Dicussion 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
r^ecommendation to the Co~_irt was to accept the Law Bid for• the
Construction and to begin work. Commissioner Morgan had a
question of who would be responsible for• any err-or or
omission with Mr. Lovett r^esponding that he did not have any
ins~.~rance for error or omission and the Engineer- who designed
the plans may not have any either, and the original engineer-
Mr•. Fur^man, 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 contracting without bonding and guarantees of recour^se
against all people involved in the Design and Building.
Commissioner Morgan requested an opinion from the County
Rttor^ney on the liability issue of the contracts, Rnother
q~_iestion was whether or not the pumps downstairs would be
working and able to take oiat 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
ar not and if the pumps will work when they are needed. The
court would like far Mr. Johnston to double check the water
pr^ohlems in the downstairs parking lot and this item be
brought back to Commissioners' Court on November 12, 1991
with a statement from the County Auditor^ and the County
Rttor•ney.
