KAYSVILLE A new FARMINGTON concept to medical insurance and methods of treatment has met with tentative approval of the Davis County Commission. THE PROPOSED program, an alternative program to one already offered Davis County employees, was presented by David Candland and Greg Clark of Family Health Program, a health maintenance organization with headquarters in Ogden. The insurance program provides some additional benefits from those already being offered by the current county insurance plan, but there are also some disadvantages to the THE KAYSVILLE REFLEX 197 B" North Main St., Layton PHONE 376-913- 3 Published Weekly by cumuQiessa.

TEKTON, INC., of Salt Lake City, was named contractor for the new junior high said school in east Bountiful. They submitted a $4,856,000 bid for the project with an August 21, 1981 completion date. It was the absence of that date in the low bid, submitted by Far West Construction, also of Salt Lake City, that snubbed them out of the project. Their bid was for $34,000 less. Fifteen bids were submitted, the high bid of $5,216,000 only $350,000 above that low bid. Even that high bid was well below the $6,017,000 estimated cost by the architects, Montmorency, Hayes and Talbot of Salt Lake City.

Mike Tolboe. I don not feel the construction schedule as called for can be reliable until we consult with the subcontractors. I dont feel we could give an adequate schedule until I contacted them to see if there will be any delays right at the gate. A schedule could be given but I would question the reliability. HE INDICATED construction of a secondary school by that firm for the Granite (Salt Lake County) School District was delayed because of delivery problems on equipment including electrical fixtures. Board.Alember Dee Forbes from Layton said a demand exists for aircraft materials, for instance, that the lead time is just out of this world and it is difficult to obtain parts, especially on time.

Morris F. Swapp. THE REPORTS were man- dated by the library board upon her reinstatement in January. In a board meeting last week, Board Chairman Evan W'hitesides said Comm. Swapp had indicated he didnt have time and felt they were no longer necessary. Comm. Swapp and board members Sharon Shumway Smith and Robert Arbuckle called for Miss Layton's resignation last August and voted her out of a job in late September.

The integrity of this (building) department is at stake, said Assistant Supt. John S. White, who oversees building and grounds. Youll (board) remember how often weve discussed the appropriateness of including a completion date. I think youll recall when it came to this building we felt strong enough at the time to give a $30,000 bonus. I CANNOT recommend waiving this clause.

Mr. Forbes asked about performance of Tekton, general contractors on the Holt Elementary School originally set for completion in August but delayed in west Clearfield. OUR PERSONAL relations with Tekton have been excellent, Dr. White said. There have been some problems that school is highly unusual in terms of construction (it is a y steel exterior structure). The weather has been highly uncooperative but theyve put on extra personnel and weren't permitted to start at the specified time. Theyve been above board fair and square.
