INTERIOR DECORATOR PLAN ACCEPTED FOR THE NORTH PALM BEACH
COUNTRY CLUB
By consensus, the Council agreed to first consider a motion to accept the proposed plan
of Omni Interiors, Inc., and consider implementation with a separate vote.
Councilman Vastola moved to accept the proposed plan of Omni Interiors, Inc. for
remodelling of the North Palm Beach Country Club, including the additional supplement
as part of that plan. Councilman Tringali seconded the motion, and all present voted aye.
During discussion Village Manager Den_ nis Kelly explained that the project would require
two parallel actions, i.e. the interior decorating plans as well as architectural plans, with
the eventual construction work being bid out to a contractor. Mr. Kelly also stated that
clarification is needed from the Village Attorney regarding the possibility of using the same
architect for this short-term project that is being considered for the long-range plan
(master plan), for which proposals have already been received. Mr. Kelly also reminded
the Council that Florida Statutes require that proposals be accepted for the architectural
work if the project exceeds the threshold price that is determined by statute, which is
approximately $200,000-$250,000. Regarding the immediate Interior Decorating project,
Omni Interiors, Inc. has completed the job they were hired to do, and Council would have
to go out for bid again for interior decorating services, as well as architectural services.
Councilman Tringali moved that this plan be moved forward, with direction to staff to take
whatever action is necessary with an interior decorator and an architect to bring this plan
to fruition. Councilman Vastola seconded the motion.
Discussion continued, during which Councilman Tringali and Councilman Vastola agreed
to clarify the motion by directing staff to go out to bid for an interior decorator, an
architect, an alternate bid for a roof, and to incorporate the 8/3/98 recommendations of
the Country Club Administrative Board for consideration; and to direct staff to come back
with some financing options.
Thereafter, the motion passed 3-0.
