Dicussian of bids for the construction of the lower level of
the courthouse was presented by George Lovett, and a letter
was submitted to the Court with the total cost for the
additions of the Kerr County Courthouse. Mr. Lovett's
recommendation to the Court was to accept the Low Bid far the
Construction and to begin work. Commissioner Morgan had a
q~_iestion of who would be responsible for any error or
omission with Mr. Lovett responding that he did not have any
insurance for error or omission and the Engineer- who designed
the plans may not have any either, and the original engineer-
Mr. Furman, he (Mr. Lovett) could not locate anymore so he
had another engineer place his seal on the plans. Mr.
Tomlinson expressed concern about the legalities of the
County cantr-acting without bonding and guar^antees of recour^se
against all people involved in the Design and Building.
Commissioner Morgan requested an opinion from the County
Attorney on the liability issue of the contracts. Rnother^
question was whether or not the pumps downstairs would be
wor-king and able to take out any excess rainfall when it
rains. Commissioner Morgan stated that he would not sign a
contract or bid without recourse of error or omission. The
whole project hinges on whether or not this area will flood
or^ not and if the pumps will work when they are needed. The
cour-t would like for• Mr. Johnston to double check the water
problems in the downstairs parking lot and this item be
~. brought back tv Commissioners' Court on November 12, 1991
with a statement from the County Ruditor and the County
Attorney.
