slab f~om Rea Gus Builders, for

was a lower bid on the concrete

the concrete and any steel
Councilman Lodico questioned the bid of Louis Rotundo's as
to how long it would take to complete this work for the price.
5 Min.
Councilman Sikes questioned why South East Construction was not
considered.
Mayor Severance requested that the bid for South East Construction
be read again. The City Manager then read the bid.
Mr. Howard stated that the City Manager and himself have cross
indexed all of the bids , to arrive at the lowest feasible bid.
It is his recommendation that the Council accept the bids as
he has spelled them out on the tabulation sheet. He stated that
if the Council awards it this includes the orginal fee that he
10 Min. had quoted for his architect work.
Councilman Sikes requested a brief run down on the building.
Mr. Howard then explained the plans for the new garage building.
It will be a building 60 feet deep and 120 feet in length. It
is a steel framed steel skinned building. Inside the building
there is an opening for a hydrolic hoist. There will be a floor,
drain, and an oil drain. The floor will be sloped so that all
the water will run to the four doors. There is four manly
operated steel garage doors, which are 14 feet wide and 14 feet
high. There will be six windows, eight sky lights, and one
personel door. The slab is 6 inches deep with number 3 rods at
16 inches on center. The Electrically operated hoist was omitted,
we saw another system that is a much simplier system, that could
15 Min. possibly be built by the City crews.
A Representative from Sampley Interprises stated that there had
been a misundeLstanding in his bid. He explained that the bid
includes 26 gage steel not 24 gage.
Mr. Howard stated that he was sorry that he had misinterperted
the bid. He also stated that he would still recommend that they
go with this bid due to the fact that it still was the low bid.
20 Min. Councilman Lodico duly mAde a motion to award the bids per
recommendation from the architect, being seconded by Councilman
Sikes. Mayor Severance called for questions.
Councilman Dietz stated that the report that we just had from
our auditors last week would state clearly that this is a
violation for Section 88 of the City Charter, that no bids, no
contracts entered into unless there has been a budget appropriation
made prior to the entering of the contracts or the awarding
of the bids.
Mayor Severance stated that he knew what Councilman Dietz was
referring to bu, he felt that itmeant that no expenditures could
be made. We're going to have an amendment to the budget to
include the unappropriated portion prior to any expenditures from
these bids.
