BEACH CITY COMMISSION HELD IN CITY HALL, 800 SEMINOLE ROAD,
ATLANTIC BEACH, AT 5:30 PM ON MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1993
The meeting, which was held for the purpose of conducting
interviews with prospective architects for the expansion of the
Public Safety building, was called to order by Mayor Gulliford.
Interviews with architects had been scheduled as follows:
J. Bruce Duff & Associates, Inc. 5:30 PM
Fleet & Associates, Inc. 5: 50 PM
RAM Architecture 6: 10 PM
Bruce Duff, President of Duff & Associates, said his firm was
established in 1987 and outlined their experience and
qualifications. He distributed hand-outs which included a list of
projects their firm had designed, resumes of other principals of
his firm, and testimony of their ability to complete projects
within budget. He also provided a conceptual plan of a proposed
expansion. The plan was discussed at some length, following which
Mr. Duff answered questions. In response to a question from Mayor
Gulliford Mr. Duff indicated he felt the expansion would cost
approximately $55 - $60 per square foot.
Robert and Janis Fleet represented their firm, Fleet & Associates,
Inc. They outlined their qualifications and experience with
similar projects. They reviewed a list of projects they had
designed and felt that with their experience as a land planner and
an architect they were well qualified for the proposed project.
Ms. Fleet indicated they had recently completed a renovation
project for Putnam County and were able to complete all the
renovations without having to shut down any department. She
outlined their current workload and felt they would have the time
to give this project priority treatment.
Robert Fleet said he would be the Project Manager and reviewed his
project team. He said he had done a walk through of the building
felt there was adequate space to provide the additional space
needed and also provide additional storage and briefly outlined
some of the possibilities. He said his firm had a history of
completing projects within budget .
Robert Maurer of RAM Architecture outlined his experience,
particularly in similar projects. He presented illustrations of
other buildings he had designed and documentation of the experience
of his firm. He explained that his business was only two years old
but said he had thirteen years of diversified professional
experience for both public and private sector clients. He
introduced his team which included a structural engineer,
mechanical/electrical engineer, landscape architect, and civil
engineer. He indicated the design phase would take about four
weeks, and preparation of construction documents would take about
four weeks. He felt he would need to spend some time in the
Page Two
Minutes of Committee of the Whole

building and discuss the needs with the personnel using the
building before he would present any specific plans for the
expansions.
Following the interviews the Mayor explained that ranking of the
teams would be by ballot and he provided ballots for this purpose.
Discussion ensued and the Fire Chief and Police Chief indicated
that while Mr. Duff had visited the building and discussed the
needs with the personnel, he did not seem to incorporate their
suggestions in his conceptual plan. The principals of RAM had not
attended the pre-bid conference and staff questioned their
interest in the job. Fleet & Associates seemed to be more
responsive to the needs and suggestions made by the staff.
Mayor Gulliford inquired whether references had been checked and
Chief Thompson explained a thorough reference check had not been
made but preliminary checks, particularly on Fleet & Associates
whom the staff had ranked No. 1, had revealed nothing negative.
Following the ranking by the City Commission, a more thorough check
would be done.
Voting by the City Commission resulted in the following ranking:
No. 1 - Fleet & Associates
No. 2 - Duff & Associates
No. 3 - RAM Architecture
The ballots are attached hereto and made a part of this public
record.
There being no further discussion, the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.

F. Action on proposed CDBG contract with the City
of Jacksonville
George Worley, City Planner, reported concerning
the proposed Contract with the City of
Jacksonville for the combined 17th and 18th year
CDBG Program. He explained because of the delays
in getting the contract the City would have a
relatively short time to spend the funds. He felt
now would be an appropriate time to pursue as much
of the drainage and right-of-way acquisitions as
possible in the Donner' s Subdivision. He
explained any continued upgrade of the housing
stock in the area was somewhat offset by the poor
infrastructure situation, especially the roads for
access purposes and the drainage system for health
purposes . He added the seven housing rehabs
identified in the proposed contract included four
by the City and three by the Donner Community
Development Corporation. He recommended approval
of the proposed contract and the signing of the
four original copies for submittal to the
Jacksonville Mayors Budget Review Committee.
Motion: Approve proposed CDBG Edwards x

Kim Leinbach asked Bob Kosoy to give a report
concerning water outages that had recently
occurred. Mr. Kosoy reported many complaints had
been received concerning recent water outages on
February 26th, March 1st and March 3rd. He
explained on February 25th the City had a closed
valve at Donner and Francis which had to be
repaired. Some residents were notified via

Page 11 v V
March 8, 1993 NAME OF

area was involved than staff had anticipated. Mr.
Kosoy explained further concerning what had
transpired to result in water outages .
Mayor Gulliford suggested an explanation and
letter of apology be placed in the City Newsletter
concerning the water outages .
9= Mayor to call on City Commissioners, City
Attorney, and City Clerk:
Commissioner Waters referred to the property
available for purchase near Jordon Park which
George Worley reported on earlier in the agenda .
He indicated he would like the property to be
dedicated for parks , only. He referred to a park
that at one time the City contemplated naming
"Adele Grage Park" where Ocean Drive and Seminole
Road intersect . He felt perhaps the park could
be sold and the money utilized to buy the property
near Jordon Park , and he asked that this matter be
researched.
Commissioner Waters referred to a business called
"The Lake Doctor" and an article that appeared in
the newspaper indicated they had sprayed
illegally. He asked Mr . Kosoy if staff called DNR
for reports concerning vendors, to which Mr. Kosoy
reported he called DNR for reports, and that he
was monitoring the work of the Lake Doctor on a
daily basis .
Commissioner Waters referred to a leaking well on
Coral Street and Mr. Kosoy reported this was being
investigated by Staff, HRS and St . Johns Water
Management District . He indicated the problem
should be resolved in the near future , and as soon
as it is determined who the owner of the well was,
the well would be capped off and abandoned.
Mayor Gulliford announced JCCI was looking for
study issues and he asked that staff respond to
the request .
There being no further business the Mayor
adjourned the meeting at 9 : 35 p
