<br />Cedar Point areas, as well as Manor View area~ and a pumping station on Chandler Harper Drive. The following
<br />bids were received: ~
<br />
<br />Contract S-6 (Mimosa Cove and Cedar Point areas)

<br /> 81,648.00
<br />
<br /> Unit prices are considerably in excess of those received for similar work some six months ago, and such
<br />results in much higher overall prices. There appears to be a possibility to save money in Contract S-7, Manor
<br />View area sewers, by a change in the pavement specifications. It is felt that a savings of some $45,000 can be
<br />accomplished by this c]lange, and is, therefore, recommended that this bid be rejected and readv~rtised. It can
<br />be readvertised within a two-weeks period.
<br />
<br /> The low bid for Contract S-9, Chandler Harper Drive Pumping Station, is $54,408. In view of this station
<br />providing service for Contract S-7, Manor View sewers, it is recommended that we withhold awarding this bid
<br />pending receipt of new bi~ls on Contract S-7.
<br />
<br /> The low bid for Contract S-6, Mimosa Cove and Cedar Point area, is $265,117.80 and we see no way of
<br />materially reducing this cost. It is, therefore, recommended that this contract be awarded to A. Stuart Bolling
<br />Company, Inc."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Eastes to award Contract S-6, Mimosa Cove andCedar Point areas to the 10w bidder, A. Stuart
<br />Bolling, was adopted, wlthout dissenting vote.
