Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Deputy Director Serafini explained the scoring method used during the interview. Commissioner Bristol expressed his concerns with Turner Construction and the delays experienced by Anaheim Union High School District. Commissioner Junor added; the Orange County Board of Supervisors discussed this issue at the February 7, 2006 Board meeting. Deputy Director Serafini responded the branch of Turner recommended for this project is the aviation branch, not the general contracting branch. Commissioner Bristol commented the references for Parsons appeared to be for larger projects. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Deputy Director Serafini explained that the companies interviewed were required to bring their project management team to the interview. Deputy Director Serafini continued there is a lack of airport projects and therefore all companies were presenting the best teams available.
    On the motion and second of Commissioners Junor and Bristol, item 2 was passed.
