked what is holding up the award for the construction of the golf course. Mr. Hay explained<br />
the contract was pulled because all the documents to the contract were not received as yet. Mr.<br />
DeSapio advised there is also a question about what will be recommended to be awarded, because for<br />
this to be brought in under budget, a number of alternates were placed in the bid which would reduce<br />
the price depending on the alternates selected.<br />
Director Karrow asked Ms. Thier to work with the <strong>County</strong> Treasurer on figures to privatize the mowing<br />
